herzog: i don't buy it at all. the issue in the border of gaza was not the number of troops, but it was the element of surprise. i think my advice to everybody , this is not the time to politicize the discussion of war. john: mr. ambassador, thank you very much. amb. herzog: thank you very much. ♪ john: for more analysis on the war in israel, we're joined by shibley telhami, a senior fellow at the brookings institution's center for middle east policy and the anwar sadat professor for peace and development at the university of maryland. shibley, thanks so much for joining us. we begin with the wish and hope that your loved ones and family in the middle east are safe and well after yesterday. shibley: thank you. john: you and i have talked a lot in the past few years about how the palestinian-israeli conflict was a tinderbox, but this seemed to come out of nowhere. why now? why did hamas act now? shibley: that's a really good question. the surprise, honestly, is not why they acted now. the surprise is that they had s

werner herzog is director and writer. stories around the world, he now tells his own story in a new memoir. jeffrey brown spoke with him at his los angeles home, for our arts and culture series, canvas. jeffrey: in the 1982 film, “fitzcarraldo," a man is obsessed with building an opera house in the amazon jungle. at one point, his ship must be carried over a mountain. it's a famous scene in film history, shot without special effects, by director werner herzog, who decades later still sees it as a metaphor for how life must be lived. werner: all of us carry in us some sort of quest. and i think every grown up man or woman should do something like moving your ship over the mountain. it's absolutely natural. for you it would be something else. but you've got to do it. jeffrey: herzog, who would win the 1982 best director award at cannes for “fitzcarraldo," has been doing it his own way for more than five decades in some 70 films. dramas such as “aguirre, the wrath of god." >> it is as if the modern humans awakened here. jeff

and herzog's taken on plenty of risks himself to tell those stories.have an unknown alloy of metal in front of you, as a scientist, you would put it under extreme pressure, under extreme radiation, under extreme heat and then you would learn the inner nature of your metal in front of you. and maybe it's a little bit like that in my films and also in my writing. and i have had a hard, very difficult and very risky life. i have risked a lot, more than a filmmaker normally would risk. jeffrey: you mean physically, financially? werner: physically, always, always, everything. you just name it. and when we are gone, what will happen thousands of years from now in the future? will there be alien archaeologists from another planet trying to find out what we were doing at the south pole? jeffrey: he's also known for what can only be called being werner herzog, a voice. he narrates his documentaries, giving them even more of a dramatic and personal feel, and a personality he's cultivated and others have responded to. taking a turn as an actor, he played quite a

what is werner herzog's relationship with the truth?ened. so and some people are dazed and confused because i lived such a wild life. as if i had lived five lives so, but i sent the manuscript to my brothers, who are very critical, and they said, "yeah, okay, go ahead." and then people doubt you. did he move a ship over a mountain yes, i did, it's documented. did he hypnotize an entire cast? yes, i did, it's -- it's all in a way verifiable for example, there was doubt i staged an opera once in italy. and i wanted to have some stage work falling from high up and through the stage floor. and everybody's wondering what the hell happened here so -- and the theater wouldn't give me a stuntman so i tested the stunt myself from something like -- [ laughter ] something like 45 feet down into an air cushion and so people say i made it up no, i didn't there are a series of photos, i can show them to you whatever i was shot during an interview it sounds like, yes, he made it up no, it's caught on tape. it was a bbc interview so you better be caref

. >>> i want to turn to the israeli ambassador to the united states, michael herzog.hank you for being with us. i want to start with you about what we were discussing with nic. hearing booms and the firing of rockets from gaza into israel tonight, can you tell us anything about these attacks that are under way right now? >> so israel is under attack. yesterday hamas launched an unprovoked war against the state of israel firing over 4,000 rockets which is more than the fired in the ten days of the last round of war we had with them two years ago and sending hundreds of terrorists into israeli territory, butchering hundreds of israelis. official numbers are around 700. but the count goes on and we believe the numbers are going to be higher, including women, children, elderly, they kidnapped dozens of people, including a holocaust survivor. these are difficult times for us. we are at war. they're firing rockets at israeli civilian populated area including all of israel, basically. >> our reporting suggests that hamas is claiming they're targeting the airport. is that tru

israeli president isaac herzog, reaffirming his support for israel.th you and your nation. one of the israeli women abducted by hamas and now set free says she was hit and taken into a spider web of tunnels in gaza. shalom... shalom, shalom. as yocheved lifshitz was released by hamas, she shook hands with them and said in hebrew: peace, peace, peace. and gaza continues to reel from israel's bombadment. we're reporting from inside the territory and israel. we've just heard from an elderly israeli woman who was released from captivity by hamas — 16 days after being abducted from her home in a kibbutz in southern israel. yocheved lifshitz says a doctor saw her during her time in captivity, and the hostages were given medicine. she said she was taken into tunnels inside gaza — and described them as looking like a spider web.

