12:02 am
average reports on the search operation underway in northern iraq. so this may be the last known video of your bronze president abraham race. he attended, and you know gratian ceremony for to dance earlier on sunday, near the border with as there be john, along with that countries leader in seattle, this damn can provide very safe transit for goods for passengers and taurus, given how seriously the work is being carried out i think it will take less time than originally estimated, which was almost 3 years. just hours later, an accident involving the presidential helicopter was reported to aircraft gerin, grace, and foreign minister, who's seen i made up the law. he on vanished while heading to the city of debris is in the northwest of ron. to helicopters from the convoy reportedly landed safely. but the 3rd carrying gracie crashed in bad weather. rescue teams are searching the area,
12:03 am
but heavy fog is entering. the rescue efforts doesn't alter only develop mosley. some hopeful news that we have is about to we're able to speak to 2 passengers on that headed club. so with the president and the stablish a connection with several of the shows that the level of difficulty was multiples of launch. because 2 of the people on board kind of cop to were able to speak to us on multiple occasions. the supreme leader, ayatollah ali, coming a has expressed his concerns about the missing helicopter, but a short one, destabilize the country, and the moon tissue. i'm lucky in genesis the, 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. the
12:04 am
status of those on board is still unknown. the story, these are calling on the rainiest to pray for the president. access i'm of which out is there are, let's cross slide to now to wrestle. sarah, who joins me from toronto and russell. i understand from comments made directly to how to 0, the, the search and rescue teams a honing in on a signal coming from the cross side. what more can you tell us? indeed they have been uh, there'll be some statements to us seeing that they haven't received a signal from one of the phone in the had a carpenter. however, this or so saying that the rescue team still did not reach the had a cop there. so they're also saying that the radius of the circle for asian as president t, brian, but he's, he's had a couple of cash side is now reduced to 2 kilometers. but just let's remember that they have been saying this seems hours that they are to kilometers close to close
12:05 am
to the crash site. however, that's just not the scene that still, they could not manage to reach to the, to the crash. how they cropped her yet, that also the, one of the executives off the president's team must see massively. she said that right off the crash that would be in 2 phone calls made to a people on the helicopter. they have contacted some of the alternatives about due to this and they had to spread the connection to reconnection. they could not understand what was exactly happening on, on, on, on the ground. so we had to carpenters today in the morning after the integration of ceremony or for damage in it and at the the runny nose that'd be on the board or they took off. and one of them was a carry and present the behaviors that you see the for the minister officially and ended up to lie young. and also that the, the, the, the local government or east, as of a john province center, had to go up there safely, landed in the city office deputies. but that they're,
12:06 am
that they're headed off to douglas kerry and the president, the, for the minister at the local governor. it has crashed in a close to a cool corporate mines cooled us on going, which is taking place between jewels and who has it guns roughly around 100 kilometers away from the city, off temporaries. then right off the crash, there has been 2 st course that was the last communication, right. the thing to had to go up there on to teams on the ground, russell, the such a rescue is now behind on for many, many hours now. it began in sick fog in the day night is now very much drawing in please give us a sense of the challenges that search and rescue teams a a facing of the moment is they hone in on the crash side or indeed. so now they say that you run the risk of saying that more than 60 teams had been deployed to the area and it from different directions. they are approaching to the crash
12:07 am
side. but it has been 11 an hour since the crash happened. so according to the uranium sources that the crash happened at 1 30 pm local time in iran. and now it is after midnight. so 11 hours after the crash and they say that's 3 hours after the crash, which means 8 hours. but i tried, it was a go the rest your patients have started, but you're talking about the in a stream of the challenging terrain and also it stream of the challenge in better terrible the weather conditions as well. so it's a mountainous area. it is a good that so the forest and it is extremely been the now in the last 2 weeks we have seen several cloud version over them, the over the region. now now this is the own fault, heavy don't falls as well, and doing sort of these are seeing that that does rain is now turning into the snow . so the visibility of the site is quite limited. can all of this factors the terrain time the weather bad,
