street trucks there. i just wanna make it clear that those 3 truck and i don't know what type of data with that but the day i understand, but the truck to might have to ride in the morning. maybe they came later us president electronic but i'd say is more members of his future administration with many of the candidates previously stating it's fun to stop sending funding fuel the ukraine complex, weak from the cold, if actual changes in foreign policy and putting a price on the torture a us federal jury orders and american defense contractor, who hired employees up in it for ease of great detention center to pay tens of millions of dollars in damages to free for rocky pressed the from oscar to the world. this is our to hello and welcome to the news ramp. this

thursday. we begin with breaking news israel as launch new our strikes on the southern suburbs of the lebanese capital. targeting an area next to the capitals are report. the, the, the footage from the scene shows miss solves hitting a neighborhood, and that's very close to be route to international airport as a plane was talk, seeing as well on the runway. other video was circulating online show friends of smoke and debris in the aftermath of the blast. there's be no initial reports of casualties. the idea of claims the attacks targeted because below weapons that those commands centers and other infrastructure runs risk. and the fact you ation orders were issued to the areas population before hand. as more details come in on this, we'll bring it to you as well. but i believe right now we can speak to

our tea correspondents, steve sweeney in, at lab, and on just back in bay road. steve at good to see you at take us through. what's known about these latest is really or strikes. had there been a period of relative come in the build up of the well yes, quite dramatic scenes that you can see here in the liberties capital just behind me . you can see the da here to 6 my bellowing from the altar. most of the latest is right is strikes. now, that was a low, a brief slow for a few days, but it has since changed the bombardment of the southern suburbs if they were being pretty intensive since then. you've seen a dramatic footage. all of it is right involving, taking place as an airplane was just taking off from the international airport. now, the introduction to apple has remained open. the buttons have targeted very close to that before it remains open to commercial flights. and of course, it is crucial to international aid,

much needed international aid entering level. now the ball, but it has intensified over the policy few days that has been a switching tactics from as well. the for means like for the a passing old. the evacuation old is issue sometime in the evening, around 9 or 10 o'clock at nights. and then the bullying. salting sued often with people evacuating and leaving the area since a to for the past 2 days now. so it is a full names have started very early in the building, those evacuation oldest being issued around until 9 o'clock in the morning. and the building salting, just around 30 minutes off to those of occupation orders issued about the bombing also coincides with the re commencement of the school year. of course, many children across the liberties, capitals, being unable to attend the education. unable to attend that costs. as many of the schools are being turned into temporary shelters, some of them were in areas that were very close to the bombing and very high risk.

so some of seeing this as a deliberate tactics deliberately timed locals, the saying that children are screaming when they hear the public folding. and then soon after returning to know. but of course, the united nations, as was of a last generation of children and young people in lebanon due to the war, we have to reiterate again, the dia is a civilian area. on the early mornings of the times when local people return to their homes to collect their belongings or they return to the shops and their apartment buildings that are being destroyed, searching through the rubble for whatever remains. so these are busy times that of course the bombing has caused k. allstate, schools, panic, paperless, streaming out, trying to leave. and there are huge traffic jams. the civilian buildings that are being destroyed have included chicken shops, chicken restaurants, a hospital, a medical center has been very, very by the damage among palm, just yesterday,

landed very day. a kindergarten of course, is not just baby is coming under attack in the east and back off in the south in about, you know, so to the agent, historical city or us go, well, have some side with these areas of being focus, the focus of very, very intense and vine, an opponent with a huge casualties in those areas. buildings of course, destroyed. now again, it's not just 11 in the is coming under attack. we've heard now that the is right is how can we dial bullying all residential areas in the syrian capital at damascus? now the us envoy 2 levels on a list. hope stein will, he was choose to meet those people across the country. this region is due to hold a series of meetings with officials, including the parliamentary speak, could not be very, this is of course to do with the potential for a sci fi he was sent here with the blessing of having the all, the us president elect donald trump, but the 2 sides. well,