herzog. there are no words, no words for the horror we saw. we were in china. i met with the israeli ambassador in beijing. she told me about a kibbutz, where they rounded up 100 people, herded them into the rec room from ages 880 to -- ages 80 to months, and machine gunned them all down. it reminded me what happened to my family when the nazis came into ukraine. same thing. they asked my great grandmother to put her whole family on the porch, 35 people, they machine gunned all of them down. so manufacture o-- so many of us understand this. it's seared in our memories. it's an awful, awful day. so we went to israel to share a message of resolute solidarity. america will stand with its ally israel and i, along with my colleagues here, will lead the effort in the senate to provide israel with the support required to fully defend itself if this monstrous attack. the purpose of our trip was three-fold. a, to show that the u.s. stands with israel. i've gotten calls since we've come back, israelis have been so gratified that they were there at a time of great need, a

herzog, made several statements at once, said that if hezbollah is dragging israel into war, then theluding lebanon, well, of course, separate words were devoted to those people who are now in custody, we demand the immediate release of all our abducted citizens , we have witnessed crimes against humanity, 30 children , mr. president, 30 children were abducted by hamas terrorists, the investigation is still ongoing, therefore the list of people who are now listed as captured in prisoners and at the moment there are 220 of them, just yesterday evening there were 222, but at night two more were released, now these women are 79, 85 years old, they have already talked with relatives, doctors have looked at them, they are all in hospitals avila, it is known that their friends remain. on october 7, they were captured in the miros tribunal, then they were kept for some time on israeli territory, only after that they were taken to gaza, it is also known that both women only have israeli citizenship, we are happy to help with them, they are in good health and in good condition, they excellent

earlier, mr sunak met israeli president isaac herzog and expressed personal condolences over the lossfe. he told the president that the uk stands in solidarity with israel — and backed its right to defend itself. mr sunak said they agreed on the importance of getting aid to ordinary palestinians in gaza and stressed the need to avoid futher escalation across the region. iam glad i am glad we have had the chance to talk. palestinians are victims of what hamas has done, and it is important that we continue to provide humanitarian access. i welcomed the announcement yesterday. we in the uk have announced further aid that we are prepared to bring into the region, and we are keen to see that that gets to those who need it to enable, as you say, when people have been asked to leave, to protect civilian life, which is the right thing to do, where we can support them, we want to do that. the fact you are here gives us a certain— the fact you are here gives us a certain sense of responsibility and a kind _ certain sense of responsibility and a kind of— certain sense of responsibility and a kin

herzog says israel must defend itself from this new threat. as any other country would. the associate press and sky news have not yet been able to independently verify president herzog's claims. well, as the fighting enters its third week, hamas has released two more hostages as the united states is urging israel to delay plans for any ground invasion. and that request comes as more humanitarian aid enters gaza through egypt. fox's madeline rivera reports now from jerusalem. another convoy of humanity aid crossed into gaza from egypt on monday. trucks have been distributing those supplies to shelters, housing thousands of displaced people. so far, israel has not allowed fuel to enter the region out of fear hamas could confiscate it for military purposes. israeli forces say they will escalate attacks on the militant group and once again urge civilians in gaza to move south, have a lot of the citizens from gaza city have already done that. for those who haven't done so, you are endangering your life. israel's military says troops took part in training exercises on monday t

the president isaac herzog.ould stand by israel in its darkest hours. the prime minister has been speaking to reporters , answering speaking to reporters, answering questions as to why he was in israel . israel. >> this important time. first and foremost, to express my solidarity with the israeli people after they suffered an absolutely horrific terrorist attack by hamas . i've had good, attack by hamas. i've had good, productive conversation with both prime minister netanyahu and the israeli president herzog . among other things, we discussed the importance of this conflict not escalating regionally and the importance of getting humanitarian aid into gaza to help people who need it . gaza to help people who need it. i also had the opportunity to meet families of british nationals who have been taken hostage. we are doing absolutely everything we can to get them home, and from here i'll be travelling to saudi arabia to build on the engagement that i've already had with readers , i've already had with readers, le

