the longer the pollution making, it seems that i'm on the breaking news. there's real tardies. i do a tax on the southern babe ruth with one strike heading and area near the lebanese capitals or ports to plains. hocksey close also went out at the care m shalom crossing between israel and southern gaza. as you can see, it is almost a m to now there are only 3 vehicles here and it's not exactly clear what inside. there are 2 reports from an idea of control check points. washington's ultimatum to israel to increase, to monitoring a together expires. we are really organization responsible for aid access to the enclave where the rest,

the below result was. yesterday it was during the day i'm the, we're just free trucks there. i just want to make it clear that those 3 truck and i don't know what kind of data with that, but it was around midday. i understand, but the trucks might have arrived in the morning. the came later us president electronic finance is more members of his future administration, with many of the candidates previously stating its fun to stop sending functions the fuel, the ukraine complex. we examined, if actual changes in foreign policy lie a hand that's all i had this our, the across the world, the run the clock. this is archie. hello and welcome to the next hour. we begin with breaking news. israel has launched news or strikes on the southern suburbs. i've been lebanese capital targeting and area next to the cities report.

the footage from the scene shows me so i was hitting a neighborhood near pay roots international. it reports us a plane was tucked, seeing on the runway. other video circulating online also show pins of smoke and debris. in the aftermath of the explosion, there's been no initial reports of casualties. the idea of claims the tax target cause ball a weapons, death bows come home, centers and other infrastructure and stress that evacuation orders were issued severely as population before. how r t correspondents, steve sweeney reports not from a root. the quite dramatic things that you can see and the liberties capital just behind me. you can see the da here to fix my bellowing from the altar. most of the latest is righty strikes now. that was a low, a brief load for a few days, but it has since changed the bombardment of the southern suburbs if they were being pretty intensive since then, you'd have seen a dramatic footage. all of it is right involving,

taking place as an airplane was just taking off from the international airport now that the international apple has remained open. the phones 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. uh, so the ball, but it has intensive hard over the past few days. it has been a switching tactics from as well. the buildings where they feel like a pattern of the evacuation old is issue sometime in the evening, around 9 or 10 o'clock at nights, and then the building solving soon off there with people evacuating and leaving the area. but since a to, to, for the past 2 days now, those buildings have started very early in the building. those evacuation notice being issued around until 9 o'clock in the morning and the building starting just around 30 minutes off of those of occupation orders issued up. but the bombing also

coincides with the re commencement of the school year. of course, many children across the liberties capital, being unable to attend the education not able 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 plumbing and very high risk . so some of seeing this as a deliberate tactics deliberately timed local is the saying that children are screaming when they hear the form of 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 the but then 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 that belongings or they return to the shops in their apartment buildings that are being destroyed, searching through the rubble for whatever remains. so these are busy times that of course the foaming high schools, kyle city schools, panic, people streaming out,

trying to leave and there are huge traffic jobs. 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, learned the very day. a kindergarten of course is not just the baby is coming under attack in the east and back off in the south in the box. you know, so tear the agent of historical city or unesco will have to start with these areas of being focus the focus of very, very intense and vine. an opponent was a huge casualties in those areas. buildings of course, destroyed. now again, it is not just 11 and the is coming on the attack. we've heard now that the is right is how can we dial upholding all residential areas in the syrian capital at damascus? now the us envoy to level of us hope stein will. he was choose to meet people

across the country. this week it was due to all the savings of meetings with officials, including the parliament, seems to be 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, po was a part of the movement and of course, as well as we're locked into in hostilities, 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, and he announced an expansion of the ground operation that in the, in so the level of west bottle is intensified between has the law and, and as well as the pools, fighting to really make any grounds in the invasion of fighting to hold any type of fetus according to the problem it g speak to not be very under 5 minutes of not human policy. they're both state you statements around that. so this new tactic of a bombing civilian have is, but also

a bullying areas with this place. people all seeking shelter is seen as an attempt to so division. i'm perhaps even provoked a civil war nearly 2000000 palestinians and girls that are racing for a 2nd winter um the subsequent catastrophic humanitarian conditions of war. burly 110th of the agreed upon trucks promised in a deal stroke ultimatum between israel and washington are reported. the crossing into a gallery occurring much needed food show for equipment and medical supplies. that's as real estates, larger numbers of laurise leaving with goods on the border crossings. but helping to been collected by who monitoring agencies from the is really side of one almost empty check. point here is r t 's. maria finance. i went out at the care. i'm so long crossing between israel and southern gaza. the check point itself is over there. but we were not allowed to feel in that direction. this is the key entry point for humanitarian aid in to 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 road, 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 guy who has 3 expired, with israel reportedly failing to meet the criteria 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, coal, for me, 350 truckloads of goods to and to gather daily. currently, a levels remains fall below these benchmark on the day, the ultimatum expires if these really agency called gods which coordinates governments 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 along this crossing and do all the crossings. again, while we're, we're here, we didn't see any truck cross thing. they stoled 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 there is a stole from the guys inside of the boulder from the other side of these 10 points

