among them the parents of hersh goldberg-polin. his mom rachel spoke today. >> families have lived the last 39 days in slow motion torment. for 38 nights, none of us have slept the real sleep of the before. we all have third-degree burns on our souls. our hearts are bruised and seeping with misery. but the real souls suffering are those of the hostages. why is the world accepting that 240 human beings from almost 30 countries have been stolen and buried alive? >> hersh goldberg-polin, her son is 23 years old. that's him. he was attending the nova music festival with his friend honor shapira when hamas attacked. honor was killed inside that bomb shelter. hersh was shown in video we've shown before, which we should warn you is graphic. part of hersh's left arm was blown off by a grenade, thrown into a bomb shelter where he and as many as 28 other people were hiding. he was then loaded into the back of a pickup truck and is presumed to now be a hostage in gaza. well, we've since obtained new video of what happened outside that bomb sh

and we have stayed on the story of that young son, hersh goldberg polin, his parents telling me about those last two text messages from their son. tonight, terry moran with hersh's family in washington, and with the families of the other americans still being held. >>> also tonight, the breaking news, 24 hours after our team reported from inside gaza, near multiple hospitals, tonight, the white house now revealing u.s. intelligence confirms israel's claims about hamas using hospitals and the tunnels beneath them as a base of operations. and what abc news has now learned tonight, that inside those tunnels, a senior administration official tells hundreds of hamas fighters with communications and traps. what the intelligence shows. matt gutman standing by in israel. >>> here in the u.s. tonight, the deadly collision on i-70 in ohio. a semitruck crashing into a bus with students onboard. at least six people killed, more than a dozen injured. alex presha in ohio. >>> the ugly day on capitol hill. even with that potential government shutdown just days away. the focus for much of this day wa

but we don't even know if hersh is alive. so, having medical aid get to the people who need it would be really, really encouraging for us. we've got letters from surgeons about what exactly it is that hersh needs, what kind of medications he needs to fight off infections. we're hoping to get those to the icrc, and we're hoping the icrc is able to get in and get treatment to hersh and all the other hostages who need it. >> you talk about the frustration with having a lack of information. you and rachel have been going through so much trying to find out something, anything, about your son for the last 47 days. have israeli or u.s. authorities given you any update on what they're doing to try to locate your son? >> so, we know that there are a lot of efforts underway by both the israelis and the u.s. we feel a sense of support, but that support has not fed into us getting information. i do think that to the extent maybe somebody has information, they're guarding it for security reasons. but regardless, it's been super frustratin

and terry, i'm so glad you met up with hersh's parents again, they are so incredibly strong, like allf these families, and i know you're learning tonight that the families of the american has tanostages, includ hersh's parents will meet with the biden administration's topn? >> reporter: david, that meeting will take place tomorrow, and as you say, hersh's parents will be there. they told me today they are still not getting any information about their son, hersh, and yet they still have hope, as you could sense there. we can also report that secret talks about this hostage situation have been going on for weeks with hamas demanding there should be a days-long cease-fire in exchange for the release of any captives, and israel saying there will be no deal at all unless dozens of their citizens are allowed to come home. david? >> david: terry moran leading us off tonight from washington. terry, thank you. >>> there is also news coming in tonight from u.s. authorities on hamas. operating beneath hospitals in gaza. and what the u.s. now believes hamas is doing in those tunnels right now. to

hersh goldberg is one of them. the 23-year-old taken hostage during that festival massacre on october 7th. this is one of the last known images of hersh, taking shelter in a bunker, his arm badly wounded before he was taken. hersh's mother rachel telling david -- >> there were two messages in a row at 8:11. the first one said, "i love you." and the second one said, "i'm sorry." so i immediately knew something terrible had happened. >> david: and those two words, i'm sorry -- >> and i keep saying, it's okay. >> reporter: 54 days after he disappeared, we checked in with hersh's parents. rachel taping that number, 54, on her shirt. >> our heart, our soul, is so bruised, and you know when you have a bruise, the thing that hurts most is when you hit that bruise again. so every morning, having to tear off a new piece of tape and make the number increase, it just is like increasing that wound that's in my heart. >> reporter: are u.s. officials telling you anything? >> u.s. officials from day one have been super supportive

