state. there's been a critical response from washington — a us state department spokesman said there was "no long—term security without a two—state solution. many nations, including the us, have long called for a "two—state solution", in which a future palestinian state would sit side—by—side with an israeli one. mr netanyahu, however, has spent much of his political career opposing palestinian statehood. let's have a listen to what he told thursday's news conference. translation: in any arrangement in the foreseeable future, - with a settlement or without a settlement, israel needs security control over all territory west of the jordan river. this is a necessary condition and it clashes with the idea of palestinian sovereignty. what can you do? i tell this truth to our american friends and i also stopped the attempts to impose a reality on us that would harm israel's security. the prime minister needs to be capable of saying no to our friends, saying no when necessary and saying yes when possible. meanwhile, the israeli military has admitted it removed bodies from a cemetery in southern gaz

our state department correspondent in washington — tom bateman — explained what the re—designation meansns is bringing accountability to the houthis is a clear signalfrom the us that they regard what they're doing in the red sea and the gulf of aden as terrorism. but it is also designed to try and give the state some powers to take action against people that would give material support to the houthis. having said that, it is a lower level of terrorism designation as those that are more commonly used. and significantly, i don't think this is going to have any major impact on the houthis on the ground, and that is because they already face significant sanctions, visa travel bans and are very, very limited and isolated in terms of what they can do. most of their funding is clandestine anyway, or coming from networks that the us already has methods to try and dismantle and attack. so i don't think this is so much about its practical effect, more about its symbolism. and when you're talking along those lines, know the real those lines, the real message from the us has not been around the terr

let me say what a pleasure it is as always to have secretary here in washington at the state department. i am as always humbled by their courage and their sacrifice. from the outset, we have been very clear in morning that anyone looking to advantage of conflict in the middle east and try to expand it, don't do it. we have taken steps to defend ourselves and our partners as well as to prevent escalation the president has been crystal clear. we will respond decisively to any aggression and we will hold responsible the people who attacked our trips. we will do so at a time and place of our choosing. at the same time we remain focused on our core objectives in the region. both in terms of the conflict in gaza and to build a truly durable peace and security. to that end, i am meeting with the prime minister foreign minister of qatar to get hostages out and to create an extended pause. this is critical. critical to them being able to get to the formula that we have been talking about for putting to an end the cycle of violencme we've seen over generation to generation and the opportunity to

still like your opinion regarding the statement of the spokesman of the us state department, matthew miller, who stated that washingtonnot support the military financing of ukraine at the level of 2022-23 years . the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine is already discussing it. this statement of his, and there it was noted that the states seek to help ukraine develop its own military industrial base, therefore, in general, it is said that instead of supplying ready-made weapons, the states will produce them in ukraine, i would like your comment on this, do you think that this can somehow speed up, let's say, the delivery of the same missiles for air defense to the front faster, and their provision to the air force, in particular, for example, than we imagine it, because we understand , that all this needs a certain amount of time, in order to start production in ukraine, and even more so, we see that the enemy is attacking the civilian infrastructure , including, and are there any guarantees that such productions will be safe here, let's say yes, that's right, it's not done by one there one one lever to make it swi

state. the reponse from washington was critical — a us state department spokesman said there was "no way" tothout a two—state solution. many nations, including the us, have long called for a "two—state solution", in which a future palestinian state would sit side—by—side with an israeli one. mr netanyahu, however, has spent much of his political career opposing palestinian statehood. let's have a listen to what he said. translation: in any arrangement in the foreseeable future, - with a settlement or without a settlement, israel needs security control over all territory west of the jordan river. this is a necessary condition and it clashes with the idea of palestinian sovereignty. what can you do? i tell this truth to our american friends and i also stopped the attempts to impose a reality on us that would harm israel's security. the prime minister needs to be capable of saying no to our friends, saying no when necessary and saying yes when possible. live now to our correspondent mark lowen, who's injerusalem for us. these remarks will come as no surprise but i wonder where that leaves relat