they seem very much part was a part of the force as well. it was locked into it and hostile it is a total of the defense minister, the new defense minister as well. so announced earlier this week, that would be no c 5 with lebanon, i'm, he announced an expansion. all the ground operation lacks in the, in southern lebanon, west, by to, is intensified between has belong and, and is well, is about a cause. fighting to really make any grounds in the invasion of fighting to hold any territory. this is according to the problem it g speaker. now the battery and the 5 minutes. i'm not you, mccarthy, they're both issue statements around that. so this new tactic of bombing civilian areas, but also of building areas where displaced people all seeking shelter is seen as an attempt to so division. i'm perhaps even promote the civil war. steve, thanks very much and bring us right up to date what was being unfolding in southern

a route today with nearly 2000000 palestinians and gals are bracing for a 2nd winter on subsequent catastrophic humanitarian conditions caused by the war. burly, a 10th of committed trucks as agreed upon any deal, stroke ultimatum between israel and washington are reported. the crossing into gals occurring much needed food, shelter equipment, and medical supplies. well is real estates. larger numbers of maurice leaving with goods are at border crossing is about to happen and being collected by humanitarian agencies. from these really side on one almost empty check point here is are to use me if an arson i went out at the care, i'm so long crossing between israel and southern gaza. the trip found itself is over there. but we were not allowed to feel in that direction. this is the key entry point for humanitarian aid into the war tour in palestinian and clay were experts now say this situation is at its worst level in the setting,

months of conflict. but check point is open and functioning. we can see cars going in and out from time to time, but not trucks. last time we were here months ago this whole square was full of cargo vehicles carrying food. a walter or medical shelter supplies desperately needed on the other side of the water waiting to cross. as you can see, it is almost empty. now there are only 3 vehicles here and it's not exactly clear what's inside them. we're here 2 days off to the american ultimatum for israel to boost age to the guys us 3 expired with israel reportedly failing to meet the criteria and laid out by its allies last month. as you remember, washington asked israel to increase crisis assistance to the guy is a straight, we think subsidized warning that's failure to comply could impact us was one

thing i'm on all the demands for us, for 350 truckloads of goods to and to gather daily car would be a levels remain below these benchmark on the day the ultimatum expired. this, these really agency called gods which coordinates government activities in palestinian territories. and that is also in charge of coordinating a delivery to gauze or report that the just $117.00 trucks crossed through kara, which alone, based crossing and do all the crossings. again, while we're, we're here, we didn't see any truck crossing, they sold a call, but states that nearly 900 truckloads of age waiting for collection at this moment and clear the exactly where, but definitely notes here. we also hear that the reeves a sold from the guys inside of the border from the other side of this check point is there a way is international organizations for failing to collapse the age. but distribution

groups working on the ground in the guys as 3. but use is real or not provide an adequate security or facilitating humanitarian relief. in the past month, we've seen families throughout garza, and particularly in the north subjected to increasingly horrific conditions. this is a damning indictment of israel's failure to follow international humanitarian law and to respond to the critical and reasonable demands of its greatest ally, the united states. the consequences will be more innocent lives ended and destroyed . while we're filming here, one of the trucks, the white one started moving, surprisingly not towards the gauze. those 3, but away from it. we have been able to speak to the driver all that we called before. and he told us he's waiting for security clearance from the id up to cross the border. and apparently he didn't receive any authorization and he now left. so what's america say? cost of the deadline is higher. they took the state department representative

nearly certain minutes i've embrace thing to answer a simple yes or no question on whether it's real match the american criteria ultimately failing to explain those 30 days or up. and as you heard from everyone so far, and these 8 groups that came out last night, they haven't met them. and all of a sudden you say that the metrics that you put out don't matter. i, we've never said, i never said that, they don't matter. what i said was, these are metrics exactly like you put out. it's not around the lines. meaning, i don't want to take up time getting into a specific tit for tat on like track number the letter earlier at a similar racing. another representative joke about notes receiving grades mid semester. while discussing israel's efforts to increase desperately needed aid for starving palestinians engaged them. they've failed to implement all of the things