. >> carley: herzog is speaking right now and saying missing and murdered are from 36 different countries. let's listen in. >> mobilization to the army and huge amount of doing good to each other of helping each other in so many consequences and so many spheres of life. i encourage my people, bless the people of israel, we shall overcome and be victorious, we've always done so, it will take time, we shall overcome and we shall be victorious. i met the families of the hijacked and kidnapped citizens of israel. it was extremely tragic and painful. so many people live in reality of a nightmare, not knowing their whereabouts and the facts of their loved ones. each and every one of you could imagine that, you have met families. israel do what they can to bring them back home as soon as possible safely. but this requires an immediate call to the international community not to sit by and do whatever it takes to bring them back home immediately. as president of the state of israel, as i ask you all to tell the stories of the victims, i ask you all to remember because there is a short-sightedness

during his visit, he has also held a meeting with the president of israel, isaac herzog.hamas's attacks on israel. he said earlier: i saw some families have lost hilton, brothers, and some of the families waiting for hostages. these are hostages being held hostage by hamas in gaza. he earlier said: i do share your view, the first objective we have today asked me to speak to the israeli president, he said the objective is the release of hostages without distinction. this is an ongoing press conference between the president of france, emmanuel macron, and the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. he speaks french

but i also know, and president herzog has said that israel will take every precaution to avoid harmingbut we have to remember that it is hamas, the terrorist organisation that embeds itself in the civilian population, and they should be held accountable for that. a ground invasion isn'tjust risking civilian casualties in gaza. it risks sparking wider conflict around the middle east. so is defeating hamas worth it at all costs, even if that means wider regional conflict? hamas has perpetrated an absolutely barbaric act of terrorism. i'm sure many people will have seen scenes, seen the videos. they are horrific. they chill you. they certainly have done that to me. and everyone can see that they represent pure evil. and it's right that israel exercises its right to self—defense. it has notjust the right to protect its citizens, the duty to protect its citizens, and ensure that something like this can never happen again. it's important that the conflict doesn't escalate regionally. that's why i'm talking to as many people as i can across the region. i've already done that and i'll be able

i want you to listen to president isaac herzog with a press conference earlier today. >> this directly about civilians not aware, not involved, it's absolutely not true. they could have risen up, they could have fought against that evil regime that took over gaza in a takeover. reporter: there's women and children dead inside gaza as a result of the israeli response and it's a complex organization for the israelis and dozens of hostages and civilians and soldiers inside gaza and they'll do everything they can to clear a path and ultimately go in on the ground. i want to show you something else here. israeli forces say they found an isis flags in one of the communities along the border with gaza. we won't get too deep in the history of isis in gaza and traditionally hamas and the islamic state have not worked together. they've been enemies in gaza, and hamas pushed out islamic state fighters into egypt over the past several years and it's interesting that it appears they had this propaganda or even there's a possibility they participated in the attack. again, all we know is israeli forc

something i put to president herzog.? i am not measuring, god forbid, blood for blood. i'm not. and i think that's a wrong assumption because the family of nations... it's an accident? if the family of nations wants to operate, it has to fight this bitter enemy. let us look at the numbers. more than 8,000 dead and last night we heard nearly 70% are women and children. why have they had to pay the price? well, nobody wants them to pay the price. but they are. my heart goes out truly. truly my heart goes out. but when you deal with the right of self defence, what kind of self defence do i have when people went in to our territory? the rule that was set by our founding father david ben—gurion was first and foremost protect the nation. make sure that we are not threatened again. the president of israel, isaac herzog, speaking to me earlier. you can hear more of that interview on the bbc throughout the day. now it's back to jane in the studio in london with the rest of the day's news. thank you. the labour leader sir keir sta

according to herzog, the girl was brutally killed by hamas.at the murder of shanni luk has been confirmed. they found her skulls, which means these barbaric sadistic animals simply cut off her head. they tortured and killed israelis. this is a huge tragedy and my deepest condolences go out to her family. she was beautiful. component again plays the most important role, this is naturally understandable, and this directly affects the conduct of military operations that we are now seeing in some sectors from the israeli army. israel has obviously abandoned a full-scale offensive operation and this operation will go through numerous stages, which with one the parties will allow, hide yes for some time, those data on losses, which naturally at some point will have to be made public, which will become public knowledge, on the one hand, on the other hand, this will make it possible to hide some tactical failures of complexity that may arise there, again , yes, as part of the information war, they demonstrated the hoisting of the israeli flag over som

