tonight. now there are like ten on it. i will get it done eventually. >> so by december 25th, you will have the last ornament? >> all done. the next hour of "cnn this morning" starts now. ♪ good morning. welcome to "cnn this morning." it is sunday, november 12th. i'm amara walker. >> i'm victor blackwell. thank you for joining us. here's what we have watching this morning. an evacuation corridor is open near allison chinchar as intense fighting contithat area. >> house speaker mike johnson unveiled his plan to keep the government open, but will it get enough support to avoid a shutdown in just days from now? the next critical step in the process and why some republicans are saying they won't support the plan. two brothers in texas claim therm duck hunting when they shot two migrants who had just crossed the border. one of those migrants says that's not true and she is sharing her story with cnn. and we are learning more about the weight loss drug wegovy following the release of a major study yesterday. the potential benefits and what it means for patients coming up. we begin in gaza this morning where hospitals are facing a dire situation. >> the hamas controlled health ministry in gaza says three newborn babies have died at al shifa hospital since friday night when nearly shelling knocked out a generator. idf says it's been engaged in heavy fighting with hamas nearby but denies that hospital is under siege. the palestinian red crescent society says al coot hospital is no longer operational because of fuel shortages. also more foreign nationals have been allowed to leave gaza through the rafah crossing. a journalist working for cnn saw several evacuees arrive in egypt a short time ago. officials say more than 6,000 foreign nationals were in gaza at the start. month and since then as many as 2,000 have since left. meanwhile, israeli forces continue thundershower ground assault against hamas targets. the idf says of the fighting focused on locating and destroying the tunnels that were built beneath gaza. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has rejected international calls for a ceasefire in gaza. in a televised speech, netanyahu doubled down and said that the battle against hamas will continue with all our force, with all our might. cnn's jeremy diamond joins us from israel. this morning the israeli military offered to evacuate infants and other patients from gaza's largest hospital. do we know if that has happened or, if not, when it will happen? >> reporter: we don't know as it relates to the infants specifically. what we know is that israel offered a seven-hour evacuation window in order to evacuate palestinians from northern gaza, including specifically from al shifa hospital, which is the hospital in question here. what we know that yesterday three babies in that neonatal unit died as the hospital ran out of fuel to power a generator for that specific unit. we are told that the other babies in that unit were moved outside of their incubators to a different part of the hospital in order for them to move to a unit that does have oxygen. the israeli military says it will offer any assistance needed in order to evacuate those babies and as i said they have offered this seven-hour evacuation window. but it is clear that the situation is growing increasingly dire. not only at al shifa hospital where they are running out of medical supplies and fuel to keep their generators running, but also at the other hospital, it is no longer operational, according to the palestinian red crescent society due to a lack of fuel and running out of power. medical staff are making every effort to provide care to patients, according to the palestinian red crescent society. at this hour, that hospital is no longer fully operational. and they are pleading with the international community to find a solution for them to evacuate their patients. they say that they are surrounded, under siege by israeli forces. the israeli military denies that there is any kind of siege. it does acknowledge that there is very active fighting around several of these hospitals in gaza. as you know, the israeli military has previously accused hamas of operating one of the largest command and control centers below al shifa hospital. we have yet to actually confirm the authenticity of that claim, but we are seeing heavy fighting between israeli forces and hamas militants around al shifa hospital in particular. hundreds of thousands of people we know in recent days have taken advantage of that evacuation corridor provided by the israeli military in recent days to head to southern gaza, but we know that hundreds of thousands of people still remain in northern gaza as well. an international organization and aid groups are warning that people who remain in northern gaza are running out of essential services and having trouble accessing basic needs such as safe drinking water. >> thank you very much. and coming up on "state of the union," israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu joins dana bash for his first cnn interview since the hamas attacks and then as the u.s. says far too many gazans have been killed. dana talks to national security advisor jake sullivan live this morning at 9:00. joining me now kimberly dozer. i want to pick up on that point. we heard from blinken, who says that far too many civilians have been killed. you say that it's clear that netanyahu is not following the u.s. model in afghanistan and iraq, at least with the u.s. did, separating the civilians from the terrorists. insurgents we called them back then, if people remember that term during the iraq war. is it clear why this is happening? >> well, by watching what they are doing in gaza, it is different even than what they do in the west bank. they used an airstrike so far once in the west bank over the past several months to take out a facility underneath the mosque. now, you could say it's because hamas is so entrenched within the population