that, that we recommend and that now that said, we're not at the end of the 30 day period and we are, we are in covers already. it's not the end. it's not the end of the semester. you don't give out, you don't have the grades in the middle on the middle to love. it is the little bit know it's giving how washington is validate and israel's compliance. any serious consequences seem unlikely. murray, for ocean, i'll see, report thing from kim shuttle. i'm crossing in southern ero and earlier the spokes person from the grouping who controls border crossings. that is the coordination of government activities in the territories. showing me live. i discussed with him on a friedman why despite claims of increasing 8 efforts or crew leaf on 3 trucks out the site. and also asked what the current situation is, a border crossing on our tea ad cruise as we've just been leading. i travel to the term show on crossing and find just 3 trucks. uh, the checkpoint,

waiting to enter. dell is what exactly is the situation of the frontiers? i'm not quite sure when exactly the team arrives. there are as much a large number of trucks making its way to kind of shut them every single day. just just the material it, it was yesterday a day after the date. the deadline possible is wednesday that i understand, i don't know what hours, what time they with that. but what i can tell you about specifically tell them shuttle is that on the golden side of the quarter as be around 80280900 trucks. what of 8 weeks waiting to be picked up. 4 the international organizations, cuz the way the system works is the a makes its way to israel. it goes the, the comes through kind of shuttle and then goes through security inspection of the coughing. and is that offloaded on the golf inside of the border where the international organizations and once you pick it up and distribute it, what is the problem? because aid agencies of course, would want to to get that distributed as quickly as they can. are you saying they don't have the, the capability are, are, are enough aid workers being allowed to,

to, to operate there. the issue is one of the physical capabilities on behalf of the international organizations. and we've been working closely with them in order to help them increase their capacity and we've been encouraging them to do so. if there's a need for additional trucks, for example, since the beginning of the wall, they be exceptional relations of early board in around 13 new trucks to distribute aid, which isn't nearly as much as to increase their capacity. on our end, we have opened additional crossings. this week we sold a 5th crossing be opened in case of for you when you increase our working hours, we've increased manhouse taking many different steps in order to increase our capacity for inspection. that is not worried about the alternate claim. also that gives them once the aide is committed onto the golfing side of the border, these national organizations to pick it up and distribute it. just going back to the piece that we that we run. it was yesterday, it was during the day and the were just 3 trucks. there is been logistics between

the agencies that need tree or is it good enough in your view that when that a and all that you monetary and things are there that people can come and pick it up in a timely fashion. i just want to make it clear that those 3 trucks i get, i don't know what type of data with that, but the time is arriving today. so i understand, but the trucks might have arrived in the morning. maybe they came later. i can tell you that there were between a 100, a 150 trucks that went into because forget, so they kind of show them as well as all the crossings. i mentioned there are 5 active crossings. so i'm not, again, i don't know what time the team was there. i can tell you that those are the numbers because co got have representatives and all by all those crossings. israel has consistently improved our capacity to facilitate humanitarian a into because of strep. and we work together with windows internationals to assist them in the activities as well. so from beginning of to what we've opened for additional crossings, we started with one crossing. there are no 5, as i mentioned, which is a few opening this week. now the surprises keep coming as donald trump continues

to a 9 says new administration, the u. s. president elect a republican, has nominated former democratic congresswoman tooth and gilbert, the service director of national intelligence, that we had a great conversation and talk a little bit about the work that needs to be done and was grateful and honored to to accept president trump to offer to serve our country and support his objective to defend the safety, security and freedom of the american people as the director of national intelligence, cheese a full month democrats. she's not just any form of democrats, she was actually voice chaff of the democratic national policies that was housed in school. she was within the democratic policy. she even runs to be president in 2020 over c, moving out eventually right into joe biden. but she has long had problems within