12:08 am
the terrible weather conditions are hand putting the rescue for them? now, it is night after midnight and they said that this weather conditions this, that weather conditions are going to continue frontier to modernize on. on monday night and so that's why the saying that they have never be they haven't been able to reach to the site or because of the to, to reach that crashed had to come through yet. but as i said, the saying that now the radius is reduced to, to keep all monitors over there. yeah, it sounds like di, conditions that the, the rescue team space at the moment, russell sorta into around. thank you. all right, let's take a closer look at the runs aviation safety record, and that would be at least 20 to the same to crashes since 2000. and according to a ron's aviation safety network, this is caleb holden, 1200 people writing and government officials and generals are among those who have died the play and carrying the sportsman just across across last year, getting one of his advises and back in 2006 and ministry jet crash killed
12:09 am
a commander of the revolutionary god, who most of the blame has been pointed at us sanctions, which has made it difficult would put new aircraft or even spat pods. and that's force around to ground molding off of its civilian aircraft. who during the hey, in the pseudo research areas are the hash him, he's coming around extensively for us. uh no, no. and if you've covered the wrong, you both say you live that given the check, it's a vacation history in the country. do you think a crash of this kind comes as any great surprise to people while it's not? that's a great surprise, but this is the president thought anyone and him being on a helicopter that's decade sold and such weather conditions know, gives a kind of a picture of how things could be for people. mean people of course, on a surprise, and we can see now from the streets of to ron,
12:10 am
how you for on mobilize to ray to gold for the president, safety and everyone actually is, is yeah, probably consent. you're making a 2nd point about the aircraft itself, decades old. yeah, this is a, i think by the 214. and that's why it's owned by the previous monarch shop around. so in the, like 19 seventy's. and after the revolution, it wasn't inherited by this, not many public, then it was used by the ministry, then it was a transfer to the presidency to. and given the fact that it's of the only one green, the actually in the run there is a, let me say there is a big problem with respect to operation and we solve the numbers. we just spoke about a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a nightmare. and not any one would want to. some people would prefer the writing maybe taking a call for 12 hours from one place to another. over taking that one hour and
12:11 am
a half played a flight, for example, or maybe taking a train for me to have on too much side, which is like 10 hours overtaking a plane for a an hour. because no one knows. i mean, how a trip is going to end, and this is mainly based on the idea that no spare parts. all the things the feet has a link. most of the planes are very, very old. of course, they try to renovate the rates. they try to manufacture that own iran made a spare parts, but it's not working. the best is very much from the rainy leadership is we always do the and whatever happens, whatever the consequences of this crash, it's not going to affect the stability of the state of iran. do you think that they are intense of pacing, given the poor safety record, irrespective of sanctions of anticipating some criticism from the public when the results of this class come out? while in general, the written, regardless of whether anticipating the radians in general are very critical in
12:12 am
reading and people in general. they have this critical thinking and critique goes, thoughts as to what the government to watch crime, but it is leading. now i think what the lead is trying to say here is that there is a system in the country and this system is not going to be affected. even if the president isn't there, talk regardless of the state on the president, but with, with the present or with the president, the system is going to continue on. iran went through such a similar situation in the eighty's on maybe within to within the yeah, between 19801981. 1980. the president, the 1st president of this dominic republic. what, how somebody saw that was last hacked by you, i'm khomeini and then they had to do another election, and then how much i was elected. and just after maybe few weeks of publish ios elected, who was the kid along with his prime minister and