in gaza that they have had to, obviously, undertake this kind you have operation, tso sweeping. but it feels like they have done this wfaster with more firepowe and heedless of the time it takes to evacuate a civilian population. now, of course, the israelis share with reporters the number of times that they have texted and called residents throughout the gaza strip because they can figure out who is in a specific location and find their phone number and call them directly and ask them to leave. but that hasn't gotten enough civilians out of the way. and what the prime minister has said and some members of his cabinet have said is, therefore, we simply need to press ahead because hamas is using these people as human shields and we have military objectives to carry out. >> the health ministry says more than 11,000 people have been killed in gaza. let's turn now to these cables that have been coming from u.s. diplomats in the arab world to the state department saying that this from amman, we are losing badly on the message battle space. wide range of trusted sober minded contacts say that losing -- this is losing us arab publics for a generation. beyond the protests, which we are seeing really beyond the arab world, a huge one, 300,000 in london yesterday, what the diplomatic cost, do you believe, of that losing the arab public for the u.s.? >> you have split-screen of reactions from the israeli public and the arab public. what the arab world is seeing on their television screens every day and most of us are seeing is the might of israel's firepower, slamming into civilian areas. yes, the reason is given that fighters are within these areas and they are there on purpose. from the arab world's point of view, that doesn't matter and it doesn't help when one israeli minister called this the palestinian gaza 2023 -- it's a word referring to when palestinians were forced out of areas that israel seized back in 1967. in other words, they are trying to flush the palestinians out of gaza permanently. another minister said that, yes, he would recommend using a nuclear weapon against gaza. now, he was disciplined, though he is still in government, but the arab perspective, that's what they're seizing on seeing, believing, and the u.s., by aligning themselves strongly with israel, will suffer the fallout in the near term. in terms of the safety of the u.s. diplomats and u.s. strategy and reputation overall, it's going to take a beating whatever happens on the ground. >> president biden and secretary blinken have warned netanyahu against reoccupying gaza. during the speech that we mentioned yesterday from the prime minister, he was asked about -- or after the speech he was asked about the palestinian authority and which has some control over the west bank. what about their taking political control in gaza? here is what he said. he says israel will be in full security control of gaza with idf's ability to enter whenever we want to kill terrorists who could reappear. he went on to say, there will not be a civilian authority there that educates its children to hate israel, kill israelis, eliminate the state of israel. what does that mean practically? does that suggest reoccupying? what would that force that meets these or this political infrastructure that meets these criteria, what would that be? >> it sounds like he is describing something that exists in parts of the west bank. there is a section a and a section b where the palestinian authority has control over civilian issues like water, municipal issues, water, electricity, local elections, which haven't been held for a very long time. but israel reserves the right to go in militarily to about after suspects, to handle the security of the areas. it sounds like that's what he is describing will take place in gaza because his own ministers and his extreme government have said they don't want an enter force keeping the peace inside of gaza, which some u.s. officials have suggested, and he is facing a lot of pressure to maintain his government. so -- and to maintain security after israelis have gone through what for them is a waking, living nightmare while all of us are seeing the videos daily of destruction and in gaza. they are reliving the terror of that october 7th shabbat. >> kim dozer, thank you. coming up. [ speaking in a global language ] speaker of the house kevin mccarthy is pitching his plan to keep the government running out of money. the attacks he is facing from his fellow republican party members. cnn talks to a mother after she was allegedly shot while crossing the u.s. southern border. the suspected gunman claimed they were hunting wild animals. the drug the doctors are celebrating because its doing more, according to a landmark trial, than just helping patients lose weight. people gathered nationwide to honor veterans. >> president joe biden spent veterans day at arlington national cemetery. he thanked veterans and their families for their service. >> we're the only nation built on the idea that we are all, all created equal, endowed by our creator with certain unailable rights. we hasn't always lived up to it. because of veterans, because of you, we never walked away from it. for throughout the annals of history, whenever and wherever the force of darkness has sought to extinguish the light of liberty, american veterans have been holding the lantern as high as they can for all of us. >> he honored his late son who was exposed to toxic burn pits serving in iraq and later developed cancer. >> this morning the u.s. european command is not revealing details about a u.s. military aircraft crash. the aircraft was carrying out a tranq exercise friday when it plupged in the mediterranean sea. officials said it wasn't related to the fighting in the middle east but haven't revealed a cause or if anyone was hurt. pope francis removed the leader of the diocese of tyler, texas. the vatican says conservative bishop joseph strickland undermined the