is there a way is international organization, school failing to collect the age, but distribution groups working on the ground in the guise of 3 of accused israel all not provide an adequate security or facilitating human determines 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's pay off to the deadline? it's higher, they took the state department, the representative, nearly certain minutes as a great thing to answer is simple. yes or no question on whether is real match the american criteria ultimately failing to explain those 30 days. ready 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 winds, 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 raising 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 covered, got ready, it's not, and it's not the end of the semester. we don't do that. we don't have the grades in the middle on the middle. the levity is the little bit. know i've given how washington is validate and israel's compliance. any serious consequences? same unlikely noise at ocean are all t reporting from kim shuttle. i'm crossing in southern ero, hold earlier, the spokes person from the grouping who controls border crossings nowadays, the coordination of government activities in the territories joined me live i a shipment friedman. why, despite plans of increasing aid efforts, the frontier was almost empty of murray's on r t ad cruise. as we've just been leading, i travel to the term show on the crossing and find just 3 trucks. uh the checkpoint,

waiting to enter deals. what exactly is the situation of the frontiers? i'm not quite sure when exactly the the team arrives that there are as much a large number of trucks making its way to kind of shut on every single day. just just the material it, it was yesterday a day after the date the deadline possible is wednesday. as 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 80380900 trucks. what of 8 weeks waiting to be picked up. 4 the international organizations, because the way the system works is the, makes its way to israel. it goes to come through kind of shuttle and then goes through security inspection of the coughing and isn't offloaded on the guards 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 out and distribute it 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. there's a need for additional trucks, for example, since the beginning of the wall. the instructional revisions of early board in around 13 new trucks to distribute aid, which isn't nearly enough to increase that capacity. on our end, we have opened additional crossings. this week we sold a 5th crossing be opened in case of feed, when you increase our working hours, increase manhouse taking many different steps in order to increase our capacity for inspection. that is not where the ultimately the goal. so that gives them once the aide is committed onto the golfing side of the board of the international organizations to pick it up and distribute. 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 the logistics between the agencies that need tree or is it good enough in your view that when that aid

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 truck and 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 for guessing they don't 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, but i can tell you that those are the numbers because co got has representatives and all 5 of those crossings. israel has consistently improved our capacity to facilitate humanitarian aid. into the goal is a strip and we work together with the windows internationals to assist them in that activities as well. so from beginning of to what we've opened for additional crossings, we started the one with one crossing. there are no 5, as i mentioned, with just a few opening this week. the violent scenes have returned to major european

capitals in response to the gales of war, including in partis which again is bracing for potential disorder. as friends prefers those israel in a european football qualifier. tonight, skirmishes between protesters and law enforcement were seen on the eve of the game with multiple arrests made. but archie corresponded yes. and that can isn't the french capital? yes. anything to you? i imagine part of so city which has seen on rest over the palestinian issue for many months is a little tense right now. i had of the nation's league much it definitely is. and i mean from the start the fonts where the competition will take place later in the evening. and as part of the us national lead, again, we understand that the nation's league is a competition which brings international football sides up against each other end tonight. the home team problems will be playing the away team, israel, and that has been a great deal of criticism in this, not just process voicing the opposition. we've seen similar positions taken by

supporters of other football clubs across the region as well. we understand that there were similar that was similar apart in amsterdam. we understand that there was a football match and you wait for the game between the turkish side. basic touch on the is rarely to the side and they wanted to ensure that the football game was not played in the country ended up. there's a great deal of protests about looking at the scenes here, of course, before the unrest in amsterdam when, which is the, is really telling, telling me my cubby supporters took to the streets and vandalized in the streets of amsterdam. we know that the power saint germain side, besides the essentially a issue there's support to the palestinian pod. but more than that, there was a great deal of criticism that was voice in respect to that. and one of the more important things that we're looking at right now is, of course, the police presence just traveling through the capital city at this given moment. it does seem that it's a bit quiet that it's a bit calm,

but it is the calm before i'm distorted because we understand on wednesday, supporters of the french national and same chapter, the streets and support on palestine criticizing the is really side calling on the french politicians to take a stands but more important take over the section called on the french football players as well. do not take to the pitch in protest of the atrocities that these when the government has committed over the course of the past years or so. and one more thing that's important to know at this given point is of course, we understand that the unrest on wednesday did result in a number of and important development is what we understand that the, there was an a, there was a meeting between is rarely supporters we understand that the other one is really a high level profile individual that was expected to attend the event due at the time of the game later here in the evening. but he canceled as a result of the unrest as a result of the protest across the french capital. let's take a look. let's take a look at what the unrest has been like over the course of the past week or so.