12:13 am
a huge explosion. and then they have to do another election. but so this is not the 1st time that the president is harmed up. there is a situation that on the present and later on of course, with the death of khomeini and the election of, i mean i am so far as a president. also, that was the, wasn't the vacuum. and this is what come in. i started to say there will be no vacuum because that is a system and the system is, is the one who runs 0. how do you wash him? but he thinks okay, well let's uh, get him our bashaw. how does there a senior political analyst, he joins us from paris, low and clearly, a tremendous amount is riding on the results of what we will soon find out. what was the reasons for this crash? i'm clearly the message very much from the top, from the supreme leader. how many days the people shouldn't be anxious, they shouldn't be wired. there's nothing wrong with the state. what ever the situation we will essentially do with it, but it's slightly different. of course, this time,
12:14 am
given how popular everywhere i see is the man to to be the next supreme leader. oh, yeah, there's a lot of, uh, the interpretations issue. well, and there's a lot of disagreements about that as well. but he's just and if, in part because you, for the past, for 2 years, he's an indispensable product for many years, most the judiciary. but in that sense, he's not exactly the most of the curves, magically. there's a few when he sort of has the same concept of instincts of i'm and then i drive up to the doctor, bottom bass c or by the measure and he's not exactly likes by the force. in fact, uh, many of his detractors, you can find in the urban areas and i'm one of the lead,
12:15 am
some better for us to meet some saw supports in the country. but he is the daughter of the conservative hardcore deception that's associated with that's right. i'm having in the world, i like how many and with the division of the gods mix for you know, i feet for a faithful uh triangle uh, 41 and that's where the stability of the system is mostly maintained. and that's why goal. so whether there is a time, so there is that when i, there was already so it wasn't, i could be prosecute establishment to produce you ever use in regards new leaders. new 1st su 4 ministers i saw so far as has been proven to be so over the past 40 years. now a lot of 2nd serve and for ranking officials in the region, there are more than capable of taking on that. think about tracy, is that he's
12:16 am
a non commodity and that's why he doesn't, but i sit and continue with just a bit of the issue. i guess. and while i'm behind the scenes, a lot of calculations being carried around out across the region, particularly from close regional allies. so all is a ron, i'm thinking of course of as well. i'm thinking of, i'm also i'm thinking of of a proxy you say and you haven't and i'm syria. is this a reminder perhaps of how from child key relations are uh, between iran and other regional players, it will look, i mean, what happens over the past 34 decades is uh, those are the issues uh, improved or improved exactly. uh, 4 way or more or less maintaining the same, but we didn't really see much of other drawers from the start issues. in other words, the one has continuously expand it. it's influenced by to expensive. it's our neighbors
12:17 am
. it's like the service itself as original and it took a grant to join about an incident. it's very important to underlined that because it's not just sort of a brilliance or up or creativity of the receipt. but he was also very lucky over the past for, for decades. i've spoken to you earlier part, why did the admin fee and it's, it's the ability and why it has, if there's an input, once again, it has been lucky. with the one hand, it was a mark and destruction of the key rock, which is sort of the ones for most nemesis that out a long to expand further is rose expansionist general side, the policies in palestine and beyond, including this invasion of them and on. also gave the one, fortunately it's expensive tools that count dilution in the world over the past.
12:18 am
those in years give huge competing uh for the lawn to expand since the last to me i'm into syria and elsewhere in the region to so on an all american hip hop proceed in double standards where standard parker see is really dry oxygen. so in that question, i have inputs and some of i gave you the wrong possibility, the capacity to expand it. so source and the reason to do the nuclear program and expand this relationship was much on china garza so that's 3 gardeners all duration domestically, the poor economy and the solid black that'd be especially at one of each right mall on many sites is always mama shaw with the in paris well, reactions to they had a cup, the crash report again from countries in the middle east and across the world.
