the power and this has changed a lot of the calculations of people around the region in terms of we know how do we deal with their on the western world. broadly under the united states has, has tried cos simply essentially, around in revolution, to sanction them, to pressure them to bankrupt them to really make them suffer. but they've, they've gotten through it all and in various ways and they're still there and they're still playing original role of the, the unanswered question that many people keep asking. those iran want to dominate the region or does go wrong, simply want not to be bossed around by foreign powers, without legitimate reasons to boss that around. so saying they're still angry about the over sort of them said back in 1953 by the british on the americans, and they won't put up with that anymore. so they have a very defiant and militant them proud stance on these questions. it's still unclear if they really have regional emissions to dominate or simply to not

be pushed around. and this is a fascinating question scholars and journalists and that people debate this all the time. but the reality is though, that they are playing pivotal roles and areas like, for instance, relations with china, russia, turkey, big, other powers that can help change the region for the better of the region that's, that's one of their, one of the rooms there. reconciliation with the so these was very significant there there of militant, defiant power, but they have also always engaged them given take negotiations. when it comes to that kyle, scared to, to reflect perhaps on president gracie's approach by all counties. he's been a very prognostic man. i understand you didn't used to travel a great deal, but he did make state trips to, to both china and russia and to other countries in the region. how much has he been

instrumental in, in a runs role when it comes to, to projecting a rating and influence? and then let me also ask you that within the context of, of garza as, as you mentioned, well, as far as i know, these are wrong in the system is really a balance of power between the supreme leader. the revolutionary guards, the conservative as a religious establishment, and the executive branch, the executive branch is probably the weakest of all of those. but the, the president can have an impact on changing certain policies and directions. but it's only can happen if the supreme leader and the revolutionary guards go along with it. so you had it under, i'm the image that you ended up. how does i'm to have to me in different ways? some became more militant, some became more flexible, but they operate within the, within an orbit of a certain overall iranian strategy. how does that cost complete? in my interpreter, i've only been through around lunch. so i don't know the countries in some of the

form with them, but i've followed it and they call simply operate them in orbit of probing and give them take, making their position very clear. but also trying to avoid conflict if they can. but using their power and their military capability is to make it clear that they will not just accept anything that's imposed on them and their ability to whether the incredible sanctions, i don't know any country in the world that has been as heavily sanctions as iran over the last 3040 years and they're still, you know, plodding along and the economy is not in great shape, but they're lucky to have an oil and, and, and they have a lot of other resources and they're developing new trading relationships with many powers into your interest asian region and dave, around me to stay with me because i do want to come back to you. but just in the last few minutes we've had from around the supreme data outcome and a he gave a statement. as i said earlier,

he is praying for the president safety and he's telling of radians, not to worry about any disruptions to the states, defense, a man of the moon. some of the genesis cease to our beloved compatriots, whether you sit here or listening from home, be sure that there will be no disruption to the states affairs. from this evening, our officials continued to work with diligence. everything, god willing will go as normal. the state security, the security of our borders and all other necessary tasks of our country or, or ami was speaking about the broad, the decision making mechanisms all the wrong. i wonder how regional leaders are watching or this play out. obviously lots of questions still to be on said search and rescue. very much ongoing and, and many different regional leaders come out and saying that they all they're praying for, for president tracy's safety. what uh, what does the region looking for at this moment? well, i think what you're going to find, 1st of all is almost everybody is going to offer to help if they can,

if they have special equipment or whatever. iraq already has, for instance. yeah. even people's been a dodge was the wrong, will offer to help. this is one of the traditions of the, the regions kind of a sly, makes all of that already. just human. human to human reality is the, the, the, the major power of the major powers and the region of often competes where they are on. so you have egypt, jeff, turkey and they sometimes a suit. so the radio. but at the same time, they understand that they need to have a decent relations, especially in the area of trade and energy collaboration, and things of that nature. but you're going to find, i believe, a and a re re renewed efforts, whether the president is healthy and alive or not, or what are incapacity. i don't know, but i think this is a moment. it's going to make people look again another on and say, well,

