2:02 am
a complete distortion of reality. us president joe biden is calling it out rages. this is a prosecutor. it also once arrest warrants for 3 senior, how much leaders, but they have tobar 7th attack and southern israel. a move that's being done that's by thomas. so i'm, a bit of it begins are coverage. the starving children is a crime. the killing civilians is a little crime, and wilfully causing suffering is also a criminal act. those are the top 2 reasons. the prosecutor of the international criminal court is cited for requesting and restaurants for these really prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and defense minister golf kalonde, have reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence collected and examined by my office. that is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu administer of defense you, i've got
2:03 am
a back criminal responsibility for the following. international crimes committed on the territory of the state of palestine. several is read. the ministers have denounced the allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity. the foreign minister is red cods that says it's a historic disgrace and that especially for room has been set up to counteract the decision. but not everyone agrees is what i really gain to text. it says was this war of the whole vague is of december and the hardwood is against us any to unite the game? these very easy to very nation at least stick even more nation is this way. and everyone receives, so just in such a victim by the evil decision, i think it's adjusted. this is the i c. c. prosecutors also seeking the rest of ordering support from us political and been if you need to explain honey, you can send bar and bahama. dave, that are reasonable grounds to believe that these 3, i'm actually just a criminal. you're responsible for the killing of these really civilians and
2:04 am
attacks perpetrated by a mass. i'm groups on the 7th of october 2023. the palestinian group says the arrest warrants for nothing. yahoo and kalonde a several months too late. and rather than equating the victim, but the perpetrator, i c. c, should or did the rest of all occupation officials gave orders and the soldiers who counted out the crimes. if we want to be honest, we should be looking at what it is that the government is really government has been doing the orders that it has it issued to it's soldiers and it's issued orders to its soldiers to carry out a genocide. if this court is to have any credibility, it should be going after the people were committing genocide, rather than just simply trying to play this game of both sides. for months, the i c c. prosecute to face criticism as the conduct guzman folded. cream hunts critics, even of the un security council criticize what they saw as, as in action to hold is we had a comfortable seas via
2:05 am
a ceasefire. israel's allies, including the united states, mostly expressed anger. i had to run dave, i cc announcement target israel and we will talk to you that a warning letter from it doesn't us republican senate has the threatened to cut funding and sanction i. c. c stop and their families. this is bill that today in the me, a talk over the rest within is unlikely to have an immediate impact on the war which has killed more than 35000 palestinians and displaced millions more since october. some of the job, you know, because there is the bosses at the hague and she explains what the prosecutors bid means for international law and the court after months of pressure from all sides on the international criminal court, the prosecutor here has made a major announcement with the rest of organs that he's requesting. now, the icbc is embarking on an unprecedented join. and one of the most high profile cases that ever had since it's at the establishment in 2002,
2:06 am
despite all the pressure coming from the united states, for example. and also criticism for from countries like germany who are wondering if the court has the jurisdiction the prosecute with a has decided to go ahead with this case. what will now happen is that the pre trial chamber judges would have to decide if the requests for the arrest warrants of ballot. so that will definitely also add the jurisdiction of the court. and we know that since 2021, this court has decided that this can a rule over cases that happened crime. so it has been committed in the palestinian territories, although it's route is not a signatory of their own statute. so these charges will have to decide probably within a few weeks, and what then happens if they really decide to issue these arrest warrants, then the $124.00 members of who have signatories assigned to the wrong set. you will have to arrest these people when they come into the countries and have to
2:07 am
