6:04 pm
always because is a truly is more than once. but then we understand where the thing is, in spite of the shortage of the admissions that need because it's possible to the foil and the cause of the closure of nicholas gates when we are completing the muscle v short. daniel, these communications, these really minute disclosure of called crossings into god's that means lit late can get in the us as it was able to deliver some through its new floating pit. but that's far from enough for 2000000 palestinians trapped in the strip. and to continue spring bought. some of them jobby houses there. well, let's be 12 correspondent the honeymoon, which he joins us now from there all by law. he's outside the city's main health center. the i locks the hospital there for us. i mean, i want to start with what's going on in jamalia right now. this heavy offensive. we've been saying for days both with tanks on the ground and buttons from the how
6:05 pm
people that holding up of the the as well as positive for the past 6 days. the situation is i've been in quite intense and keep evolving into much more complexity. something that is very contradictory to what does really military announce within the past few months that it has eliminated the infrastructure and associates of palestinian finding grooves under ground. what we're seeing now looks much similar to the initial weeks of the war, where do, where there were relentless attacks that include along with the ground incursion, with much more of on the force is on the ground occupying is really forces on the graph, push and deeper into the center part of the refugee count. that's right. your body, or you can buy the torres site for relentless attacks that was attacked repeatedly at the initial weeks of this war. and the vast majority of it's the residential boat is getting tired, residential blocks were destroyed. and what's going on for the past 6 weeks is
6:06 pm
really military push. deeper defense or part of the refugee camp did separate, dividing into 2 main parts. one part is under complete military, a control where evacuation centers happens to be at that location. their reports still hundreds of displaced families inside these evacuation centers under military disease. they haven't been and they haven't received any kind of food supports or necessity as there is really military is in circling these areas. those who manage to evacuate it from these centers before. there's really military and it's tanks and armored vehicles approach. the area where it chased by what the top there was an attack of drugs all the way outside of the refuge account to the western part of the city of civil defense. a crew on the ground reported collect any close to 96 bodies of from the street. there is the fear of more of them inside a the bomb homes and the eastern part of refuge account at the center. there's also
6:07 pm
the fear of more people who are dying because is of the in for is the hydration right now in a star vision has no food supplies being allowed inside. there's also the deliberate attacks on, on these evacuation centers increasing the rascal for their civilian casualties at these sites as well as the enforce displaced then just as the time of this record we were preparing, we got a report confirming of relentless ears. try said the center part of the refuge account is really military. it keeps carrying out these rate a tax related to sleep as well as keep pushing people for more or more in force displacement within the northern part or outside the northern part. everything we've seen so far just feeds into one conclusion. these really military is a quite adamant in making the northern partner and gauze. is it quite uninhabitable inhabitable, by eliminating old social services or means of life, the destruction of hospitals and schools, but also creating very difficult conditions for people to bear on the ground?
6:08 pm
honey, you mentioned attacks on evacuation incentive. all people still not pouring into darrell by the way you are in the central part of the strip, even given the strikes on what is supposed to be safe space has that as we've been hearing about. and so it's almost report of the the as well as the genocide they'll act is still going on in the ground, including the in force displacement of 1000, of people, of from rough city all the way to the central area, particularly to dinner. but off now. but just to put our, give our viewers some context here. how do you and is when does really military lift the state of hon. you and it's a pretty much lift, an area that is more like the waste land. people have no access to any of the basic supplies or necessities. no food supplies, no necessity. just for is the vast majority of han you and it's residential. already evacuated to the central area at setting up their tents in the streets or every area that they were able to do that now more people because of the ongoing
6:09 pm
and intensifying of tax and revenue city destination. according to united nation, 630000 people have already if force it to leave the roof, i hold the weight that there is velocity here. the city is overcrowded, as it has already run out of space and facilities that infrastructure. people literally come to an area that doesn't have any access or do basic necessities. it lacks the resources it lacked. the infrastructure. one major uh facility here that is low and that is locked at a major level. is waters force here. people do not have access to water stores at a regular level. the have to make these journeys every single day about how about it. 5 to 6 kilometers to the western part of the central area in near a destination to plan just to get some water. and you can think of other necessities that are not available now with the talks about the peer being open and no operating for, for 8 to be delivered. as of this moment to the time of this report of preparation,