12:19 am
saudi arabia has expressed deep concern and has offered iran any assistance that needs you are paying commission has says it said it science of facing a satellite mapping service to aid the search for present, right. you see across us, following a request from iran, russia's foreign ministry, it says it is ready to extend the necessary help that the wrong requires and to aid it in an investigation of the reasons behind the crash and the spokes peasant for the us president has said that joe biden has been briefed on the situation. on that last point heidi jad castro is following developments from washington d. c. she joins us live. heidi, somewhat muted respond to some of us as needed and restrained as how i would describe it needs. because as you said, we have a statement from bite and spokeswoman saying that he has been brief, but there were no other details given. he is on a busy campaign day on the schedule. from the us state department were told that
12:20 am
officials are closely following the reports of this crash. now there has been no effort to speculate from us officials or, or add on any comment to this. obviously the us and iran have not had directed diplomatic relations since 1979. and any sort of information sharing would happen through an intermediary. so we would expect the delay and that information being communicated. i and, and you know, this is something that's happening in a very contentious time and us iran and way of relations. it was just last week that officials from both countries. net 3 intermediaries in oman to discuss containment of the israel gauze, a war. then of course, there are the us sanctions that iran says is crippled, it's economy. and of course, the outstanding iran nuclear deal that's been fits and starts in trying to restart
12:21 am
. negotiation have now appearing to fall off the table. so given all of that vol, a tile context and these pressing issues, us officials are again using restraint and not commenting further on this until there is more information about present rise, these fate. okay, heidi j. castro. we live in washington dc. many things as close to london now and to really mock suits for him. developments from the british capital jones as life and evelyn. and so a long standing friction, of course, between iran and the u. k. but you were paying commission saying it's prepared to step in and help you run. yeah. and the, the, the u. k. not commenting asshole so far. the dining street or the foreign office, the british foreign ministry. we've reached out to for common, nothing publicly from them. so far, the european commission, which is the executive branch of the european union, they have a number of commissions, with different specialties. the individual focused on crisis management that has
12:22 am
treated about 4 as i go there is the request from or on for emergency satellite mapping. they have a system called copernicus, but essentially allows them to monitor in real time changes to what the satellite imagery can see on the surface. and they say that using that to try and help identify that location, all the heavy cop to crash. that is really the or any public statement we've had from any european official lives, the cost of the last few hours, the rights and mondays, thanks to the update, the monks there in london. okay, yeah, let's take a closer look at some of the global reaction to these events. treat a policy is executive vice president at the quincy institute. he joins us live from washington, d. c. teresa, welcome to alex's era, costs over asking you what sort of challenges and problems uh, this incident poses were still, of course, waiting to to find more details around what has happened to the crash. what has happened to everyone, right. you see that clearly this impacts the next decisions,
12:23 am
do you any leadership makes are absolutely. if we assume that it's he understand and if you also assume that he was only just an accident and no foul play, the government will still phase 2 very, very critical problems. going forward one is that they're gonna have to have new elections within the next 60 days. that's going to be tough and certainly is going to be tough for them to have elections in which the population actually participates. the participation rate in the parliamentary election of just a week or 2 ago were extremely low in general, and it was only 7 percent. and this is largely because of the conservatives essentially made it impossible for there to actually be any real differences between the candidates on the balance is just a very narrow set of conservatives that are available one second. it's also force the issue of succession in which price it was the need to be at least a top contender for that. and what's the advantage of that process, particularly if there is a suspicion, perhaps not evidence suspicion that there was some file play involved here that
12:24 am
have something to do with rivals for that position be involved? is it possible to say precisely how much present, right, you see personally influence instead both domestic and foreign policy. and i think it's actually quite interesting to see that at the end of the day, i don't think he has been a particularly impactful president. and i don't think there's going to be any particular change. if in years taken off the scene, this will be made better for us as if it had been because it will only at the height of the new to negotiations. and he had died in the how the costs across it would have created a real crisis in terms of what the volume is to be able to continue negotiations in the same manner. mind some of the fact that will i was such a strong driving force of the it's not really clear what dr. a force, i go and raise. he has been any buying a particular decision. so in that sense and wasn't impact isn't that's the cause of
12:25 am
the road we played as president was much more. so in terms of what i just mentioned, future elections as well as this is going to disappear in leadership position. i want to reflect on the public sense. i'm in that in a ron if possible. because if the seems to be believe large numbers of people have been gathering for press harmonies, particularly in the city of mashhad, where abraham, right, right. you see was from how, how spontaneous do you think of these shows of concern, sympathy, worry forever and right you see are amongst the radians well i think the starting pockets in the society that certainly do support tracy and the government as a whole. but he bought as a very, very divided country and in the larger cities are less conservative, such as to ronald's quite clear that high support is much, much more minutes. but it wouldn't be wrong to assess that there are
12:26 am