heard this somewhere many decades ago, someone... that’s what he said too, the point is that isaac herzog is to talk about anti-semitism, which they themselves provoke, i mean israel right now and mr. netanyahu personally, naming someone, a representative of the people who survived the holocaust, names someone, he did not personally say these, these words said galland, the minister of defense, but he did not apologize, did not clarify his speech, and especially netanyahu, not president herzog, did not pull him back or correct him. and then interesting things come from the entrance, just like hertsok, the president of israel, shakes this supposedly manual laminated about instructions for chemical weapons, it reminds me of colin paval, but he at least brought a test tube, then, but here you understand, well, they crossed the border with instructions for manufacturing, it often happens, a terrorist is coming, you look in his pocket, and there is a plan for creating chemical weapons forgot to post before the terrorist attack, that right now in the gas sector, look what a hell of a nightmare,

he's been meeting with president isaac herzog. have been released. 85 year old yocheved lifshitz and 79 year old nurit cooper were handed over at the rafah border crossing between gaza and egypt. hamas — which is proscribed as a terrorist group by the uk and many other western governments — said it released the women for humanitarian reasons. their husbands are among the 220 hostages still being held. the two hostages were handed over to representatives of the international committee of the red cross — at around 10pm local time monday night. it is our duty to fight against this terrorist groups. without any confusion, without, i would say, enlarging this conflict. and i share the warnings you passed. but, targeting clearly these terrorist groups, organising targeted operations, is a necessity. i want you to be sure. that we stand shoulder to shoulder with you and your nation, and we will do whatever we can to restore peace, security, and stability for your country and the whole region. messe macon said he thought releasing hostage

among israeli president herzog. importance of this conflict not escalating regionally and the importance of getting humanitarian aid into gaza to help people who need it. i also had the opportunity to meet families of british nationals who have been taken hostage. we're doing absolutely everything we can to get them home. >> the conflict has now killed almost 5000 people on both sides . it's into a 13th day. a warning some viewers may find the following images distressing. >> the gaza health ministry says more than 12,000 palestinians have been injured in israeli airstrikes and hundreds of thousands have fled their homes. >> the enclave remains under a total siege with food , water and total siege with food, water and electricity in very short supply. one charity has warned that the lack of access to water means gaza is a health crisis on the brink of explosion , where the brink of explosion, where families of children and teenagers held captive in the gaza strip have been holding a press conference in tel aviv . pr

president herzog has said that israel will take every precaution to avoid harming civilians but we haveorist organisation, that embeds itself in the civilian population and they should be held accountable for that. getting more on his visit to the middle east we speak to them in chromatic as in westminster. we were told this is a two date visit and way now and massey will travel to saudi arabia? haste way now and massey will travel to saudi arabia?— saudi arabia? we also potentially know he will _ saudi arabia? we also potentially know he will go _ saudi arabia? we also potentially know he will go on _ saudi arabia? we also potentially know he will go on to _ saudi arabia? we also potentially know he will go on to other- saudi arabia? we also potentially i know he will go on to other places, no details on that yet, those prices could be announced but at the moment is, you have this visit in israel where you see the symbolism right to the four. importantly for israel you see the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu trying to situate this in the narrative that he wants which is that

in any case, nothing was said publicly, but israeli president herzog told macron that right now therechildren. let's listen to the words that have been spoken. we are closely monitoring the situation in lebanon, because hezbollah is playing with fire and i believe that the iranian evil empire, which controls this group, is destabilizing the middle east and the entire region, is also playing with fire, i say frankly, we are not looking for confrontation on our borders , neither in the north nor anywhere else. but if hezbollah drags us into war, lebanon will pay the price. lebanon cannot be a sovereign member of the international community, with citizens holding a lebanese passport, when from the territory of their country. and finally, mr. president, we are extremely concerned about the growth of anti-semitism in the world, in particular in your country. i came here to express my solidarity, i want to assure you that you are not alone in this war against terrorism, today i am here speaking on behalf of a state that itself has been subject to terrorist attacks, and you have always been