6:10 pm
no aid has been reported entering the gauze district for the past 13 days. and that's the fear of the spread of famine that has already spread in the northern part, there is a few right now according to united nation that is going to spread here in the southern part where the vast majority of displaced families are residing in the one today with a very nice us for us from the ground, from general bala and the central part of the gaza strip. thank you, honey. the whole turning to the hague and the netherlands away. israel has again rejected accusations, but it's carrying else, genocide and garza but noise. israel have told the international court of justice. it has the right to move ahead with a full scale offensive on rough or to defend itself against time. us on thursday, south africa off the court, ordered israel to stump. it's offensive on the city saying it's violating the genocide convention. so if i pick up the parts to describe the rough or the last to
6:11 pm
refute for civilians and guys, while many civilians have indeed evacuated to rough over the past few months. the fact remains that the safety of for us also serves as the military, strong, cold, full hum us, which continues to pose a significant threat to the state of israel and its citizens of correspondents at boston, or what's not from the hague, a doing a one and a half hour presentation here read the highest un court. israel's main argument was that there is human to terry and age going to of alpha. and that the accusation south africa brought to the course were false. that there was a bro cage of humanitarian aid. they set the border crossings in gaza are not closed as south africa headset, but they are still open and when they were closed, as well as because how much was attacking them. also, south africa has a accusations that the of alpha is the last refuge for civilians in gaza. according
6:12 pm
to his role is not true, they said about is instead also a stronghold of how much and that's why the military operation, according to them, needs to continue. and of course of africa has asked the court on thursday to order israel to stop this military operation. saying this is part of an ends game that israel has in mind to wipe the palestinians in garza from the map of once and for all of a very urgent requests of from south africa. because in january, the court had decided not to, to ask and not to order israel to stop its military operations. and so therefore, it has had asked the court the same thing. now south africa assess, the situation has changed. it has very deteriorated, so it is urgent request has now been brought to the court again. and we hope to hear in a few weeks the decision by the 16 charges on this very urgent request. step class
6:13 pm
and l. just a rough fake. israel accused south africa of operating on behalf of him us. so if i pick up the courts to come before you get again as the guardian of humanity. in fact, it has a clear anterior motive. we need to ask you to order is ready to stay away from where i fall into with 0 or the troops from doesn't as it does so, in order to obtain military advantage for his spotlight from us, which he does not wish to see the feet. it's so mean the miller has worn out for us from johannesburg. south africa has responded to as well as arguments at the international court of justice way as well a choose. so the africa of acting as an ally of a mos acting on behalf of the organizations that africa has said that is completely false. the international relations department, it's direct to general st on goal,
6:14 pm
has said that. so that because intention at the core to is to bring to the full t international crimes and, and it's arguments on thursday. it pointed to various evidence including the discovery of mass graves and gaza. the attack on hospitals and other health facilities, as well as the number of people that have continued to be killed since it last appeared before the icy j saying the situation day is worsening and calling it a genocidal campaign. and also of africa has maintained the stones since it 1st appeared at the icy j, saying that this is a human rights issue. and this is a position that to some extent has been supported by human rights watch. and amnesty international with those organizations talk about the difficulty in a, getting into gaza and the difficulties people are experiencing the compromised position they're in and how their lives are threatened by extension extension. and
6:15 pm
now the south africa, again has denied the accusations of by israel and as said that the international court of justice should use its position to bring an end to monitor your operations in gaza. and we de la ultra 0 to his book. hello. joining me now is the time i come here to you as an assistant professor of public policy at the doha institute for graduate studies. some of the rest of it we're hearing from israel as present would be no surprise. but how is it likely is a go of a, at the quote itself, given what we've already had from the i c j a. the says, yeah, i mean, it is an important step taken by south africa and the fact that these are and as they're starting to defend it, since, as it is, i mean, all eyes then to the i said, you know, i mean, so that the national, just the system is under huge pressure and it has to delivered on this to deliver in a just we don't objectively. i mean, i'm just reading through the that there is