have you gained any more -- did anybody else have any interaction with hersh? >> it's interesting timing on that question because first of all, we visit regularly with our friends, parents of -- who is hersh's very close friend who died in the shelter. >> who tossed back -- >> his heroism just becomes more and more clear as time goes on. we were visiting with them yesterday, and three of the survivors of the bomb shelter came over to meet anare's parents and basically to thank them on behalf of anare for saving their lives. we were there for the meeting, and it was, as you can imagine, quite emotional. and then there are thousands and thousands of stories of the day, october 7th, and how people experienced it and are interwoven. i was at a meeting last night and i walked out and some young woman came over to me and introduced herself and said, my best friend was in the shelter with your son. and she was killed. we want you to know that i'm so following this story and so pulling for hersh. i need people to just survive from that bomb shelter. and it's just these

i quickly showed him the video of hersh getting loaded onto the pickup truck with his arm amputated.did the pope react to that? >> he put his hand on his heart and he spoke in italian, which a lovely priest translated into english for me saying his heart is with me and breaks for me and that he was going to try to do everything that he could to help all of us have our loved ones returned. >> reporter: now, here in rome with rachel goldberg is her husband and hersh's father john poland. i asked both of them about this hostage release that we're all expecting in the next 24 hours, and they said even if hersh is not part of it, and they certainly hope that he will be, what they are very excited about is the fact that the international red cross will be able to go in and see all. other hostages and if hersh is still in captivity, they will actually have some word about his fate because it has been 47 days, jose, since they heard from his -- from their son. they got two text messages the morning he was abducted. they've seen that video, but since then they don't know if he's in pain. they

hersh is a really curious guy.the opening that, as a kid, as a 7-year-old, he could recite every fact about every u.s. president. what years they served, vice presidents, et cetera. later, he moved to a different category, which was geography. he could name every world capital and population of every country, the language and the flag. he's always been a curious guy. as a kid, he was an avid reader of "national geographic," the adult version. a fun-loving guy. everybody around hersh likes hersh. our friends gravitate to him. little kids gravitate to him. but i say, he is not the kind of guy who walks in a room and is obviously a presence right away, but within 15 minutes of being in the room, he's gotten around and has gotten people in the room to know him and like him. the evidence is, we've been hearing from people literally around the world who hersh has met in his travels. he got to spend this past summer going from music festival to music festival in six different countries. we hear from people in countries ev

what is your blessing for hersh? >> well, just the standard blessing that in jewish tradition parents zbuf their child. we will continue to do that. rachel goes out on to the balcony and screams it to the skies and we will do that again in a few hours. our blessing beyond that one is, you know, rachel's mantra has been i love you, stay strong, survive, which she says throughout the day to hersh and to herself. i continue to say that i know that he is really strong in character, really tough mentally, and i know he is going to need or has needed for 49 days every ounce of that strength and i'm praying that he is continuing to find the strength to keep persevering through this. as soon as he gets home, we will take care of him physically, mentally, we will get him every bit of help he needs. but we just hope that he is staying strong in there and that he perseveres to get home to us. >> you are both really remarkable. hersh is very lucky to have you. thank you for being us with today. >> thank you. >> thank you for hav

anne was talking earlier about how the pope looked at a video of hersh and what had happened to him withyou just heard from abbey onn, the excruciating situation for her family, having lost two people. still waiting to see what will happen with the other three. when you hear the pope saying this is not war, this is terrorism, i wonder, do you think that it reflects in some ways the moral problem and the challenge for benjamin netanyahu, which is many people who support israel are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the result of the way israel is prosecuting this war? >> you know, everyone who is looking at this cannot help but be moved by it. these are real people who are suffering on both sides. what we saw on october 7th was a level of human depravity that you don't even typically see in war. there is a distinction, obviously, the israelis don't deliberately set out to kill civilians, whereas we've seen hamas does that not only toward the israelis. they make their own population human shields. having said that, you can't ignore what the cost is for the palestinians. it reminds us