transfer them to the hague, where they will be detained and will be put on trial. i have to know though, that the account we select the united states. china is route, for example, on not the signal 3. so in these countries, they don't have that same obligation, but still this is a very significant 1st step and it's very prominent case stuff. awesome. al jazeera, the hey, a pro, israel is not a member of the i. c c. and israel's leaders don't face imminent arrest, but they say the prosecutor's decision is disgraceful and anti semitic homage them has more. let me remind you of israel has bind, i'll just data from reporting in the country. so we're going to be reporting from, i'm on the outrage across the is really political spectrum at the announcement that international criminal court, cheap prosecutor cutting pond and seeking arrest warrants for israeli prime minister benjamin it's in. yeah. who is really defense ministry off the lot as well
2:08 am
as 3 from us. leaders is really prime minister. netanyahu declaring that he rejects with disgust the comparison between israel and come us. here's more i wouldn't have and you also have to say, well, absolutely, but i should condition that the, this absurd and distinct, full warrant of the persecution in the hague is aimed at no, certainly against israel's prime minister and defense minister, but against the entire states. if is right off, it is against the idea of soldiers who are fighting with the utmost bravery against the vile murder was of a month who attacked us with ring dispute. tell us the on october 7th, the prosecutor in the haines with was odessa to do. you did compare between the how much monsters and the soldiers of the id, if the world's most immoral army at a time of such deep political polarization is real at a time when there's so many divisions across the political landscape. what we heard throughout the day after the announcement from the i c. c was very much a common refrain, very much echoing,
2:09 am
but we also heard from that's in yahoo for example. you had war cabinet member of any gaps, former israeli defense minister. and he tweeted that to equate israel and how much was moral blindness. we also saw a tweet from the opposition leader in israel. yeah, your la pete in that tweet repeat said the icpc arrest warrants are a complete moral failure. we cannot accept the outrages comparison between us and yahoo, instant war between the leaders of israel and the leaders of how much we also saw a tweet from is really president issac hertzog, who in a late fee statement set, among other things. the announcement of the prosecutor at the i c. c is beyond outrages and shows the extent to which the international judicial system is in danger of collapsing. we will not forget our hostages, whose they for turn, should be the main concern of the international community. we expect all leaders in the free world to condemn outright this step and firmly reject it. beyond that, we also saw a lot of quotes from and named is really political officials throughout these
2:10 am
really media landscape throughout the day. calling the announcement from the i c. c . hypocritical saying that it was embarrassing on an international level that it was disgraceful that it was insolent. what we know is that there are top legal scholars in israel, as well as members of the national security council and the foreign ministry that are all meeting they have set up a war room to try to figure out how to deal with all this going forward. how much i'm doing with 0, i'm letting you know who's also facing pressure on israel streets from anti government protesters in west jerusalem demonstrate is valid outside of the class. and again, it's benjamin netanyahu, whose government police abuse, wasn't cannon to disperse, the crowds. and also when calling on the government to reach a deal with homeless to return captives held in gaza. meanwhile, president joe bivens called the icpc move against benjamin netanyahu. outrageous,
2:11 am
he said the us will always stand with israel when it comes to stripes against the security secretary say down to the blinking said the us fundamentally rejects the icbc, prosecutors attempt to get a warrant against is way me leaders and that any equivalence of israel with homeless is shameful. what kind of jo castro is joining us now from washington d. c. so pretty strong and fairly clear statements being made by joe barton. i'm actually thinking what other other reactions of their being from the us a rob joe bite and actually just spoke about this from the white house. and it comes at a time when the tension between us and israel has really been growing over. the u. s. has ignored warnings for israel not to invade rasa, but now with this, i see, see, move to seek arrest warrants for netanyahu. it seems that biden is moving closer to israel. here's what he said. let me be clear. reject the i see she's application
2:12 am
arrest warrant. you get rid of these wars by apply, there's no privilege between israel and i'm off it's clear because it was all, do all it can to ensure civilian protection. and let me be clear, concert allegations against israel made by the end as a court of justice. what's happening is not genocide, reject the raleigh stand with this room is and threats against a secured and as you heard, there was some sharing from the crowd there. i should state that fight and was speaking at a previously scheduled event, which is commemorating jewish american heritage month at the white house. as far as what can the us do about this effort to seek an icpc arrest warrant?