6:16 pm
a, a u n. d bait. and there's another security council on the southern. it's a crime and it's both on by jumping the other one to jeremy, the same country which has been a strong supporter is what it in this war is going back in the past to look at some notes. so which is a kind of also, so the national on justice system is at the great the, it's a good the can stage know. and we want and integrated into national just as a simple, but it's not just isolate, i suggest, but important. it has been cooperating and, and it will continue doing whatever it needs to do. but also the icbc has been sol episodes in this process. international criminal court. the prosecutor cutting con, he's, he disappeared from the scene unfolding. yeah. i wonder if there is a way, i mean, why is the national just the system is so the, the distant, the greeted like this? so what dyson, she is doing its work, dyson, she is upset, does die. so she has that name and date. but what i'd like to see to cut it on and
6:17 pm
an independent investigation regardless of it, because it's not always use that, that the, the argument that it's hard to establish the tools or the facts at the same time it denies any international investigation into the gaza. strip a so on that you and also these are also kind of like this, what goes all the, all you on the thoughts. we all know that the ones that has a presence in gaza that on to national stuff in gaza. but they have no mandate to collect data to investigate. so again, and back to looking at the big picture, nothing, nothing just the system of justice. how does it function and where should i go? i think that's a big debate for humanity to, to look at ways speak about this as if it's a test of international law. people have also spoken about what's happening now in gaza as a test of the board, the international system itself, the international order that we've, we've come to know what's your assessment of how it's holding up. i'm, i'm, uh, i'm really want it because, i mean, i mean, the international system that was,
6:18 pm
it's, it's, i mean it's, it's legitimate, it's being gold it now, if, if it does not, i mean, for support for offending to stop. this must go, which has been ongoing for 7 months now, and they are going to these, if it fails to take any concrete steps and it continues to be part of the size but, but at the size of every corner, then it's gonna collapse eventually. then the world within duncan, when it comes to international justice and we want this, i mean, i mean, there was nothing in the easy stage now giving the, i mean, the global, the tension between the big follows was the conflict, the new clean. now, does that africa is, is sort of complex. so if, if the system lose as it's legitimate at this point, many companies will suffer growing from this in organization, financial organizations. i don't want to stop corner collaborating with the signal to signals of anything, just space for them to have more. so some institutions have taken action. we know the i c, j has issued these provisional measures. i'm curious about what you think is happening and rougher, right?
6:19 pm
now and, and how that fits within the context of the provisional measures that have been issued by the colt. it's a perfectly sits, i mean the because the what, what the, what has been, what we have been what this thing is, is it a totally disregarding the origin of the provisions which, which was built in the 1st case when i went south african levine and now sufficient to skip the good thing for some or so, i mean, so basically for this thing is that what often has been the last if you wish, for civilians and off the roof, there is no way for them to board some sort of moss, which has said the limits of capacity to observe this a huge number of people and it's already massively crowned. we can see correct. so, and also is what is the control of that? i will have them know on the boat is between egypt and here's what i know. and what does that mean in full control? you can expect the worse because it's a, it's, it's, it's a, it's a crazy like to think that the government, nothing how it was that it was kind of the americans have home. so many times that's if nothing the, they are not in control, i mean they're just income families mode. so what steps to learn from doing,
6:20 pm
going forward is that even explaining for the students to use it. but this is why they do because i'm nervous and you mentioned the americans. i've been wondering what the, the legal stage of play is full countries who continue supporting israel like the us, as it continues to ignore the provisional measures that have been issued by the court . we're talking about the genocide convention. i think this will take me think seriously and because the car now literally that i thought on the crime, i mean, we have seen um, i forgot which country went up to germany as well. so there is another case by the a c, j. but now that the national just the system is being examined. now, by so many countries from the global south going it as an, as a main address if it fails to deliver. this will sit and then a new stage of it always, you know, for the lesson, the zip to see of you. i'm being much of an ice and things will just get worse. time i come here, it's always great to have you on the news. hello. thank you for joining me. my pleasure. well, earlier we spoke to the israeli peace activist. smell isn't on. he says as urgent need for action from not only do you in court,
6:21 pm
