we start this week with a little trip back to the classroom. everybody should be pulling up their presentation on one computer. today s lesson in miss gruetter s science class is something not every student in the us is taught. as the earth s oceans absorb heat due to climate change, sea water expands, leading to an increase in sea levels. how might those emissions from factories have an effect on climate? what are they actually releasing? this is an ap science class here at science park, and today the students have brought in their own group presentations. they re teaching each other about a climate change problem and solution. what s your presentation? our presentation is about the carbon emissions of extreme weather events. while these students study climate change, much of the nation could be learning from them. today s class is part of a unique programme preparing the next generation for our warming planet. this is science park high school in newark, newjersey, where
something hamas denies. for more on all this, i spoke with our diplomatic correspondent paul adams, who is injerusalem. thanks forjoining us. these reports coming out of gaza paint a grim picture of the humanitarian situation there. what more can you tell us about how hospitals in gaza are coping? well, with great difficulty. they are all pretty much surrounded in gaza city, because the israelis argue these are places where hamas fighters have based themselves, and consequently there have been intense battles going on around us hospitals. the israelis say they are not targeting hospitals per se, and they are trying to get the civilian populations that are clustered around them to try to leave, and also starting to think about evacuating the hospitals themselves, so that israel can concentrate on dealing with hamas. there is a small development on that front this evening. the israelis said tomorrow they are going to evacuate babies from the shifa hospital to a safer location.

a democracy should be compliant with international rules of war and humanitarian international law. and day after day, what we saw is a permanent bombing of civilians in gaza. we worked very hard to try to protect people, our people there, because we believe we lost more than a0 french nationals and we still have hostages. and when i speak about that, first i think about our families. but what happened during the past weeks is that we clearly saw that a lot of civilians were killed and there is no justification for that. and the clear conclusion of everybody yesterday during the humanitarian conference, from united nations to ngos, to all the governments being present, is that there is no other solution than first a humanitarian pause going to a ceasefire which will allow to protect these people, to take care of people being in hospitals and to protect babies, ladies, old people, all the civilians having nothing to do with these terrorists. and i think it s very important to