2:13 am
well, look and make these strong statements and support of israel as you just heard. there's also the republican senators who are issued a letter warning that they could try to seek sanctions against the i c. c staff members. but really the biggest leverage that you, the us may have given that it is not a member of the i c, c itself. is that it could pressure its allies, most european nations that are signatories to not take action to actually arrest these people. if the rest weren't were to be granted. there was certainly would be a lot of pressure and a lot of tension that those european allies of the us would be under in trying to navigate that per that potential conflict of interest is i'm high digital gosh. so talking to us in washington dc id. thank you. well, i mean while and gaza palestinians are facing danny deaths, i'm displacement. here's how they reacted to the ice. se prosecutors request
2:14 am
and the problems with the victims. although we have nothing to do with israel. oh, how much we know, how mass or palestinian islamic jihad with citizens. and i used to work in israel, and i was working in israel securely and safely. what's my guilt for my children's guilt? what's my guilt to my siblings? guilt o, my neighbors guilt. why was i displaced? why do i have to suffer every day appointed? would that lie on the coast? fell off until the prosecutor that the codes are being shuffled. because the equivalence between the victims and the oppressed. how is it possible to equalize between those who defense a country and freedom, and the icpc, the value, everything in accordance with the human utility and standards. and between those who target children, women, and of the people, those who display homes and structure enter your mind to your sectors in the us, us to want to give you a look at the next step in the icpc process. and application is made to the chords pre trial chamber to decide whether sufficient grounds and jurisdiction exist. the
2:15 am
arrest warrants are issued, suspects can voluntarily surrender to the i. c. c, or countries that have signed up to its roman statute. have an obligation to arrest them. if they're apprehended hearing's, going to be held to decide if there's enough evidence to go to trial. if the case proceeds 3 trial judges will preside, and the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. judges can then issue sentences of up to 13 years in prison and even life sentences in exceptional cases as well. in the aftermath of the i. c. c. chief prosecutors move to pursue arrest warrants for is really and how much leaders most i'm boss. it is of the un remain tight lips if any questions on the contentious issues, but some diplomatic voice is emphasized. the importance of respecting the judicial is independence, underscoring a cautious approach until legal process is unfold. i'll just say it is gabriel at
2:16 am
a zone to reports from you and headquarters in new york of your un headquarters, most ambassadors did not want a comment about the i c c decision. as one said, it's like a hot potato that nobody really wants to touch right now. we spent all day trying to talk to investors even asking them questions as he went in and out of security council meetings. but in almost all instances, our questions were ignored. now most countries clearly want to let the judicial process play out, and that was the sentiment echoed by motors, ambassador to the un, which is a member of the security council. please stop what did you the should institutions of united nations. and we think we believe very much in their impartiality and their independence and they should be allowed to carry out the way independently without any threats and to the process go full,
2:17 am
it's designated to fitness as everything else has been called crisis, the social process is also about who is invited, 3 d is about the independence of the course. there is a sense here of us double standards and people point to march of last year when the i c. c issued an arrest warrant for russian president vladimir, put in for alleged war crimes in ukraine at the time the us and other western countries mostly applauded that decision by the i c. c. but now when the icpc closes in on arrest warrants for is really officials the us cause it outrages gabriel's on don't. how does either united nations in new york so meanwhile, on the ground and gaza is really a types of killed at least a $106.00 palestinian since sunday in northern gaza. is there any forces of targeted residential squared and beta? how many of the victims for women and children acts was on the rich reports?