but from the international community as well. from the savings just after losing my voice bearings. my mom and father in losing so many of my childhood friends and their parents, their children, many lucky enough to realize that eh, i was calling for the donation. i think the engine and the already 7 and a half mazda and the vision is been where we. so 1st i want to, i am respect thing, which is always back the decision and the day i sent you. but it's not enough. it's not the not, and i want to uh to, to try and bring a new approach for what's happening to is ready then. but then yeah, and this approach shouldn't be based on the future. no one is offering us a better future. and why the donation of a community you'd be by there then for
6:22 pm
a while, we only think around a few minutes design is the fact that we are working to create a better future. and this is why i'm here in valona. it was a the question, what was the bible quantities and this is exactly our record. and for the boat to sit both our echo, it's the new come see ation. i'll wait for the last thing and not just to argue and debate it while they go with the situation because it's very clear that they call this situation cannot continue. it cannot continue. we must have thought they will and we must start building a new future. is moving on demonstrations of gathered in sri lanka is capital colombo in a show of solidarity for palestinians in the besieged goss. this strip protest is that also demanding an end to israel is, will not fernandez, has wont from slumber. the purchase is sorely deputy in support of the people of
6:23 pm
palestine rings together, cross section infinity composites of civil society organizations headed to log on as well as concern citizens of this country. now, on the bottom of the world and people rely on what people here are urging as an immediate stop to the violence. now, for people who have come from all walks of life here today, they say that people across the world are human beings and must not be treated this way. and they are urging immediate action. what they're doing is it's mackenzie, what they're doing is getting rid of the entire palestinian mission. why would this field, $17000.00 women and children, you'll be able looking for how much. yeah, appealing to that through amazon. so not to support. this will not close up, right? yeah. so this is as far as the progress is good, obviously the ride police, especially the force officers, ensuring the things don't get out of hand. now,
6:24 pm
while sort of decrying the violence of genocide in palestine, the people say this must always says stop bull street lumpkin. it's especially significant because today mocks essentially the audience and the rest of the, of the inside of the wall between the government and the tunnel of tigers. and we had our own version and it was sort of a blank page. launched against 300000 people trapped in a very small profit of land. and some of the actors who are urging that the policy and people's rights ha inspected are those who tend to blind item. what happened here 15 years ago, but only knows what the people is. cry is that live is must be protected, fernandez, ultra 0, colombo, the, the russian president that i'm a person is wrapping up a 2 day visit to china. he's called for close to economic ties between the countries. something that president chosen thing has called himself
6:25 pm
a no limits partnership. present also highlighted energy agreement. so phasing trade between the countries as valued at 214000000000 dollars last year. china is one of the few bias of russian oil often also invaded ukraine 2 years ago, triggering west infections, cushions visit comes off the she had conducted his 1st diplomatic tour in europe in 5 years. prison meanwhile, has said that moscow has no plans to capture khaki. if that's your credit. the 2nd largest city, the announcement comes off, the russian troops advanced 10 kilometers in the khaki region or over the past week . present person says that russia is rather coughing out above his own eastern ukraine to protect its regions near the border structure. so it's a wish to place quickness as well. what's happening around how to keep it is ukraine's volts because they have shelled and unfortunately continue shelling residential areas of rush and boarded territories, including belgrade. if this continues, we will have to create a safety zone,
6:26 pm
a buffer zone. if that is what we do. ask for how to keep we currently do not have plans to capture the city of ukrainian millet trace as the front lines of an expanded now by nearly 70 kilometers off to rush to launch that new push from the north present brought to me as the landscape visited injured troops to boost morale . he's described the situation is extremely difficult to enroll them, such as this update from khaki in eastern ukraine. this is now been more than a week since russian forces crossed over the border and into north east and ukraine . opening up a new front in the fence, if it's taken about 200 square kilometers of territory there on that board. what the training government is said that it's now containing and stabilizing the front line so that they're not penetrating any further into the country. but the ukranian heads of the forces has said that it was so rushed into a ser,
6:27 pm