a segments of society to do support. and i think what we've seen so far is probably quite organic and sporadic. but if he passes and we're likely going to see much larger crowds, but that will also be much more orchestrated in terms of a few knowledge. and i would also also about the extent to which ra you see has projected a sense over raining identity abroad. because even though you say his political scope is somewhat limited within the architecture, we're right in politics. it's still nonetheless travel to moscow to china, to states and latin america. i'm very keen to for july and seems without a so called non aligned states states, of course, like russia. they're also working hard to circumvent the sanctions. for instance. certainly i can, but we see now that there are a few years is that and band demands of the approach of thinking that there actually is a way for the west and move on to get along with that. the volumes of law states
12:27 am
that the west is capable of providers just say sanctions relief. instead, the strategy has shifted to were strengthening relations, not just with the eastern powers, the dishwasher and china, and global south powers in latin america, but very much still with regional neighbors. and we've seen the open data savvy very yeah. and other areas and what she's on has improve this relationship with its neighbors. but again, with a raise. yes. and a strong driving force is that is a different question. it's a been a support of it, but it's not. is it without having all this the process would come to an end. it'll be significant be dire. or i'd treat a policy executive vice president of the quincy and century. many thanks for joining us on our address here. thank you. it's still a heads here and i'll just say i'm full. have more reaction to the news that the uranium presidents helicopter has crushed and is missing. plus the scenes on the
12:28 am
beach and goes or is posting and scrambled to receive humanitarian age. the color we have plenty of showers bring up across much of your sort of like storms rumbling away. we go to an area of light pressure just around germany, fairly low showers a little further north with edy's was added a lot of the shots pushing down because a good positive from saint cloud. the live you showers will continue the trundle away. in this we go on through monday, then go some very went by this come across the western side of the met. it's radiant, good scattering, the showers wept. we'll see these things trying to get a little more unsettled. it's still pretty warm. of course, a good part of us can to maybe almost like 43 sales. this is cooler in stock home at around 17 degrees. oh sorry, hold on. so that hate it. as long as you drive to one or 2 sion i was just starting to show they had good scattering,
12:29 am
the showers across the hall talk here. some of them big and sundry could cool some flash flooding. or can we see some, a lot of the storms from time to time, then temperatures and athens to 32 degrees celsius, this, this southerly wind blowing in here, and that same southerly lifting temperatures, and triply to around 43 degrees. i somewhat weather this making his way across the fall north of algeria northern past opportunity. i think swing grounds that lose that southerly tripoli at around 29 sales. just meanwhile, seasonal shells doing nicely all the way along the southern coast of west africa. the climate play only is from one of the most bio diverse nations on your own interpreter. if nature does not function, we don't exist exploding solutions to save life as we know what we work with and within the cycles of the we not using office resources,
12:30 am
we use them again. and again. if we never from nature, we have a chance to move forward, i'll just see you as you've seen doing nothing grows forever. you will see a duty and a growth using for p use a cost to contribute to improving the lives of thousands in our projects except the cost and we strive to ensure it reaches its deserving recipients, visit the costs are requested. and remember, it's a cup you revise wells and increases systems costs on red chris of
12:31 am
the fuel watching out 0 is remind of our top stories this now and how the comp to carrying a randy and present it for him. right? you see, and the foreign minister has gone missing in bad weather conditions in the north of the country around chief of stops as or available resources are being mobilized to find the helicopter. present right, you see was on his way to the city of temper is in northern there were on the other forwarded with those a body shop. he was in the regents window grace of the time of the whole tooks reviews, every president around supreme anita at a time and a says he's praying for the president, safety as being 10 and uranium salt to worry about any disruptions to the states affairs that's introduced to bear on come bravo is a professor of government to georgetown university in casa, he joins his life from london. i just want to re, thanks for joining us. i just want to reflect upon the message coming from the very
12:32 am
top of the rainy and leadership. a reminder that protocol is in place should the worst happen. that's right. i think what somebody has done is to reassure the public that iran will continue with business as usual. the government, the government's business would be uninterrupted. and that law and order will continue to prevail regardless of whether or not president re see is in charge or whether or not who's alive. and of course us, we try to establish in the coming hours, hopefully when the search and rescue teams hone in on the crash site. what is exactly happened to the nature of this crash and what is the impact on the present? right. you see is, i wonder whether this reflects in any way badly though on the right hand leadership, for instance, the decision to fly and bonds, whether the decision to use
12:33 am
a helicopter that was so we understand for 2 years old that will come a time when serious questions will be asked no doubt. absolutely, and i think the, what we're seeing is an infrastructure any wrong which is in dire straits and a country whose has not been able to keep up with the industrial and took the logical demands of the times. and at the highest level of the countries leadership prices are being paid. and so i think there will be a significant amount of soul searching and answers that will be asked in due time. well, most critical question. so aust, how much of the blame for this crash will be directed western functions as
12:34 am
opposed to potential mismanagement tool crease the creaking infrastructure in the country along of what? obviously the, the political leadership will blame international sanctions and will blame the west in general. and the united states in particular, but we have seen that the country suffers also from a horrible mismanagement. and so the population will have one interpretation. and let's say that this is a problem in terms of poor decision making. whereas the political leadership will point its fingers at the west. and so what we're likely to see is why have any of the gap between the people on the one hand and the government event on the other person, right. you see one around 2021 president and selection of that, so i believe the lowest turnouts in the assignment, republics history. what does this say about abraham? right?