the policy problems that she has for know repeated. she says that they need you to get rid of the role within your democratic policy that says paperless and back in 2020. when she was buying to be that presidential candidate what you have to say about the problems within her own policy. you have criticized hillary clinton as the quote personification of the rot, his stick in the democratic party. what is the right you see in the democratic party that our democratic party unfortunately, is not the party that is of by and for the people? is it a part of it is a party that has been and continues to be influenced by the foreign policy establishment in washington, represented by hillary clinton and others foreign policy by the military industrial complex and other greedy corporate interests. sen, harris. any response? oh, sure me so i think that it's

unfortunate that we have someone on the stage who is attempting to be the democratic nominee for president of the united states, who during the obama administration, spent 4 years full time on fox news criticizing. president obama. this is the 1st time she'd criticized her and policy actually when a palmer was no, but she was hugely critical of his policy when it came to syria, actually criticizing his administration for the money. it was given to the so called syrian rebels, rebels who later ended up selling or becoming terrorist group, such as i'll call you to an ice system. she said at the time that it was the, the decisions by the administration. that's cool, so much how about in the world over the past 2 decades? that's just take a listen to what she said in regards to that specific issue. why is it such a difficult position to take to say that we said stop army stream is stream services and it's really not a difficult position, nor should it be. i think every american would be

a surprise to know that for years our government has been providing both direct and indirect support. to these are militant groups who are working directly with or, or even under the command of terrorist groups. like all tied to an ice is all in their or their effort and fights over throw the syrian government. well, a glide view is may have spoken the fact that that was an odd scene in like the she gave an interview to us. those who exclusive comments to auntie at the time, but i think it gives you a sense of who this individual is. she's somebody who's happy to speak her mind as a result of that. she has been criticized massively within their own policy. and here she is, a former democrat, i'm now going to be the national director of us intelligence ahead of what 18 agencies with some $17000000000.00 at her disposal. this is a massive appointment and she will be back shaping the donald trump foreign policy

playbook close up the next 4 years. what a turn around. so yeah, certainly, and as i said, she's known to speak her mind. so what does she said about some of the current events? well, yes, no to speaker mind, did you notice a thing or 2? i mean, she has at that slammed so many things that the bite and administration has been doing over the last is want to start off with fire laps. biologics, awesome thing. russia is accused ukraine of having for a very long time and saying that the us funded them that was denied over and over then back in 2020 to victoria, noon. and 2, at the time was the, and the secretary of state kind of notes that the us was involved in some via lots and ukraine, dialog poundstone. this was like say you go with what she was telling the truth. yes. there were these biologics in ukraine by lives that the us is funding. she was a time everybody was like, you are lying, your russian stooge. that systems, her comments on the bio lapse. here are the undeniable facts. there are 25 to

30 us funded bio labs in ukraine instead of trying to cover this up. the biden. harrison ministration needs to work with russia, ukraine, nato, the u. n. to immediately implemented cease fire for all military action. the vicinity of these labs until they are secured, and these pathogens are destroyed. so completely verified in the price, but then just a few months, like the pentagon had to come clean and say, yes, actually, it was the $20.00 old that she mentioned. there's actually 46 point labs, so the us was funding, so i mean, she was under playing it but yet, and she was cool. the russian stooge, when it comes to the current conflict in the middle east, between gauze and israel, we know that she's fully supportive of israel, so we don't expect to see any particular shift that. but then coming back to censorship on the way that she's being called a russian stooge. a gap out that has, over and over, i said that she believes russia had legitimate concerns when it came to ukraine.

and despite that, she was sense in the price. she was told to shut up by her policy and others, and that's something that's become really important to her, that this is what she have to say about what it's like to be a person, since it's for speaking, not just your mind, but the actual tricks. there's a representative landsman from ohio who said, quote, why are we being asked to ban american officials from trying to stop propaganda from foreign adversaries? like putting wires, some for posing, we leave syria which prudent wants. why is the call to a band and ukraine continuing to emerge from some members? he goes on to say, remember, and i'm quoting him. remember, hitler did this. he used americans to spread his propaganda and it cost millions their lives put in is doing the same thing. so to be