extending that front of my mouth, sent me it says of an effort to draw ukrainian reserves and reinforcements that that's a problem to ukraine because it's already being outmanned in terms of soldiers in parts of the front line, even before this new offensive ukraine said that there was 7 russian soldiers to one ukrainians. so just so that's going to put fresh pressure on that pool. so how to keep the city itself, where we all thoughts, ukraine, 2nd largest city, it's home to move the 1000000 people that soon so being attacked fairly constantly by the to the point when on thursday, the city had an air ride a lot to move in 16 hours, but so long as a regular since the early days of the full scale invasion back in 2022 and russian forces, they say a using, especially for the problems they can be dropped by russian planes outside the writings of ukrainian defenses. they have wings on, they have such
6:28 pm
a light and navigation systems, and they can then travel tens of columbia to zip note the to get to the target. and that is often been buildings here in the city. so the pressure on this no face them, reads them in ukraine, still fairly intensive. this point, john home and how does data hockey? correspondents, really, a couple of oliver has of your now from oscar, of russia's offensive. and the northern hearted region began early may. and the russian side says it's been successful novels repeat, and i have explained the necessity for these offensive actions. he called them a response to the shutting of rushes of border regions by the ukrainian ami signing the things happening in the hall cab direction right now. uh well, rushes uh, well actually ukrainian sage because ukraine were selling residential areas and rushes board of regents killing civilians. for example, yesterday,

very dire situation in terms of food security. we also have to read the season coming up. we need to make sure they receive cash. we need to make sure that we fall must receive seats, so they become planned for the during the planting season. and we also need to get food and other supplies to the people as fast as we can come in time. we have been hearing repeated warnings of potential fallon, if it's not found that already, i believe something like 90 percent of all the student needs who are right now on the brink of starvation. the actually in the area is held by the r. assess the rapids support forces, and it's the student is telling me who is actually blocking aid access into those areas. is that your experience? well, we are facing the obstructions on many levels. but the areas in sudan level that are the hardest hit cartoon. the da 4 is the quarter funds in algebra, the restrict state. we are working with all parties with negotiating. we're trying
6:39 pm
to make sure that we have the access, and we're trying to make sure that we can get the food in. i've been told that's where the various parties have control of guitar treat. they will facilitate our access in those pots, and it is for the u. n. to negotiate with those that control other parts of the country to make sure that we can get food in there. so where there is control where engaging with those entities and trying to make sure they can facilitate the access . but as i said earlier, the biggest challenge is that we're racing against the clock. how much it is actually getting in right now, pending time i would say nothing. yeah. what is required, it's a trickle. and to be honest with you, we have faced significant challenges since these crisis begun. we need to move things at scale. we need to move them at speed, of course, security as a major impediment. but there are also challenges we face as a result of looking as
6:40 pm
a result to check points. and we need to make sure that as we engage with the various entities that control these parts of the country, we could move food in as quickly as possible. another concern is of course resources we need resources to be able to ensure that we have sufficient supplies and that we can maintain a steady pipeline. we've just come off with the powers conference that would many pledges made. we need those pledges to be translated into reality so that we can purchase supplies as quickly as possible kind of time i understand your and a and a tricky position. you're speaking to a number of different parties. who are you having to negotiate fast access to, to various different parts of the country. we have had repeated warnings of famine, and i'm trying to understand what the obstacle is here. and what happens when found an actually is declared. what are then the options is it then down to individual governments? so independent agencies, if the u. n. actually con, moves the a that's needed at the scale that's needed. well,
6:41 pm
we are hoping that in the weeks to come, we can stave off of funding stable for famine by positioning the food, the medical supplies, the nutrition supplies, the water and sanitation supplies, we need to get in the u. n. we need the n g losing and we need all the humanitarian partners on the ground to move in to position the supplies to distribute them to the people so that they can get what they need. we can avoid the situation spiraling out of control a time and time. and quite this allow me that the you and the residents and humanitarian coordination and to don, thank you so much for your time time and time. and we wish you the best you and your agency with for the walk. thank you very much. how the new director of one of columbia is biggest prisons has been shot dead in the capital book a time. and let the non does was heading home when gunman on a motion bike intercepted his car. and shelton was already is have offered

6:43 pm