12:35 am
he sees popularity in the country. the right. see, it has not been a popular president by any stretch of imagination. the best estimates are that the government has something between 15 to 20 percent popular support, which means that 85 to 80 percent of the population doesn't support the government at least actively. and so we've seen this law major public having its lowest levels of legitimacy and it's 46 year history and of course, race, it was not a terribly popular present to them if he is indeed if he has power. ready in this price, his popularity might see a rise, but i sincerely doubt if his legacy will be one in which they run in public in
12:36 am
general. uh, we'll look at fondly. right now. i'm coming off a professor of government and a jewish on university even cast a live in london for us. a great to hear your thoughts on that, but he, thanks your time. thank you. the now there's part of the army is intensifying as an grand attack. so the noise to the south of the gaza strip palestinians a morning at least 31 people who were killed in an overnight strike on a house in the low threatened refuge account. women and children were among the dead and injured. they were taken to l. x the hospital, which is struggling to come stuff and the not a that's not enough. 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
12:37 am
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. and honeymoon made has more from the scene of the attack . we are at the side of this lawn residential home from overnight to talk and as you can see from the pictures, not only the targeted residential form has been destroyed completely, but the surrounding building just to stay at a great deal of devastation and damage to the point they are becoming uninhabitable . this particular residency house, 5 display as families evacuated all the way from the northern parts of the gaza strip all the way throughout the city. and as is really military expanded, is military maneuver and operations and rough uh this particular family evacuated and was pushed into further in for is this place been all the way to honda? and if it has not been on the site right,
12:38 am
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. this was like mentioned to him to military situation on the ground and gauze, who has been getting worse since, as ralph shot lam crossings into the stream. some supplies have been delivered by boat to a newly built american peer, but the pen trucks that of so far rode off stop here, only a fraction of what's needed. the crowds are seeing rushing toward trucks transporting a to the threat refugee camp and all the opponents of gauze are already experiencing simon and agencies of the crisis is now moving south. the white house
12:39 am
has acknowledged the aid coming through isn't enough. 6 of you and agency for policy and refugee says his work is being deliberately hampered by as well. or chief felipe last, i really made the comments during a press conference with the to damian foreign minister. you will have heard me over the last few weeks on so raising cl um on how's the united nation has been regularly unblocked and see disregard that in guys. a look at the number of stuff which had been killed, more than 200 stuff had been killed amongst them. 189 staff on the from on was 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. i'll try the united nation where in the south the and i've been killed. ones that
12:40 am
have been damaged to meanwhile, is there any settlers have again a time trucks carrying a to goes up this time it happened to the checkpoint near hebron and the occupied westbank. the recent a settlers, it'd be the looting, run sucking and destroying supplies made for posting is in need for the am i calling to reno vegas spoke to the un humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator mountain griffith. he says the story, the government has refused to open line crossings, despite repeated please by the un when very, very experienced humanitarian aid. but because of being an old times of places around the world for decades, when they go to gaza, to help, to serve, to work. it is traumatizing for them. so god help what it must be for the people, the gaza. it is really, really difficult and it's getting worse daily. yeah, in december you had said that up a fuck elliptic conditions in the south of the strip are blocking aid and ending any meaningful humanitarian operations. it's now 5 months later. and it's really as
12:41 am
have launched the military offensive and stuff. uh huh. and they also, uh, taken control of that border crossing, cutting off. but one of the most vital entry routes for 8 and 2 guys. so what has this meant for? they already die or humanitarian situation. the prediction is that many of us made 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 been just by smouldering 3 or 4 times already, many of them, no place to go, a 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 costing 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,
12:42 am
