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
hi, everyone. thanks for joining me. i m omar jimenez sitting in for fredicka whitfield. we begin with heavy shelling and fighting in gaza putting emergency centers in emergency situations. the red crescent society said gaza s second largest hospital is out of service due to the dep please of supplies. israel defense forces say they re enabling safe passage from gaza s hospitals, but medics say it s too dangerous to leave because of intense fighting. with civilian casualties mounting, today israel prime minister benjamin netanyahu told cnn the lives lost fall squeri on the shoulders of hamas. i think any civilian slos is a tragedy and the blame should be placed squarely on hamas. it prevents them from leaving the zone. the other day, to prevent palestinians from leaving harm s way, it puts rockets inside schools, hospitals. it has tunnels below children s beds. this is what we re dealing with. so obviously we can t give them i m munlt. today for the first time since thurs
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.