forward. despite their attacks and insolence, the president gustavo peter ordered an emergency security meeting and said on the social media platform x that said none. this was quote, viola, the murdered feminist columbia. as most notorious criminals are held in this prison out, sorry to say, organized crime operates from inside smuggling drugs and goods. while directing, extortion and other crimes from the penny to entry segment, this was leaving an operation to separate gang members. columbus prison. a tory t says other officials are risk. 5 guards have been killed since the beginning of the year. and 6 others that survived the thames some their life. 550 officials have received that threats in the past 2 years. but the old story, these are playing catch up. but again, i'm with him already died when we to amanda is, was not issued with an ahmed vehicle because we do not have the capacity to be able
6:44 pm
to provide homage that goes to everyone. insect no director has such protection. the government has declared a prison emergency back in february, promising to increase security for prison officials. but that wasn't enough to save the life of the director of the country, not just prison. allison, but i'll be at the just the so let's make salis sondra now for the license to joins us from just outside the prison in the top uh sound or wherever we at right now the 900 and that stays. yeah. what i can tell you is that the police as work throughout the 9th or wherever they come through, is that flowing over the flying over the city of a book that there has been a huge police presence across the bay city. and we heard from the columbia, a minister of justice and the police at early friday morning saying that to day or
6:45 pm
investigation. and that the operation continues to add to catch those responsible for this coming. and they also announce that rewards of up to $50000000.00 pesos. that's roughly 131-4000 us uh, dollars for any information that could help at to catch these killers. that we also understand from the outside use that there is a main suspect that man is known here as a federal promo who is actually a prisoner inside the prison. and here's the organization that could be behind that at this killing. he was the, they pay me who also had tracked in the and the director for 9 days in the past day . so we also understand that there's an operation underway inside the prison. there was an attempt at a riot at a rest on the inside the prison as of the police and the guards were moving prisoners from one pavilion to the other. but that has been brought under control
6:46 pm
center in your report. you talk about this prison an emergency, and given that we're talking about lead suspect, who is actually a prisoner, what does all of us tell us about the situation inside jails and columbia right now? the? yeah, absolutely. this is a problem that goes back many years and in data has worse since in recent years, due to overcrowding and the presence due also to the fact to some system successful operations by the police and different parts of the country. yes, the, this is, uh, if you talk through experts here, they'll tell you that this is a many ways a secret crisis. we don't see much about it but has been worse sending. busy over over time and when something like this happens, it brings it to the serve up to the surface, and it's time for the government to do something about it. the, the, the situation is that many pavilions,
6:47 pm
that is of pervasive corruptions among many of the prison guards to, according both to experts and some union guys, the members uh, and the fact that criminals often are able to control these pavilions at times out . so it is need to ask them permission to operate the site that they use the pavilion so there's no doubt that this is a very, very complicated crisis. one that is not well known. and we'll see if this killing will mean that the government will be able to do more about it. and i found her on passing the on the ground for us and focus how with overlays just for bringing more as we get it. thank you and have something of honor and promote a promise to create 250000000 jobs in india. if he was elected prime minister, was he 6 at that time and the ongoing general elections? unemployment remains a huge concern to vote. as a reminder of the indian government has not gone through the visas to address here as john list. so we are covering the selection from outside the country. and
6:48 pm
michael, same sharif reports, the most negotiable, who spends noon? oh is on the streets of coal cut the capital of india's eastern state of westbound gold. his late escape of the jobs in private companies. the graduate from coke at the university makes it on $6.00 a day to support his family vehicle. similar to that is a lot of corruption in all government jobs. you have to pay a huge amount is abroad to get a position in private companies or exploding the situation. millions of young people in india, including those will formerly educated, are struggling to find stable employment. the full should take up in former jobs that, that temporary, an offer no social security benefits. so you under both says young people make up nearly 80 percent of the unemployed work force in india. the prime minister movies governing potty says that it's not that fault. the government has not faith. the government is $56.00, the case of a wrong focus,
6:49 pm
a den or to be done in one decade. india has one of the fastest growing economies in the world. s and p global rating says its own close to become the 3rd largest by 2013. the reserve bank of india says the indian economy is likely to hit the record growth rate of 7 percent in the next fiscal year. but some economists say, despite signs of progress, india is big economy is still a major problem. unemployment, this will tell you totally about skin off. perfect, but what tax, but big to a footprint heights is the fact that the level of informal what is extremely high and has been going up after the mazda attack and is run on october 7th. the country band, palestinians from working inside its territory. these rarely construction sector. the main lead relies on foreign labor, then opened up for indian book. as in january,