their 23-year-old son hersh, seen here hiding from hamas. witnesses say he was loaded into a pickup truck, his left arm missing. >> i feel like kidnapped is not the right word it's so much worse thanthat. when our son is dancing at a music festival, has his arm ploen blown off and is taken all of us together, our children, our loved ones, our american citizens who were wrongfully taken from where they, were and for 39 days have been somewhere in gaza >> reporter: their kidnapped loved ones are neighbors, mothers and fathers, even a 3-year-old girl. >> my name is liz hersh naf talley, and i am the grandaunt of abigail and she's 3 years old, and she was abducted from the kibbutz after her parents were killed. >> reporter: abigail saw her mother killed, then her father too. >> as they ran, a terrorist shot him and killed him and he fell onto abigail >> reporter: abigail's 6 and 10-year-old siblings somehow got away they saw her hiding under their dad, and then. >> abigail had crawled out from under her father's body. and full of his blood went

i think seymour hersh has exposed it. i think russia knows it very well, and it will only add to the overall evidence and conclusion that indeed the united states and the united states. c. i a in jo, biden's presidency and norway. we're all involved in the ukrainian uh, hacks. the ukranian scape goats are simply being used to create a dis, a distance thing of the distant entanglement operation. so the us can create distance and blame this on someone else. remember, the west, the war with ukraine fighting? russia is coming to an end. russia's already won, ukraine's already lost, so that means they now need to cut her eyes the ends they need to tie off these ends and, and stop the bleeding. and that means they need to find skate goats. so roman jervis and ski is a scape goat. i believe, of course they're, the core strategy is a shell game. always remember the us does a shell game, adding so many names and so many connections and so much confusion that you don't know which shell to keep your eyes on. but the bottom line is t

moreover, washington is simply not able to influence israel in any way , the american journalist seymour hershsure of this. according to the publicist, the reason is that in in the white house itself today, a power vacuum has formed; no one is in control of the process, and they are only busy trying to achieve re-election. the latvian media is sounding the alarm; local companies continue to purchase products from belarus and russia. according to the border control department of the food and veterinary service , 68 enterprises have received food products from our countries over the past 3 months. in total , almost 2,000 tons of food products were imported into latvia. vegetables are the most abundant, followed by grains in second place. seeds, salt, sugar and others products. at the same time, most of the companies claim that they provide, to one degree or another, transit services for belarusian and russian food, and the ministry of agriculture of latvia, although condemns trade with us, does not plan to limit it, since food imports are not subject to eu sanctions. from food products to the cr

one of them is a 23-year-old israeli american, named hersh goldberg. he was attending the nova music festival, when hamas attacked on not over seventh he was last seen being loaded into the back of a pick up truck and is presumed to be in gaza. bespoke parents spoke with anderson coop, and how they've gotten through the past 26 days not knowing if their son's condition, or where he is. >> it's a different dimension it's a different type of time. >> it's an indescribable, the the dame see long, and when we look back and think of everything we've done in a day, cause we're constantly throwing darts in every direction trying every angle, or strategy that we can think of. and talking to everyone we can. and -- >> i want to add, i'm used to working with a plan. a daily plan. either we hit the, plans are we fall behind. or we get ahead, but there are milestones. we know how we are doing, part of the torture of these 26 days, is we work all day every day around the clock. and still when we lay our hands on the pillow, for a few hours. at night. i don't know i