you know what, what are we doing with the wrong? should we have good relations with mutual good relations with iran and healthy you're on to get through this sanctions phase, which most people i think is unfair, but you have a lot of our leaders and the arrow people because of the people tend to say whatever their leaders tell them, but you have a lot of our countries that are really afraid of you're wrong, but i think it's a threat to them. and then you have situations like leveling them where the dominance of hezbollah, there's not something that a lot of love in his life, about half of the market and the other half don't like it. so it's just, it's a controversial player in the region, and they're still searching for that. a modest event day where they can live with each other power of countries and you're on a, in a reasonably stable manner. i'm the last point is that many out countries are heavily dependent on the us for us military, financial aid,

the cetera. and they will, are often pressured by the us to do this or do that. and i think they're gonna re think some of this probably as long as it's done in a way that's mutually beneficial for iran in the archives and as long as it it doesn't contravene existing international obligations. well, me koya always really great to hear your thoughts. thank you for joining me again on the, on the, was there a new cell? well, let's now go to of us on a, he's a senior research fellow at the center from the lease strategic studies. he joins us now from the arabian capital to around about. thank you for being with us again here on out to 0. let me ask if, if anyone has reacted to what we've had from the supreme leader. you were saying earlier that there was a great amount of anxiety about what might happen about the whereabouts and the safety and health of the president. obviously we, we've had the supreme need to try to reassure irradiance has that. has that what as

well, the remarks on the event and later has quite significant uh, 3 messages. one he hope that the president will come back. this somehow indicates that despite some rumors there is no final conformation on the situation as we speak. and the you ran into ran a minister also said that no afraid sion and no so risky operation team as been able to arrive at the site and to locate the helicopter. and so the 2nd point, i think, in the van and they, there is remark was the uncertainty because he has people to pray for their health, including the president, the font of minnesota, and all the officials. this somehow indicates that may be however, there are holds, but the chances are as low as it is getting darker as there is rainfall. as there is a steep slope in the mountainous area, there is far as there is no good by side at the moment. so the weather condition is

not good, so the chances are decreasing and the temperature is also dropping. i certainly, i think the most important part of his remark was that he tried to make sure that the people do not need to worry about the news coming from the crash of the helicopter of the president of the president and the foreign minister. they are a high ranking senior officials in the country, but i think the lead to try to reassure that the situation is in control. and in the, even if in the worst case scenario, they will be able to survive the situation. and so that he tried to contain that uncertainty and to make sure that there will be no chaos. and so, and i was seeing reaction in on social media and on the media that they were, they were somehow welcoming. and then the remarks by the later in order to make

sure that this situation is in control, because that have been many questions that what will happen in the aftermath of this incident on development. but he want to, uh, somehow make sure that this uh, you know, there will be no chaos and there are things that will be okay. presumably the questions are being asked by iranians, the, about the safety and security protocols that were at play here. you had to have the country seeing the most officials on the same helicopter that then took off and this was a decades old, had a cup to which then took off and, and really terrible weather. is there a demand for, for accountability, a. 1 it's a bit late to talk about those issues, but, but i have been talking to you raining officials and sources. they have been most of the saying that the, you know, specifications and the location that the, the, how the costs are has trash. it's mounts in this area. it's far as it has been

a dense fog in the area and that has been not been a good ice side there. and they are mostly have been this pick you late thing. this has happened as a result of the adverse but the conditions. uh but, but the, you know, in addition to the president, we had the foreign minister in the helicopter. because this, they were returning from inaugurating at the official border with as that by john. and this was something related to you missing between the van and president as or by john, the president that was uh, you know, nor month for even in photo, minnesota thoughts and that sort of money. and they were coming from the same sort of money. that's why they were on the same helicopter. but unfortunately, this incident has happened and the, there is no, you know, a correct correct ability, you know, assessments of the situation as we speak. but however,