clear, this congressman from ohio feels that americans who dare to say, hey, we need to stop writing blank checks to fund this proxy. war against the rush of via ukraine must be silenced. he feels that anyone who says, hey, we need to bring our troops home from syria, our russian propagandist, and must be silenced. this is dangerous because this is coming from people who are in great positions of power to actually act on this nonsense. but according to the democrats, she's a russian states deposit despite the over and over she's been proved, correct. and i just want to add 25 brief points here. she has window for no, for the by didn't administration, is pooled the world closer to a nuclear wall than ever before. we now have reports in the last 24 hours that show

that ukraine is considering building a new clip home, despite the fact that it's a signet change, the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. and as a result of her not being pointed, she has been put on the ukranian. that's less, the more toby it's list in the last few hours. i think that gives you a sense of what she is thinking and essentially proofing its puns at the idea of somebody who's coming in, who's willing to listening to a russian point of you know, the story to bring you to decades on abu ghraib interrogators or finally facing accountability for the sexual abuse and torture inflicted on iraqi detainees. us defense contractor c, a. c, i hired the employees who were now under investigation to work up in a tory as detention center. an american jury has ordered the multinational to pay $42000000.00 to $3.00. former prisoners are 2 correspondent, marina costs are of the can tell us more. a better late than never. i guess it's

look 16 years for these 3 of rocky men who ones for the horrors of the, the floor is double gray prison. so get justice. the case was 1st filed back in 2008, but it was only this year that an american jury got to hear what these men went through. my body was like a machine responding to all external orders. the only part i owned was my brain, which could not be stopped by the black plastic bag they used to cover my head. this is just one of hundreds of stories of abuse against the chinese to emerge from the jail run for years by the us military, n. c. i a, the,

as long as we were tracked by, whoops, attacked by police, starts beaten by whips. when americans fired live ammunition at us, they killed 2 people in front of me, put them in body bags and took them away. we're blindfolded hand cost. i've suffered from very painful memories. i wouldn't be able to show us. they would hang a prisoner on the missing door of the cell and subjects i'm to electrocution or urination. they would stick a rifle incense to berries, but they would use a broken broomstick causing internal bleeding. prisoners would need surgery while we went through and what happened to the rock was a terrible cry. it broke us. even now i can't get inside the cloth because it makes me think of multiple in the j. i have to write was released when it right. so americans on the streets would be terrified, they would send me back to that place and torture me,

and yet it still keeps me up at night. remembering the torture, i hear the screens of the one bus and i brought it down to be a look at the time i spend in the brazen felt like a life time an hour or that pain. cumulation and, and the chest is, stays with you forever. the rod is global war on terror, the us hired thousands of contractors to flood and it's conflicts tend to avoid the repeats of vietnam war syndrome and thousands of body bags coming home. spots of the on the line, things when badly wrong with pmc is engaging in widespread human rights violations and criminal act c, a c i. the company in question, in this case, argue there is no proof. it was their employees responsible for the crimes. blaming

the us government and military, while washington on depends to go on distance themselves from these atrocities, calling them isolated incidents we set out on our course to find the truth, not to whitewash and also not to convict those people who are not incriminated. we found that the pictures you have seen as revolting as they are were not the result of any doctrine, training or policy failures. but violations of the law and misconduct we learned are leaders and avo garad who knew about this conduct knew better and did nothing. some soldiers behaved in properly because they were confused by their experiences and direction. we certainly wish i would grab, hadn't happened, but that, that's did not reflect, you know, america, this was the actions of,

of some soldiers, even the blame game between the us government and tim sees itself and it took this long to deliver just as considering the mass of evidence of torture and abuse would even an entire awards with an expos, a include in testimonies from former interrogators admitting to these crimes, revealing the scale of the crimes. americans did this to the rocky prisoner. according to the us army, the man was told to stand on a box with his head covered with wires attached to his hands. he was told that if he fell off the box, he would be electrocuted. it was this picture and dozens of others that prompted an investigation by the us army nudity was, was sort of the theme of the entire prison. the number of iraqis that, that were naked was what was shocking and was cold sleep deprivation. and for standing where.