all humanitarian agencies is open those crossings. it's that simple. are you speaking to the is really is on opening up these land routes. and if so, what are they telling you? i mean, we see we're trying to picture the moments ago. some humanitarian aid has now been arriving by that us sponsors here off the coast of garza. but your office has said that this should not be a substitute for getting a through lance crossing snow and, and 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 touch from the warehouse. so it's the problems in gaza that really an always we have set out of the problem the security of distribution. we have also said keep land crossings open. we, we welcome to maritime pat. it's good to have trucks come in. we welcome is right, is opening threats up in the north, but it ain't enough. we meet with the is ready daily through co got the the
12:43 am
committee set up for this purpose. 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 and 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 being quite as difficult as it is today. demonstrate is have gathered in cape town, it to stand in solidarity with palestinians and the besieged because the strip they cool for an end to israel's war. and guys advocate filed a case against israel in january. you choose the country of committing genocide against palestinians garza so if it goes to foreign minister. now lady bundle spoke up, my protest said israel must not be allowed to continue. it's offensive and rough.

a ukrainian manufacturer. what will work with his issues to it is difficult for the enemy to defend against such strikes for several reasons. quite important, reason is the large territory that the enemy has to protect. the defense is capable of covering such a large territory from a massive drone attack. i think it will be tough for russia to save its economy from ukrainian drum strikes. sure to write instructions for use on the front lines . rules are constantly evolving. this is the newest model from gardens company breaks. it's never been filled by media before it can identify targets itself and then attack them. we've whichever of the 8 different types of munitions that it's built to carry. it's hard to overestimate how important drawings on now in this rule, for reconnaissance, for strikes around the front lines and for the tax on each countries infrastructure and energy supplies. they've really become integrity to this fight trainings to

12:49 am
month as an opportunity to seize more power and influence finance and organized crime. and mexico will be big themes and sundays presidential debate. the main question is whether the next head of state will manage to cub violence in the country by more rep out of the reports of mexico city. mexico is experiencing a search in vines protests against force disappearance, violence against women. and a soaring homicide rate are taking place regularly. security experts are warning that the current election season now in full swing, is creating a perfect storm for even more violence. the links, if in the he couldn't, couldn't see the all forms of violence in mexico have increased their can. all of them are recently political, electro valleys has grown more. the next president does not have a new plan. they weren't even more serious trouble than we are today. in just the last month, homicides in the country averaged $85.00 per day,
12:50 am
and attacks against candidates for elected office have been on the rise and the lead up to the 2024 election. and, and mexico, the vast majority of killings are never solved. many cases are never even investigated. i think we've come to normalize violence and it's no longer shocking to us. it no longer affects us to go on with our daily lives. and we no longer stop to analyze it, it no longer causes a so much pain. but these levels of violence are very cruel, very high. i an extremely serious as the presidential elections mere how to bring the cycle of violence to an end is a central issue on the minds of voters. and on sunday, mexico's leading presidential candidates will be asked that very question. during the 3rd and final debate before voters had to the polls on june, 2nd, though many are doubtful, the candidates will outline any concrete steps or we can see the whole. cuz he said, we're law whole debate. it's a spectacles and we're more focused on small details on facial expressions of what

the candidates are wearing the ideas that letter. so the last thing i would say is that i would like to know if any presidential candidate has any idea how to reduce impunity and i get the impression that they do not security experts say the strategy to combat violence has been the same since 2006, when mexico declared a war on drugs since then, the country has suffered nearly 400000 homicides with an average homicide rate 4 times higher than the global average. the stakes are high for mexico's next president. and the leading presidential candidates will be under extreme scrutiny to provide a roadmap to peace, or at least a plan that's different than the past 3 presidential administrations. when was it happened to alex's here of mexico city? the army in democratic republic of congo says it stopped and attempted to involving local informed finances in a group of on demand the tax. the home of the deputy prime minister in the capital contrast to the assignments fault with gods and