the chances are not very high a, this has happened but so for i think there will be a need for further investigation. that's why this has happened. but primary evaluation suggests that this has happened as a result of bonds with a condition which is yet functioning in the area. indeed, and we're hearing that rain is going to continue all the way to tomorrow. also, sony, the senior research fellow at the center of him, at least strategic studies. thank you so much for joining us again on al jazeera of the yeah, moving on top of the top story i'm the is really only is intensifying it's and round attacks from the north to the south of the gaza strip palestinians. i'm wanting a police 31 people who are killed in an overnight strike on a house and the all new sarah refuge account. women and children were again among

the dead and injured. they were taken to the opposite hospital, which we know is struggling to cut. and according model, not a that's not something that i constantly hear stories from survivors who were pulled from under the rubble. but this is the 1st time in my life. i came so close to death. my sister was lying next to me under the debris. she was crying. i was totally helpless. my grandmother, she's a very old lady. she's also deaf. she was asking me what was happening around her. she didn't understand. my house was full of my relatives. the entire neighborhood was leveled to the ground. while correspondent, hunting left. what has worn out from the scene of that attack on the, on your sarah count, the we are the side of this bond residential home from overnight to talk. and as you can see from the picture, not only the targeted residential form has been destroyed completely, but the surrounding building, just to say a great deal of devastation and damage to the point they are becoming uninhabitable

. this particular residency house 5 display as families evacuated old, away from the northern part of the gaza strip all the way through of the city. i know these really military expand. it is military maneuver and operation and rough uh, this particular family evacuated and was pushed into further enforce this place. been all the way to honda. and if it has not been on the site right, refugee camp in the central area seeking shelters, and protection from the unpredictable is really full in bonds, only to get killed here. 26 people out of the 30 people in this particular residency were killed as a result of the relentless error strikes on this particular residential building. as well as before, piece of the mentions the humanitarian situation on the ground and gaza has only been lessening since israel shot old and crossings into the strip. now some of the

supplies had been delivered by boat, some to a newly built american pair of the 10 trucks that have so far rolled off that pear . okay. only a fraction of what's needed. the crowds with being rushing towards those trucks transporting a to be honest, there are refuge account and northern parts of gauze are we ready, experiencing, found in an agencies have gone to the crisis is moving south. the white house has acknowledged a coming through is an option now. meanwhile, is rarely set does have again attached to trucks carrying aids to garza. this time it happened at a check point me a hebron in the occupied westbank in recent days. is that because have been rooting around sacking and destroying supplies that are meant for palestinians and need a new an agency for palestinian refugees says this work is being delivered. they have to, by israel under chief for the plaza, really made those comments during a press conference with the georgia in foreign, minnesota. you will have heard me over the last few weeks on. so raising cl um

on the house or united nation has been regularly unblocked and disregarded in gaza. look at the, the number of staff for which have been killed. more than 200 stuff had been killed amongst them, 189 staff or on the from on one. the number of premises which have been damaged or 40 destroys more than 160. and we had hundreds of people who were seeking that protection. how strong do united nation where in this a south the and i've been killed when they have been damaged to la elders here a spoke to him. austin griffith. he's the un humanitarian. if it is an emergency relief coordinator, he says he is rarely government has failed to open non crossings despite repeated please by the united nations. the prediction is that many of us made what the

worries that we had about a rough operation seemed to be coming true. and that's a huge tragedy. 800000 people displaced in the last 1012 days. it's a shocking, shocking reflection. people who be just faced more than 3 or 4 times already, many of them, no place to go, no food to eat. we are stuck in the south in terms of the operation because we don't have fuel and the trucks as you say, and not getting through because the crossing points have been blocked. and so at the moment we have very little to offer the people of goals and what the message goes from, all humanitarian agencies is open those crossings. it's that simple. tragically, the 15 trucks i think, which took 8 away from the beach from the maritime operation yesterday. any 4 of those trucks managed to get through more or less on top from the warehouse. so it's the problems in gaza that really an old ways we have set up the problem,