have a swift investigation that according to a press release, that the department of state published and send out today, washington said that must be complete accountability for anyone who participated in the october 7th attack. and the us, it's not just any donor office organizations that also according to washington place, a critical role in providing life saving assistance through police pinions we have and that they give food that they give medicine that they also help with shelters. in 2022, the united states was the agents just because don't are contributing more than $340000000.00 us dollars. so we can expect that today's decisions will have a significant impact on the agencies capacity to help the civilians in the gaza strip. so let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. a new york jury has ordered fully us president donald trump, to pay right to aging carol $83000000.00 in damages for defamation. a trial last year found trump liable for sexually assaulting carol in 1996 and for the saving her by claiming she lied about the assault from his vows to appeal the slightest. rea

my account is joining us now in the us state department in washington dc. so what can we expect from this meeting, mike, as well the talk, so going on at the moment. uh, the 2 minutes disappeared briefly on camera for about to minutes. they didn't say anything. they went back into the tools, but it comes with a critical juncture. kata is a central figure in terms of securing the release of those captives being held in gaza. and this is obviously the top of the agenda between the secretary of state and the guitar, e prime minister. this is the absolutely crucial point for the united states and indeed will cut out and all parties involved in this ongoing conflict. now significant to is the fact that these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu, has just vehemently criticized casa for not doing, as he puts it enough to secure the release of the captives. this is something that caught to denies it as plain paying a major role behind the scenes in terms of achieving this. but what will be happening in the course of the next hour or so is discussion about those

for more on the latest from the united states, i'm joined by our state department in washington correspondentateman. we have also heard from the white house in the last couple of hours as well. bring us up-to-date on the reaction we are getting from where you are. tom: well, from the lieutenant general we are getting a bit more on the scale of this strike, a bit more than we were talking about certainly as it was developing into the night. but i also think a significant need that what he has confirmed is that there has been a further strike by houthi militia men, firing into the red sea earlier today, and that was significantly an antiship ballistic missile. these are among the weapons that the americans have pointed out that they are not going to tolerate. lee. we had president biden specifically making mention of antiship ballistic missiles in his statement last night. the point about these weapons is that they have an extremely fast trajectory. they are basically fired up in the air and they come back down with speed faster than a cruise missile, which means it is very hard for ships to ma

state department vedant patel. thus, he rejected accusations from russia that washington might have something to do with this incident. a us state department official said the us would coordinate with the ukrainians to investigate what happened, while mr patel added that the fact that the disaster happened on territory of russia will make it difficult not to... independently verify some details. in the end, he very gently said here: not checking some details, but actually checking everything that happened, because firstly, russia will not allow independent experts to conduct the investigation. secondly, what she will represent, well, of course, no one, no one will believe it. cease fire as soon as possible. to the negotiating table, in order to end the crisis, with such an appeal, and by the way, it contains the very word crisis, not war, addressed ukraine and russia today representative of the ministry of defense of china, wang of foreign affairs of china, wang wenbing. yes, he answered the question about what kyiv and moscow should do after the fall of the russian il in the sky over belgorod. as you understand, the

you will see we are sitting on . us you will see we are sitting on pictures from the state department in washingtonne. 0ur chief international correspondent lyse doucet is with me in the studio. just a quick word in terms of everything that is going on at the moment, the coalition and the red sea, the response there might be to this attack injordan, nato will have to be plugged into that so presumably he has to be consulted on this before there is a response. when it was involved in afghanistan, that was its first major operation outside its theatre because of what happened with the attacks of september 11 in the united states, it offered its support and nato armies were deployed in afghanistan across two decades. so this is not a theatre for them to operate in the middle east. there are un peacekeepers involved in parts of their middle east but nato is nato is not involved. jens stoltenberg will have to be across it, if only for the reason that his major major partner, the united states, the determines the success and failure in signing don't make so many nato missions, findings of distracted by t

mike, thank you very much. indeed, my kind of talking to us from us state department in washington dc. we will be listening out for that to visit by default, administer to the atlantic council to see what he's going to be saying. at least 5 people that being injured off to is really for his head, the all the hospital in jamalia in gaza. sections of the hospital or out of service and several ambulances have been damaged. obviously, it is other functionally is injured by here with more, i know not the salon. you know, i'm especially i don't of him korean, i'm just outside the hospital and to jump on the out. if you're just dropping off with the kinds of strip sometime ago, there's really a few patient world planes found at the hospitals building not going to massage defense as direct. and they resulted in massive damage to many parts of the hospital where the damage and the out of service, how much longer of ambulance goes and what also destroyed this is the often what is clearly visible. the hospitals main building was damaged. as a result, think top part of the building is now not goi