whether we're talking about paris, sit down or elsewhere the, the so it is, it shows supporters of the policy being causal in protesters of the is really government's actions. and we understand that the front side has taken a position as well. the police took to the streets to ensure that the unrest is contained to an extent. but if it is anything like the events that understood um was that we can expect the unrest to grow even further. because the tel aviv side, the is really side has been provoked it and when it came to football competitions,

it has issued slurs and i suggested that the israeli side is more superior to that of the arabs calling on the desk to the arabs and very some of the slogans so we can expect them very similar. see here it's retention rises and we have a very good expectation that that could be the case. and that's exactly why thousands of police are essentially scattered across the capital mainly around the stadium. just buying your remind is indeed what occurred in amsterdam and the diplomatic full light at which was triggered by that. involving, as you say, might, could be a ton of a broad or high that well, there are a number of things that we need to consider, right. and we understand that the events did result in a great deal of heresy. so the is really government issue statement suggesting that the palestinians, the partners are the protest there is that were protesting against the is really football team that they were protesting, essentially,

genocidal and crime slurs and they weren't married right now. there's a great deal of assessments in that respect. of course, the initial support has been suggested that the main cause of the protests and the violence. and obviously that was the result of publication by kind of thing and supporters for the protesters. but of footage that emerged after the fact of course the just a difference picture in that picture is of course when we look at the football supporters that's up to the streets. we understand that they tore down publish them in flags that they present regular upset within the, within the dodge city of amsterdam. but we can expect very similar things. we understand that there was a great deal of support to the palestinian cause. we understand that the french people, it's an example of course have a position against the is really government. so just looking at some of these documents that were shared, we understand that these when 5 minutes have benjamin antonio on friday, said that the, the, the, the events essentially marked the streets of amsterdam in which the funds to god's

ears and the mobs, which is not necessarily the case of the people that's up to the streets weren't necessary, protesting is released, but is really government policies within the region. another statement of course, suggests that jews are being targeted as a result of this, especially disregarding the events of the past year, the atrocities that these ran. the government has carried out in gaza as well as the west bank, as well as in loving on investment, which really brings the front side closer in on this game is because we understand that in the front do have some sort of benefits with respect to living on we understand that they have a deeply rooted history as well, and the front side for support the lebanese side to an expense as well. but is there any actions essentially surpassed that them guys, it has essentially taken lemon on into the mix as well. but looking at everything, of course, is a great deal of sentiments by these really gover, suggesting that this is on the semitic actions, and that it has nothing to do with the action of the is really government. so as

the evening rose and we understand that people will begin to gather in the french capital that we will see people gathering. there will be a great deal of tension. and whether that leads to anything further is going to be something that we will be observing. like from par a, sorry to correspondent. yes. and that can know the surprises keep coming. as donald trump continues to a 9 says new administration, the u. s. president elect the republican has nominated former democratic congresswoman tools to gilbert to serve as director of national intelligence. we had a great conversation and talk a little bit about the work that needs to be done. and i 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 chest 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, losing out eventually right into joe biden. but she has long had problems within her own policy problems that she has for no repeated. she says that they need you to get rid of the rules within the democratic policy. that's just 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 ross, who's speaking 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. um i, i think that um, 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 as and she said at the time that it was the, the decisions by the administration. that's cool. so much have

a 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 should 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 aussie 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 speak of mine did. she knows a thing or 2. i mean, she has at slammed so many things that the bite and administration has been doing over the last few years on installed stuff wouldn't fire lapse biologics, awesome thing. russia was accused ukraine of having for a very long time in 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 under secretary of state, kind of a notes that the us was involved in some via lots and ukraine dialogue. poundstone,

it was like say you go with what she was telling the truth. yes, there were these by lapse in ukraine by lives that the us is funding. she was a time. everybody was like, you are lying your russian stage. that system to have 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 harris administration needs to work with russia, ukraine, nato, the u. n. to immediately implemented to cease fire for all military action. the vicinity of these labs until there 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 in the $20.00 or, but she mentioned there's actually $46.00 point labs. so the us was the funny thing . 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 back, 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 was 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 food and 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. putting 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 russia 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.