the security of distribution. we have also said keep land crossings open. we. we welcome them our time here. it's good to have trucks come in. we welcome is right, is opening the rex up in the north. but it ancient not. we meet with it is ready daily through co got the, the committees set up for the stuff that we have many, many detailed discussions about security, about the movement of our trucks and convoys about the projects for fuel. but the fact of the mattress, everybody will tell you this is not conjecture is we are not in a position to provide proper aid to the people because right now it's not ever been quite as difficult as it is today. i mean, not a weekend of palestinian solidarity. protests is continuing across europe. crowds gathered in brussels and other cities across the continent demanding an end to what

they say is european union complicity. and israel's ongoing genocide. a waste, meanwhile, as piling off across the gaza strip. contamination was producing the spreading disease. hundreds of thousands of the space palestinians are sheltering and makeshift housing on the wasi, forced to live that alongside of growing piles of rubbish. and as michael awful reports, it's making a dia, humanitarian situation. even west of milwaukee has become a sea of tens, hundreds of thousands of palestinians, of sheltering. yeah. but something else is beginning to dominate the landscape to the foldable. the gaza strip generated more than a $1700.00 tons of solid waste. today, old municipal services have collapsed and the piles of unconnected rubbish. just continue to grow. like many other palestinians. faults the now sony has been

display several times. she says, living conditions in the so called safe zone, or a breeding ground for disease. now, go to know your b is really has told us to come here with promises of tense, water, and food. upon arrival, we found no water, no toilets, and no sanitation facilities were surrounded by garbage. our children are suffering from rashes itchiness an acne. it's made worse by insects, supplies, and even frocks. our health is worsening, rapidly. have no, sir. you have the united nations development program calls the sanitation crisis, a silent strength to people in gaza. thousands of tons of unconnected rubbish is contaminating water sources, spreading diseases, polluting the a and providing a breeding ground from mosquitoes and other pests like racks and snakes. i've seen in um, in con, sleep because of the insects and snakes that get into us. and we've also had to

rush my sister to hospital because she's suffering from a respiratory illness. garbage continues to be dumped to was thinking already unbearable situation. you can't live in such conditions, the level of madison, not mohammed, which is our cells, whatever you can to make a living, spent a long side mountains of waste in the industry. we came here after receiving evacuation leaflets, seeing no other choice, we left immediately. this is no lossing matter, nor is this a game. we were not able to find any decent place to live. we have to settle here near waste dumpsite time. israel has designated all my wasi, a safe humanitarian zone. is it on bob's rough palestinians here? say it's neither safe. no, 2 main mike level. i'll do their hello. it's happening now to our top story. the uranium president remains missing off to his helicopter crashed. joining me now in

a studio alger there is correspondent ali how shall his extensively covet around for us and wrong me for a senior fellow at the american university. if everything's, the gentleman said, staying with us at this hour. i'm going to start with you out a because we were talking earlier about everyone wanting to offer support and we weren't sure how that was actually going to actually manifest on the ground. now literally, just in the last few minutes we've had the european commission. they've said that they're offering satellite nothing services to key a has also joined and you predicted that would happen no, to me. saudi arabia too is saying they want to help. what do you make as of all of these offers? are you, it's a, it's a moment where everyone would like to to have it. but as i said before, it depends on how the rankings are going to receive these, these offers. yeah, the radians would want to get to the president by themselves. and this is part of the mentality, the mindset in your, on, of course, it would wait from any satellite imagery,

whether it comes from the europeans or maybe from the americans. because these are areas that are covered by itself and bytes. now the limitations within the erie and system within this evening and establishment thought are, are many now with the sound is we know recently that there is a different story now between the readings and the saudis, at least the, the thoughts that was produced by the d as between them, makes it easier for the saudis to offer and at the same time, maybe this is going to have a lot of impact positive impact on the diplomatic relations between the 2 countries . i've worked with you and your walk, you know, to county rock, enjoy very good relations with, with your on at least not, not the same like saudi arabia. so of course, this is, their maintenance would be open to get these half. what on the ground, i believe that the ring is one to see the people on the ground looking for the press that so ronnie, we were talking earlier about the region, obviously everyone expressing their solidarity at this stage. and what,

