william burns many times. and many times mr. foreign minister of america, mr. blinken and other officials. traveling to the region and they tried to create the conditions for us to reach a ceasefire . there are protests, especially student protests , in addition to america, european countries. in the last hour, i was checking the news . obviously, there were many rallies and protests in the netherlands and austria. the police dealt with them.

now, how most indigo, she is leaving cairo and c, a head william burns. is on his way to costa trying to save what is there to be safe? it is difficult to bring a find a judgement or this is a fee. know the legal she has already the we continue, how much is already saying that their plan is to come back on tuesday to kind of us as a consultant who has an issue to continue negotiations. we don't know anything about these or 80 sites. the other indications was not present here in egypt because they were waiting what to reside this because uses we bring, we have no idea if these really that addition to my thing come on tuesday when i'm us is coming back. so it's all and it's about out of the open. but the, in this most, the biggest sticking point of course is, is the phone on you. so how much is asking for guarantees for a permanent ceasefire in either from the u. s. from the other mediators. but at the end, of course, they have to get this guarantee from is what it says and that they were asking for withdrawal from these really courses from because this tri

i think the fact that william burns, the head of the cia, is in cairo again, is potentially a positiveuse he, i think, is there to try and facilitate and iron out those last few details. but it's worth saying we've been in the last few months at this point before when when things are looking good, when the sides are looking like they might agree and things crumble at the last minute. so that hope is always, i think, always a cautious hope rather than than one without sort of thinking about what could happen and how close things can get before they fall at the final hurdle. and anna, what more can you tell us about these us media reports that israel has given hamas a week to agree to a proposal or it will begin its long threatened offensive in rafah? long threatened is absolutely right. the president, benjamin netanyahu, has been talking about the rafah offensive for months now. but even though we heard in the media several weeks ago that it had a date attached, that date has never been publicly confirmed. and there are questions really about whether or not that is a date or or whether,

cia director william burns is in the middle east as a key negotiator in the talks between israel and hamas. a source told cbs news he went to qatar for an emergency meeting with the country's leader and that the hamas delegation also traveled to qatar. there are also israeli media reports that burns could meet with the israeli prime minister later today. anne-marie? >> before i let you go, what can you tell us about the operation happening in rafah right now? >> reporter: well, it does seem like this momentum is building up. this is something that the israeli prime minister has said is going to happen despite the international community saying that it would put over a million palestinians' lives at risk. right now it seems like it is a smaller operation than a full-scale invasion into rafah. they're asking roughly 100,000 people to move up north to places like khan younis where they can get, as israel says, humanitarian aid. but this is a very difficult situation. there's a lot of fear that if israel goes in more palestinian civilians could be put at risk, and that's why we are seein

but again, the c r a does not talk about the travels of william burns, whether inside or outside of the united states. okay, thank you for that. russell and jordan is that for us in washington dc the united nations factory general and tony gutierrez, has called on both israel and how much to go the extra mile in order to secure a sci fi deal in garza, he voiced the concern that's an is riley military offensive in rasa could be imminent, judging for the protection of civilians. i made today a very strong appeal to the governments of israel. and so the sheep of the mos, in order to go next to the mines, who met to the allies in the agreement, that these episode with lead fights of these is an opportunity that cannot be released. and i got on the invasion in vasa would be keen foldable process because of its devastating humidity and consequences. and because of its this, that'd be lising impact. and so again, the reach still ahead on that house is there a tiny ching in east hmo? a basic health care facility is a being set up in the jungle id from s strikes until the foundation is deliberat

i, a director general william burns, who was in colorado. he's making an emergency trip to doha for a meeting with the country prime minister to try and salvage these talks, as well as well. sol as to gyptian website. that is suggesting there's still something to be something worth fighting for that might still be the opportunity for a deal, but he seems to be very, very delicately balanced. we know, of course, how much insisting on a full is right and then to the war and a full, his way, riley withdrawals. the palestinians couldn't return to their homes, particularly the north of gaza. and israel say, i'm just not going to happen. and then yahoo determined, he says, to destroy how much is capabilities to strike back at israel. netanyahu still hasn't got the senior leadership of how much yet. he's determined to go ahead. he says with an operation in rock but as of a truce, the short sci fi, but how much is being offered is all it seems these riley is willing to offer at the moment. okay, bernard standby, please. i want to come back to you in