catholic face. strickland challenged the pope's leadership over social media and even dared francis to fire him during an interview in 2020. strickland was reportedly asked to resign on thursday, but designed. cleaned. friday, another deadline to avoid another government shutdown. speaker mike johnson, bill number one, would extend funding through january 19 for specific programs. second bill would extend funding through february 2nd, including money for the rest of the government. >> okay. but not everyone is onboard. it doesn't include deep spending cuts pushed by some republicans and white house press secretary pierre called it a recipe for more shotguns. also doesn't include funding for israel and ukraine. hi there, kevin. tell us more about this bill because it is facing, obviously, opposition from the white house, from the senate, but also from within the republican conference. >> yeah. and the neuhw house speaker mik johnson spichd this to republicans yesterday. it would fund some agencies to late january, and then another set of agencies, a few weeks later to early february. johnson's objective in putting this forward was to ease concerns among some conservatives who railed against these massive government funding bills that fund the entire government. but the fate of this bill is very unclear. already you hear some hard-right republicans who say they oppose it because it doesn't include the steep cuts they are pushing for. the other side, you have democrats and even some senate republicans who say this two-tiered system is just untenable. and as you mentioned, it also doesn't include that funding for israel and ukraine that president biden has been pushing for. so yesterday the white house did pan this idea in a statement, the brandonpress secretary sayis a recipe for chaos and shutdowns, full stop. with days left before an extreme shutdown and after shutting down congress for three weeks after they ousted their own leader, house republicans are wasting pressures time with an unserious proposal. so certainly the white house not mincing words there. what is unclear is whether any democrats can get behind this bill. while it is unorthodox in structure, it doesn't include spending cuts or any major conservative priorities. the bottom line is that mike johnson will need some democrats if he doesn't get another republican support for this bill. guys, the clock is ticking. the government would shut down on saturday morning if nothing is passed. this bill could come up for a vote as early as tuesday. >> all right. kevin lip tag, we sound like a broken orderer, don't we?

>> mike took the shot. he believed that he was shooting at a javelina. >> reporter: jesus, a mexican father of two, died from a shotgun blast to the head. his family believes he was targeted because of his race. b a mexican mother of three, shot in the stomach. she says she and a group of migrants rushed towards this reservoir desperate for drinking water when the men drove up in a truck and parked here. the migrants tried to hide. casilla says she hid here. this is where her account and the shepherd brothers' story diverge. she says the brothers knew the migrants were human, screamed expletives in spanish, come out f-ing asses and fired twice. >> we disagree. >> reporter: defense attorney brent mayer says michael shepherd fired the shots from 150 to 200 yard away, that the brothers don't speak spanish fluently. >> you can see at sunset -- >> reporter: and the shooting happened at about 6:45 in the evening. >> at that time of night, there is no way that at that distance you would be able to see and recognize that those were humans. >> reporter: mayer's timing doesn't match casillas' account. what time of day was it? five or 5:30 p.m. she says this photo of heifer wound take moments after the shooting shows daylight. casillas says she recorded these voice messages. and walked for about an hour before calling 911. investigative reports usually close the gap between dueling accounts and the truth, but the probable cause documents say the shooting occurred at 7:00 p.m. the death records say he died at the scene at 9:39 p.m. while the fbi and the texas rangers are investigating -- >> it is a hate crime. >> reporter: and lawmakers have called for a justice department investigation. law enforcement agencies would not discuss the case and prosecutors have not filed formal charges against anyone. do you think it was racism? the father said the brothers are racists and points to a 2018 report alleging michael shepherd used racial slurs while he was the warden at a migrant detention center. the d.a. inspector general investigated and found no wrongdoing, clearing him. did your clients fire these shots with racism or hatred? >> absolutely not. i mean, again, how can you be racist or have hatred when you are to out there thinking you are shooting at some wildlife? >> reporter: casillas says she is learning to live in constant pain. she said she asked god, why her? she says it's simple. the migrant killed, jesus sepulveda, was her rock during the journey. and she is his only voice and chance at justice. i talked to one other migrant victim who said that this shooting happened during the day, which begs the question, how did these brothers confuse humans for animals? and if they were indeed hunting, did they go out and check what they had hunted? i asked their attorney these questions and he maintains that the brothers did not know that the migrants were humans and he says that after firing the shots, the brothers did go and check on what they had allegedly hunted and so they didn't report the case to the police. rosa flores, cnn, houston. still ahead, in the spirit of unity, jews and arabs working together to provide to a community in israel that feels lilike they hahave been foforgo. we want to show you in. arabs and jews working happened in hand to help an outlying group in israel. a nomadic arabic tribal culture who live in the desert. >