6:50 pm
thousands of men turned up for recruitment flies in the northern state of hud yona off to the government, advertise 10000 positions for construction workers in this while there is danger where we live dangers there and israel as well, $1600.00 a month we can't get that here, neighbor and go to a probation. india's most popular states also released some of the advertisement of all that shown that despite the dangers of looking into was own thousands of unemployed indians, a willing to risk their lives, to try and make a living. that's i'm thinking, put in an economy that supposedly growing at, you know, 67 percent, but yeah. the 6 week low multi phase general elections. and on june 1st in india and across the country, many voters are saying they want to come from and that creates table employment on
6:51 pm
the consumption grief on to 0. or we're turn into our top story now. the war on golf on, on the fest shipments of a it have entered the strip using a new floating pin built by the us military. us says some 90 truck codes the day will be delivered using this temporary installation, enabling $500.00 tons to enter the strip in the coming days. let's take a look. this is where the pier is located. it is slightly farther south than originally planned. that's because last month, these really ami also to be moved closer to one of its major check points. the united nations we understand is to coordinate the distribution of the aid off the it's been unloaded and inspected again by is rarely forces. but it says, if israel continues to prevent the entry fuels into the strip, they will actually be no way for it to be distributed. despite this new maritime card, or land still remains the most effective way for a to reach palestinians us to stave off the horrors of famine, we must use the fastest and most obvious route to reach the people of casa,
6:52 pm
and for that we need access by land now basically the bottom line is it's the only small amounts of food are getting in and, and in terms of fuel the fuel imports have, for all practical purposes stopped, we desperately need more fuel. there are hundreds of trucks waiting on the other side of rough, a crossing the main land route to get that, that previously we were getting aid into gaza. and, you know, filled with fluid filled with medical supplies and they're not being allowed through. what we need is for israel to reopen, all of the crossing points into gaza, all of the land crossing points into gaza and to allow unfettered, unrestricted access all. joining me live now from washington, dc is the white house national security communications advisor john cubby. don't copy, thank you for your time with us. when i was here today, i see that you with minute trees been very careful to point out to know us troops and took gaza, but you have now made so fast a delivery. so let me ask you, how is your assessment of how it will go on and how quickly it might be scaled up?
6:53 pm
so far, so good. we've got about 300 pallets of food in today. we're hoping in coming days to be able to almost triple that quantity and we had to be for, for the 1st, for the 1st day, we just wanted to make sure things worked well. so we were trying to not be too overly ambitious, but we are trying to get to get that 8 increased over the next 72 hours or so. and we hope to be able to do that. we've had terrific cooperation across the board. i mean, this is a real multinational and multi lateral effort. it starts in cyprus, we're grateful to the leaders there in cyprus that have allowed to shift to come in there with aid and assistance all the way, getting it to the peer. and then all the way in is really have been very supportive of this. and it's a multi lateral effort across the united states government with united states military building, the peer of course. but usa id really taking the lead in terms of how the aid is, is getting to the peer and, and being managed to over that causeway. so there's been a lot of teamwork here again, so far, so good. uh,
6:54 pm
we're excited about the possibilities. i do want to address one thing that you sort of alluded to before coming to me and that it's not enough. so i'm not stuff getting in right now. period and the peer itself is temporary, peer will not be enough all on its own to get the kind of food, water medicine let the post and he's living and guys are so desperately need. we gotta get those ground crossings as land crossings open. as soon as possible, you say that we need to get non cautions opened as soon as possible. i mean, there's hardly anything coming through them right now. rough as close kind. let me tell them it's old, but the, as you've said to the these ratings are being very supportive century blinking and present 5. and i've said time and time again that it has been us pressure that was getting a scaled up. so what's stopping not from happening now? well, when i said there's really have been support of, i mean of the temporary peer, they have been very supportive for their role in terms of helping get the material from the trucks and the causeway uh, onto the marshalling area. there sure,
6:55 pm