state, once the conflict in gaza comes to an end. the response from washington was critical a us state department spokesman said there was "no way" toa two—state solution. earlier i got the latest update with the israeli operation in the khan younis area. the israeli operation in the khan younis area-— the israeli operation in the khan younis area. ., , ., ., younis area. the onslaught in khan younis area. the onslaught in khan younis the — younis area. the onslaught in khan younis the largest _ younis area. the onslaught in khan younis the largest city _ younis area. the onslaught in khan younis the largest city in _ younis area. the onslaught in khan younis the largest city in the - younis area. the onslaught in khan younis the largest city in the south | younis the largest city in the south of gaza and where the israeli defence forces believe that some of the most senior hamas leaders are holed up in tunnels. possibly, they say, beneath hospitals which, clearly why there is intense military activity around a couple of hospitals there in the south. the palestinian friend chris and accusing israelis of firing towards one hospital a

washington dc jobs. so the us state department of said it's been quite clear because it is palace to be on land, and it must remain that made way. so what more official been saying shall, is listed above and released as the statement from matthew mid of the spikes best and the saying the us rejects recent statements from his right. the ministers does allow smoke church and if my been there advocating the reset some of the policies outside of garza, this rhetoric is an assignment tree and irresponsible. we've been told repeatedly and consistently by the government of israel and couldn't by the prime minister of such statements. don't reflect their policy if there's really a government they shouldn't stop in egypt, man. i mean, i don't know. i mean, it's a bit curious. so that's the state department decided to single out these 2 minutes is often called the most right when a member parties within the be is ready to go from and given that so many members of benjamin other knows positively looking for the benjamin that he got himself apparently last week and a closed door meeting with a good start and was talkin

this was stated by the spokesman state department matthew miller. according to him, washington's goal is to help kyiv develop its own military-industrial base, independently produce and purchase weapons. at the same time, the state department emphasized that since ukraine does not yet have such opportunities, an urgent decision by congress is needed. about allocation of funds. let me remind you that earlier the white house stated that they currently have no money for new military support for ukraine. slovakia will provide ukraine with humanitarian aid worth more than 200,000 euros. this was reported in the press service of the ministry internal affairs of the country. it was noted there that the weight of humanitarian aid will be 21 tons. the support package will include power generators, heaters, clothing and... first aid kits, as well as food, bottled water and clothing from the supplies of the minister of the interior of slovakia. he fed the occupiers in the temporarily occupied kherson region. the security service of ukraine exposed the owner of one of the largest agricultura

he explained the situation from the us state department in washington. the wednesday was the moment for the administration to have it spokespeople 1st time. they faced the precedence and in the new year to put themselves on the rack or to say they did not know who was responsible for the assassination in buried matthew miller. here at the state department, we have no assessment as to who was responsible, but we weren't informed of the funds. and then john covey at the white house national security council spokesman saying, we're not in a position to confirm a specific reports on how it happened to who is responsible. i basically don't have any great detail on who was responsible. no indication of israel was responsible. so they, we, i was all on the record, but then just in the last hour, we finally got a response from us central command, which is the, the, the military come on in charge of them, at least amongst other, among other regions. our news ask here in dc, it actually helps them over 24 hours ago. say would you have any information about the ass

see who's at the us state department in washington dc. see how the us has as well been sort of counseling is railing and making its own advice about what the situation should be in gauze off to the war. does this accord with, with any of that it may be element and so it's interesting. i mean, the most striking fault of this bullet point list is the idea of a multinational force led by the united states, which we know isn't something that's terribly keen on here in washington, not least because the us is a pretty terrible record of being an occupying power, particularly in the middle east, there was no stories like the 2nd day thing in early november, the negotiations were beginning all these discussions between the us and israel, about some sort of multinational force very quickly we had administration, officials say, but look for us will not be false, pos are about force, wouldn't actually supply troops to that, about 4. so i don't think that's going to go down to terribly well beyond that. as we had the us keep saying what we want some