2:18 am
because you had the what is really palm so raining down again, the northern does the targeting civilian areas and monday morning explosions hit the most of the neighborhood debate last year. building scramble, trapping people into rubbish. panic spread among thousands of philistines shelter, and here i was passing through this road and all of a sudden the earth was shaking as if it was an earthquake piece. the flesh of screwed over the walls. look for yourself. i'm collecting pieces of flesh and i was in the market, came home to find all my brothers and sisters going. all of them were killed ripped to pieces their flesh scattered all over the place. at a nearby commode, one hospital emergency rooms are overwhelmed with the continuous influx of picnics,
2:19 am
including many children and the elderly. the, this medical facility is one of the few still barely operating in northern cancer and face and collect staff medicine and supplies. israel has been in testifying its military operations across the strip in the past 3 weeks. earlier this month, troops and tags began moving into southern gaza targeting the city of process. the civilians were ordered once again to head to other areas. but with the entire strip under relentless bombardment, they find themselves with nowhere to go. acts of language, which is 0. still had an autism around the cares early presidential elections next month after the death of president abraham. are you see me and a helicopter crash? mexican candidates, translating over security in the final debate, head of
2:20 am
a presidential election. the a hello. we will see most of this storm spring across the northern plains of the us pushing across into the upper midwest is going to be towards the great lights on the off the area of low pressure. this one you can see that on the heads just rolling in on this same system. so some big down polls coming in here was a go one through tuesday that was allotted to be some localized flooding lot. so somewhere around the october night i lodge hail the whole ship. i'm further east it's dry is warm. it's sunny. 26 celsius in new york. a couple of degrees higher than that for they say, unless we go on into uh, wedding stay, it's form is still that west of weather stuffs. well it gets way across the legs, pushing up into one terabyte using across the was good, back for the west. the winter weather still cool enough funds when the wintry
2:21 am
weather the across the higher ground. you'll notice that across the tapes house and bank shell is coming through that more heavy down pools into texas. could again lead to some localized flooding. have you down post to across the greater entities cuba, jamaica said some nasty sounds is quite a nasty system. this one which rolls out into the waters of the carrot, being few showers, 7 to haiti, and also into dominican republic and more of the same as we go through with the state by what is the future i was into bob aid as and also into trinity that the sectarian, this is terry. it seems that unity within india is vibrant tapestry as election for the sweeps, the nations to childhood friends find their relationship unraveling, as opposed to opposing hope. can the friendship survive the political divide and
2:22 am
the world's largest democracy? india is fractured. witness on i will just the the, [000:00:00;00] the, the watching or does it remind you of or tell the story is this uh the top prosecutor for the international criminal court is seeking a rest of all those for is there any prime minister, benjamin netanyahu and defense, minnesota drop talent is accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity in gaza, both israel and it's all live. the us have been on the movies and the restaurants are also being sold for how much they just it's not funny. yeah. yeah,
2:23 am
i've seen one on demo how many days accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. and they have told the 7th attack on israel thomas says it has the right to resist, is where the occupation, including on resistance reading gaza, is where the attacks of killed at least a $106.00 punish jennings sunday. and then also there's really forces of targeted and residential square and base. i have many of the victims were women and show francesca albany is a, is the un special rap hotel for the occupied palestinian territory. and she says the icy c, prosecutors move to sink arrest waters for his reading. leaders is historic. the degree trial chamber a google, so the judges frugal internal majority basis. so they would have to assess to the evidence that the prosecutor has a, has gathered and, and because he said to the interest charges and the issue, the,
2:24 am
so these are his words. so um, i understand, i hear from the previous comments that there is some uh, high level of frustration and we'll get you straight to leaders. and uh, israel said, lies also sounds very understandable. now the frustration that's where the policy and especially to some of the doesn't gossip, they are the ones being genocide and disappear. so he's alternate at the same time for me, this is an historical historical day and i do hope that it will continue to be. so it's not the small thing that to that the i c c persecute or how to issue the national rest words for to israeli leaders. and he's not just for more crimes which was tiered by many over over the years. it's, i mean age for crimes that have been for me to intentionally and wilfully. so the allstate, policies that need to this, the company interface to gauge the progression, gosh,
2:25 am
is pretend to question without condoning or justifying the crimes that have been committed by how much describes should have been investigated and prosecuted. it shouldn't have given the leeway to israel to, to start at war. we just turn it to a title, wreckage, the entire process team population. i do agree, i do agree that and you might have heard me before. we have had this discussion before the 1st time was elizabeth search for the credibility of the course and these procedures read particular and after the 7 talked over after the 8th of october, it was clear that these was not. i mean, he was about to watch the under the students of walked out of yale university is graduation, so many known as commencement in the us office staging, an anti war protest and walk out and follow some graduates holding signs demanding a permanency spy on an end to us military assistance for israel have also demanded deals,
