good evening. there was a minute s silence in tel aviv today where a giant table was set for 240 people the number of hostages, israelis, and foreigners still being held inside the gaza strip. a minute s silence amid four weeks of intense bombardment and reprisals. the israeli defence minister yoav gallant says israeli troops are now in the heart of gaza city with one target in mind hamas. their infrastructure, their commanders, their bunkers. a month on from the terrible events of october 7th, gaza city is now cut off. the pictures show hundreds of palestinians, perhaps thousands on the move, most of them on foot. and many of them trying to get to the south, across front lines. not that the south is the safe zone, there were dozens were reported killed by israeli air strikes in the cities of khan younis, rafah, and deir al balah, which is well south of gaza city. the pressure is mounting for a humanitarian pause. barely 30 trucks made it in yesterday. but for now, it i
so it s been a real painful episode. this isn t just politics, this is seeing family members stuck, family members suffering. that s why it does get very emotional here whenever there s a move towards cuba by the united states and we ve been seeing a lot of moves and a lot of speed on an issue where really there hasn t been any movement in five tech aids, shepherd. you re right about that. again, the word is that the exhaust says that president obama has notified the united states congress of his intent to remove cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. it s possible we may hear from the white house on this matter and some on capitol hill as well. i m confident we will hear from others in south florida from the cuban dis dent population who will have a lot to say about this and we will bring you that with brett bare. we are following the newest two presidential candidates the former secretary of state hillary clinton and the
reporter: we re hearing that as many as 20 of them could have been a part of the navy s.e.a.l.s. obviously, many americans know about the navy s.e.a.l.s especially when it comes to the bin laden raid thp those were the guys who killed osama bin laden. not necessarily the same navy s.e.a.l.s that may have perished today in this province. this is a great loss. as you know, any american loss in afghanistan is a loss 31 american family members suffering, 7 afghan families suffering here as well. this is going to be a big morale boost for the taliban. these are the things they look for, the kind of motivation they send out. they re going to have propaganda videos going out to their fighters throughout the country motivating them to continue to fight. they ll be sending these messages across the border in pakistan where we expect many of the taliban commanders are currently stationed because of the month of ramadan. so obviously, a big morale boost for the taliban. they know by the end o
president karzai offered condolences to the president and well as the families. a statement released saying that the helicopter was, in fact, approaching one of their compounds in the province, this district southwest of kabul when the insurgents, the tapp taliba fired a rocket propelled grenade at the helicopter bringing it down. they lost eight of their own fighters but also claim to have killed 38 nato members. the number we re actually getting from afghan officials. we re hearing from afghan officials who say the investigation is under way. they are still retrieving dead bodies as well as pieces from the helicopter. can you put some perspective here, atiyeh, in terms of how big a loss this is and also i heard from an earlier report you said there have been reports, whether or not confirmed, this may have been members of the navy s.e.a.l.s? anything further on that?