i a director william burns from us as it is studying. the latest is really proposal in a positive manner, but sticking points for me, 5 palestinians have been killed by his really forces in a raid near to a car. i'm in the occupied westbank that lasted 15 hours. the palestinian red crescent says is really force has prevented medical crews from reaching the casualties is really force is also demolished the house and the town of darrow holsten. they say the palace thing, and fighter they accused of killing a soldier last year was inside that house saying this for avi reports on the right . the this is the result of modern is really urban warfare being brought to small town palestine. people living in this village say they've never seen anything of this intensity happen in this area before. what we're looking at is what's left of one of the larger buildings in this area. a multi family home is really forces arrived. they announced for women and children to leave, once those women and children left and went into surrounding neighbors, houses

so william burns is also that these railways have yet to send that again. it's not clear when that will happen. sticking points remain, as i'm asked, amone's israel ends the board, guys are permanently, that's something prime minister benjamin netanyahu. his government is refusing to do. and israel, the government says on the mounting pressure, thousands gather the intent of eve to attend the weekly antique government protests against israel's handling of the vote. according full, the prime minister to sign a deal with a mass to a ton kept as held in guns. i'm here today to support a deal now yesterday we need to bring them back. we need to bring all the hostages back. mean we gotta bring them back. we gotta government this gap and that's on yahoo! we called you to reach us east by a deal which like yours, the release of all captives, you'll take more time. so you and ben, cuz you can stay in power, you don't care about the 133 or 132 captives, an operation and rough uh will cause the death of the captive. you don't have mandate to kill 132 citizens of isra

delegation is holding tubes of mediators from egypt and capital, as well as the c i, a director william burns, says it's studying the latest is ready proposal in a positive amount of but sticking points to remain. israel wants to return to the captives being held in gaza. and how much is insisting on a permanent end to the war. what a safe spot is vital for gaza that you and want the north of the street is now experiencing a full blown stomach, a moving towards the south. and israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu was on the mounting pressure of the thousands of gavin and tele beep to attend what have become weekly unto government protests against his handling of the war. i'm here today to support a deal now yesterday we need to bring them back. we need to bring all the hostages back me and we got to bring them back. we got a question of government. and that's on yahoo! we called you to reach us east by a deal, which secures the release of all captives your taking more time. so you and ben via can stay in power. you don't care about the 133 or 132 captives on operation and rough. it will ca

there is now a report suggesting that the senior director william burns, who is essentially leading the us efforts to mediate these are negotiations between israel and thomas. there are reports suggesting that he may be on his way to doha, to meet with the prime minister and foreign minister of donny to talk about ways to keep the negotiations on track that has not yet been confirmed. we have reached out to the c. i a for confirmation of this travel, we also understand that us officials were feeling very positive that of some sort of agreement to have a ceasefire could be reached in the next several days. but again, there hasn't been any on the record or on background confirmation that these talks are still viable and that there's still the potential for a temporary cease fire. certainly we're trying to find out what the status of those talks is. yeah, absolutely. and the moment you hear anything, if you do, then you'll keep a surprise that's rosalyn jordan reporting from washington dc. thank you ross. the still ahead on else 0, heavy rains in southern brazil leave tens of thousands wit

now you have the director of the c i a william burns in contact. he is going to be heading off to israel for talks with the is really prime minister. this is just an indication of how the us is attempting to press all parties in these negotiations. to come to some full of agreement, there was no prior notice about the a c i direct to travel to the region. it basically became known when he appeared in casa, which is unusual because these visits are normally planned, a degree of time, a head. so this just indicates the extent to which the us is attempting to press all parties to come to some form of agreement, putting pressure on contact, to put pressure on her mazda, to come to an agreement. and at the same time, doing the same to israel. but in the case of israel, the biden administration throughout has been wary of being seen to impose public pressure on israel as the biden administration line. all the time has been that it will not prescribe to israel. it's foreign policy. so they walking that fine line between urgent as well to come to some form