he took hersh goldberg, he's an american citizen. he has his hand amputated.ersh, he's not my son's friend but i know him because of this. he also was taken. with my son. that was the last time i heard from him. his friend, two of his friends were killed that day because what happened was after hamas took my son and these two others they went inside and started to kill everyone. so only seven survived. i'm austin no seven survived because there were so many people killed. they started to go on top of each other, each one was killed. and the people underneath that survived, somehow, they played dead. so one of them was my son's friend who played dead and waited six hours with the others, hoping that somebody would come. hoping that something would happen. >> reporter: he waited six hours, here you are waiting seven weeks. to hear some words about your son and you haven't heard anything yet, yet we are waiting, we're waiting for the list to come out day in and day out. we're waiting here, you, know in the safety of a studio and you're waiting as a mother, trying

my name is rachel and this is my son hersh goldberg, poland. he's my only son. he turned 23 on october 3rd and went to the music festival with his best friend from childhood to celebrate. when the massacre started on saturday morning, he and his friend and a bunch of other young people from that festival hid in a roadside bomb shelter, which came under attack. first time us threw in hand grenades, then they fired in the r p g. and then they sprayed the room with machine gun fire . most of those young kids were dead. but some of the lucky ones were trapped under the dead bodies. and they told us what they saw. person 2 other young men were wounded, but alive and how most came in and told them to stand up and come outside. when her stood up, they all told us that his left arm had been blown off from the elbow down. we have since seen a video that we have of him, and these 2 other boys being marched out of the bomb shelter and put onto a mazda pickup truck, which then headed toward garza, his last phone cell signal was at 10, 25 in the morning. october 7th, and tha

hersh had been sheltering with dozens of others at the music festival when the gunmen attacked. >> i personally feel like we have to keep running to the end of the earth to save him. and there are also the moments in this universe that we now live where you say, maybe he died on the truck. maybe he bled out in that truck. maybe he died yesterday. maybe he died five minutes ago. >> reporter: this is what american israeli citizens judith weinstein hagi and her husband gadi hagi saw as their son moved across the border from gaza to israel. judith, who is 70, and gadi, 72, were on their regular morning walk when the attack began. her parents were about a mile and a half from their home in a cub kibbutz. their daughter said their parents tried to call for help. >> my mom is 70 years old. you know? why would they kidnap a 70-year-old? >> reporter: their daughter told cnn a paramedic said her mom told him they'd been shot by terrorists on a motorcycle. the daughter also confirmed her parents' phones last pinged from gaza. >> reporter: who is serving a good idea is also believed to be a host

hersh was seen in a video shown before, which we have shown is graphic. you can see part of his left arm has been blown off by a grenade. several of which were thrown by hamas gunman into the bomb shelter where he and as many as 28 other people were hiding. he was unloaded into the back of a pick up truck and is presumed to be hostage in gaza. we have since obtained a new video of what happened outside that bomb shelter. evidence of his friends remarkable heroes among the last moments of his life. in it will see her mask in one tossing one grenada after another into the bomb shelter which, i said, as many as 29 people, including hirsch and honor were trying to hide. somebody was throwing grenades back out for. each canadian was tossed in, one person was throwing it was tossing back out. the person saying those throwing the grenade out was honor shapiro. take a look. >> [sound of artillery] [sound of artillery] >> we all wonder what we would do in a situation like that. 29 people that small little room. would we meet the person who's standing the doorway,

american rachael goldberg's 23 year old son hersh was captured october 7th. a number of days he's been gone taped to her chest. >> i actually said to him, my heart was taken 47 days ago and i will wear the number on my heart until my heart comes back. >> she brought her picture of hersh and show the pulp video of his capture. his lower left arm blown off by a grenade. how did the pope react to that? >> he put his hand on his heart and he spoke in a tally in and said his heart is with me. >> rachel and her husband jon poland says today's hostage agreement gives them hope even if their son isn't freed, because the red cross will finally be allowed to see him. the palestinians say the pope listen to them about their plight. >> he can ask for an immediate cease fire but, this is not what the only thing that we ask for. we ask him to use his power for more just and long lasting peace. >> as we wait for humanitarian pause to begin, we should know that so far just five, only five of the more than 200 hostages have been freed. first i wanna turn to nbc news correspon