but clearly not enough is being done to open up the crossing drop the council up for further north. these crossings are still, as you rightly said, largely close. that's just not acceptable. the secretary blinking was just in the region and where he delivered this strong message to us really, counterparts. they've got to get these crossings back open. as somebody said before, you came to me, there are trucks on the other side, waiting to get in with desperate material. but people, me and it's absolutely vital. we get those crossings open. you said that these really minute tre had been working with the us military and, and helping to support this project to, to build this path. i'm curious, what those results does not have been especially used just to open a functional land crossing if they are actually committed to getting more a into the goal is the strength as well. you don't need these early military to open up these ground crossings. i mean the, the, the, the israelis can, can do that without
6:56 pm
a significant military footprint at each crossing. i recognize there's an inspection regime that has to occur all that's necessary. um, but uh, but i, i don't, i don't want to speak for these really military, but the support and assistance that they've given to the temporary peer by no means makes it impossible for them to also open rasa. and also open casual and also get arrest work and all that can be done simultaneously. as a matter of fact, i would go so far as to say, it's vital that it does happen simultaneously because it's pure alone is just not going to be able to meet the capacity and meet the need. let me ask this question that a different way that has been very public concerns that this, this floating pet is a disruption of thoughts that it gives as well. a father excuse to delay the flow of age across land crossings. how would you respond to those concerns? no, it doesn't offer anybody excuse in any way whatsoever. it is added to not an alternative to ground crossings. it can add,
6:57 pm
it can give us another way of getting in just like when we're doing air drops. you know, you can't do that and great volume, but it's an additive opportunity. it's another chance to get something to people who, who desperately need it. but it is not a replacement for, nor should it be considered that and it doesn't give anybody a pass, not these rarely is not us, not our partners, not 8 organizations. nobody gets a pass here in terms of not, not me are not having to put any energy to getting those ground crossings open. they've got to get open. it's absolutely vital that i do want to austria. i don't know how the president 5 and has said that a ground defensive in russell without a career and protection time for civilians was a red line for him. that offensive we've been watching. it has been ongoing now. so over a week. so let me also when you talk about protecting civilians and making shall aid for instance, is getting across the board. what would it take for the us to hold weapons deliveries to israel, not just 2000 pound bombs, but the weapons deliveries in every line that you've done in the sand with this
6:58 pm
route has pretty much been crossed. well, i think i'd take a little issue with the premise of the question about lines in the sand being cross . and i won't get into hypothetical situations. i can only point you to what the president has said himself that you know, if we don't see better decisions in different decisions made by as rarely, counterparts then, you know, we'll have to make decisions of our own about, about our support. but hopefully won't come to that. we don't want it to come to that israel has every right to eliminate the almost threat. and we've never said they can't go into in the rough or, and, and deal with hamas terrace. of course they can do that. they shouldn't do that. what we said is, there's better ways to do it, then smashing in there with large ground forces and dropping bombs from the here. there are that, that are not precise. there are ways to get him off stairs, where he's in fact that we've learned to our own bitter experience from iraq and afghanistan that we want to share with them and alternatives we want to provide to them so that they can do it in a way that doesn't put those 1000000 people greater risk. admiral john covey, the white house national security communications advise that. thank you for your
6:59 pm
time with us on the algebra. yeah, you but oh, well that's it for this news out. don't go away. i'll be back in just a minute. the examining the impact of today's headlines. i wish i had the word word to describe what setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions right now. if you're on campus talking about the site, you are being called anti semitic and a supporter of care international film makers and will cross journalist bring programs to enforce and inspire to options await us in the immediate future by the prices for climate revolution. on alger 0, now let me tell you almost suffice. equal results, the 1st of its kind in west africa, we were surrounded by a wild life. from the moment we entered
7:00 pm
a coupon. occupied right now able to practice much luck. the now be used only electric very close here, like coming here, sits on to play with a large 3rd space with a look in my private for me now. thanks. royal. i can also offer somebody valley equal resort to mean gun the is there any strikes, devastated northern garza at least 6 power, steering and sheltering of the jamalia refugee camps have been killed. the color that i missed on the attain, this is all to 0 life from the will. so coming up and us bill pier on gauze. those kinds of receives h shipments from the fast time,