what more could the region be doing to help iran right now? uh, i think one of the things that could be doing is talking to their western allies and friends and they're not equals, but they are of companies that rely on the west. like egypt, saudi arabia and others that they're not equal with the wrong with the west, with the us and others. but they are close partners and they can talk to them. and they should convince the western powers that you need to engage here on an amount or that is consistent with international law is consistent with a mutual interest in both people and shows a motor come of human decency. and this is one of the great things of the erroneous put a lot of stress on the, you know, there, there's sticklers for playing by the rules. they will, the way they will bade the, uh, i, a sanction the inspections is amazing. even when the agreement stopped, because the americans pulled out, they kept doing

a lot of inspections. and so the ronnie is really, this has a moment to test them, but you can only test them by showing them that you are dealing with them as equals, as, as, as human beings who have the same rights as, as you do. so i think gestures at this moment count a lot, but the adjusters have to be followed up with practical diplomatic activity. it's interesting you say that because a lot of the conversation we've been having has been about the continuity of the around in states and policy and not just domestic but also foreign policy. and we've also had that from supreme leader saying, don't worry, everything is going to, going to stay as is essentially what you were saying. rami is that just is from non traditional iranian allies here. could actually be a moment for reflection. oh, absolutely, absolutely. and this is really one of the beauties of middle eastern this law make our culture version towards this, whatever that people put

a lot of emphasis on this kind of gesture doesn't mean that all is forgotten. and many of the people who will make gestures to iran are still afraid of it. but if you start the process of talking about the issues that separate, you can probably find a resolution to the west as you whipped up this incredible she uh some the rivalry um, uh there are issues that are historical as well as contemporary. but the ronnie is, are in a very strong position regionally and you know, a lot of they are a country, is they a serious wrong? but they also kind of envy a for its ability to do what it's done for. we want to generate this regional network of allies with immense power, 2 of whom have forced the, as rarely as the biggest power in the region to make the choice to come to the table is very impressive. and people want to be part of that. it's very interesting kaylee a lot of the rainy and influenced being,

being exhausted in the region and we'll see how all of this plays out in the coming days and weeks. thank you gentlemen. we'll have a lot more to talk about in the coming as, as well. that's just about over main installs here today. but let's give you a quick recap before i go ahead a comp, the current arranging present abraham royce and the foreign minister has gone missing and bad weather conditions. and then most of the country around the chief of stuff says all available resources of being mobilized to find that helicopter president rice, who is on his way to the city of to breeze in northern, around near the border with as a, by john present. right. you see, within the region to end will raise with them and to hold troops with as a vice on the president. while there is still no confirmation on whether the president is alive, the government is asking people across the country to hold press for his safety. well, don't go away, i'll be back in just a couple of minutes with more about special coverage here on mount is here. stay with the

. this is the 1st seat in the field. there's this disconnect between what we are witnessing on social media versus what we're seeing on mainstream in the listening most covers have in use is covered. okay, foundation is deliberate, over $300000000.00. will suffice. emboldened $75.00 countries around the world, 100 percent of sec, thoughts, and emergency donation spence on projects. and we ensure beneficiaries come 1st of a $300.00 on luis, haven't had gone through the run for crossing in recent months. our most of these bless and the bless i'm, we all turning your donations into direct delivery in the shortest possible time donates with confidence the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the sectarian, this is terri of the scenes of unity within india as vibrant tapestry as election for the sweeps. the nations to childhood friends find their relationship unraveling as they pulled to opposing polls. can the friendship survive, the political divide and the world's largest democracy? india is fractured. witness pulmonologist. there is no channel that covers world news like we do. we revisit places in the states,

i'll just say we're really invested in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, the . ready the hello again, i'm the stalls you attain. this isn't use our life from the coming up. in the next 60 minutes. rescue crews in iran are working again. it's time to find president abraham. right. you see the helicopter, which crashed and bad weather. pricey and his foreign minister were on their way to the city of to breeze in northern iran, near the border with as a body shop around. supremely, the company says the country is praying for the president, the safety, and he's a shoulder radians not to worry about any disruptions to the states effect.