hersh noted that the version of ukraine’s involvement raises many questions, but the cia legend, which spread by the american press and german intelligence, is needed in order to divert suspicion from the states. explosions on the russian export gas pipelines nord stream and nord stream 2 occurred on september 26, 2020. a new military base for training a rifle battalion named after sheikh mansur was opened in godarmes. the first formation of personnel, about 300 people, has already taken place, and training and combat skills training are ahead. already, in a month the battalion will go to the svo zone, from the chechen republic, reporting by artur mustaev. the sheikh mansur battalion was formed in a record-breakingly short period of time when applying for service in the new unit of the ministry of defense. not only from the residents of chechnya, but also from other regions of russia; all conditions have been created here for the effective solution of problems. the fighters are equipped with modern ammunition, ballistic helmets with headsets, tactical glasses and walkie-talkies, improv

and we since also have a video that shows the actual abduction, so we saw hersh bleeding and with thelive. >> we don't know that we know he was alive 9:00 a.m. on october 7th, being put on a pickup truck. since that time we don't know if he is alive. if he is, we don't know if he got medical treatment that he needed. we don't know where he is. we don't know with whom. we don't know anything. >> ainsley: gosh, you have been through so much. i'm a parent. most of you are, too. i don't know how you are dealing with this. tell us about your trip to america. it's important to be here. why? >> we have been since the afternoon of october 7th, talking to anybody who we think could be helpful to get these hostages out, including, obviously, hersh. that includes anybody can we speak to in the u.s. government it. includes foreign government. we are here because there is first of all a big rally in washington on tuesday afternoon in support of getting these hostages released, among other issues. and we are here for meetings with several elected officials who are hoping can help us. >> ainsley: wh

, is obviously just a matter of time, today there are already recognized thinkers, such as tseymur hersh, who say that the war has already been lost for ukraine, russia has won, i would not go that far yet, but from current developments of events, quite clear conclusions can be drawn, and not... quite obvious to anyone who understands even a little about military operations and strategy, but unfortunately, our federal government has almost completely lost the ability to conduct forward-looking security policy and make strategically sound decisions, a rethink is required and i hope that this rethink ... will begin first of all in our media, because this in turn will be able to influence our government, clear and at the same time peaceful words. mr. general, i would like to express my deep gratitude, thank you for sharing with us your experience accumulated over many decades, this, of course, will allow many to look at the situation differently, information about which they only receive from the media, which creates an illusory picture, thank you very much thank you, all the best, all thos

journalist seymour hersh, citing sources in the us government, claims that israeli prime minister benjaminyahu refused the hostage deal. the american demand provided for the release of more than seventy prisoners, but in return hamas insisted on a cessation of hostilities, which was unacceptable to netanyahu. five countries - bangladesh, bolivia, djibouti, comoros and south africa - have asked the prosecutor of the international criminal court to investigate the situation. another batch of humanitarian aid for the population gas sector: the plane brought mattresses, pillows, personal hygiene products, food and baby food. all this will be handed over to representatives of the egyptian red crescent society, and they will then deliver it to the civilians of the palestinian enclave. the air bridge for the delivery of humanitarian aid was organized at the direction of president vladimir putin on behalf of the head of the ministry of emergency situations alexander kurenkov. almost 200 military personnel of sports companies took the military oath today. ceremonies took place in moscow, st. peters

situation develops in a positive direction for ukraine, for the whole world, only the difference is that hersh and shuster, they can write emotions, the essence of which is that how to evaluate it, a world war, a local war, and so on, what will happen to the american voter, the ukrainian voter, general zaluzhny, general zabrodsky, they have no right, because they not politicians for this, they... give a clear scientific basis, an assessment of the situation, like military men, like generals. in whose hands are the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands and tens of millions of civilians, ah, so first, as a general summary of this article, the main epicenter of today's attention should be on the comparison of the article by zabrodskyi, a year ago, and the current article, and understanding what may be in force, and here antina, i do not find words to describe the actions in the congress of the united states of america, in the information space of ukraine, in the actions of the current ukrainian officials , because for me, here we were having dinner, in the conditions w