is that c i a director william burns has landed in israel and that he will soon be meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin at yahoo. so are we going to be hearing more about this from israeli officials in the company hours? is this a topic that william burns is going to be bringing up with a prime minister netanyahu and others really officials. we just don't know right now. clearly we expect to hear something, but at the moment it's very much a holding pattern. okay, thank you. i'm how much i'm doing reporting from my mind once again, our correspondence is reporting from jordan because benjamin netanyahu, whose cabinet has bound down to 0. so that's why we're having to report from outside, off israel. but large number of is really police officers have been mobilized to enforce the demolition of about 50 homes in the negative region. and that has led to protests and the local better when community for lease prevented a palestinian is really a member of can assess from approaching the sites. palestinian is really m p. 's have criticized the government's move, calling for a solution a

it only became known when william burns actually appeared in doha for talks with the guitar, e prime minister from doha. he will be going to israel, where he will have talks with the is really prime minister. now this is just an indication of the concern within the biden administration about the hurdles it is trying to overcome in getting some form of sci fi agreement between the various parties. the by the end of the ministration has been putting pressure on a mouse via kata. and at the same time who's trying to put pressure on israel, in terms of getting to some kind of agreement with respect to israel, adobe bite and administration walking a fine line. it has given unqualified support to israel throughout this crisis. and it is well aware of the fact that it cannot be seen to be publicly prescribing to israel how it conducts its foreign policy. so although behind the scenes, the u. s. is no doubt pressing israel to come to some form of agreement. it will not be seen to be doing so publicly because it is concerned that it might have the opposite results. so the us in, in a bit of a

so william burns is also that these, right? these are yet to send their delegation. and it's not clear when that will happen. sticking points remain as homeless demands as well, and the war and guns are permanently. that's something prime minister benjamin netanyahu. his government is refusing to produce. and israel thousands of people, gavin and tell of eve to attend the weekly onto government protest against as well as handling of the will that coding for the 5 minutes to, to sign a deal with him. us and return captions held in gaza. meanwhile, pulse demands in kansas city. i'm wanting civilians killed in the latest wave of is ready bombings and attacking the outside to neighborhood. killed the mother and her 2 children at the baptist hospital. according to witnesses, the bomb hit while she was preparing a meal for her family, they were just sitting in their homes. they should have been safe and sound. as you can see, they were simply sitting here, there was no need to bomb them. all of a sudden rockets targeted them. look at those children. they are just kids for

and with c, i a director william burns, come us as it is studying. the latest is really proposal in a positive manner, but it's sticking points to remain. that was now here from my one to sharon. i was you were a senior political analyst here, his thoughts on a possible deal. one of the things we've learned in a long experience and media in academia is that when there are leaks, one has to look who's behind the lead on why the looking good. so also are leaking all the optimism are setting a, leading a sort of a strategy by optimism. meaning, you continued to push towards that there's good news coming in us, these fighters and then, and then if you are the united states and this time you would say was how much is to be at fault for finally, you know, breaking it's word or walking back it's what it's promising lessons. on the other hand, if there is really serious moment them and that's why different countries are something that technical themes to title. because now it's just a question of the details and i'm getting those are the way in order to fina

the ca director william burns is also that these right is that you have to send them delegation and it's not clear when that will happen. sticking points remain is how much demands israel and the war and guns are permanently in that something prime minister benjamin netanyahu is government is refusing to do. and then israel, the government is on the mounting pressure, thousands galban and tele v to attend the weekly anti government protest against as well as the handling of the war that calling for the prime minister to sign a deal with him. us unreturned captains held him gauze. i'm here today, that's the port a deal. now, yesterday we need to bring them back. we need to bring all the hostages. the deadline means we gotta bring him back. we gotta get to and that's on yahoo! we called you to reach us east by a deal, which secures the release of all captives will take you more time. so you and ben via can stay in power. you don't care about the 133 or 132 captives and operation and rough. it will cause the death of the captain. you don't have mandate to kill 132 citizens of israel. how do
