to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. all right. new this morning, an inside look at what is the war from the front line of gaza, from the military and moral standpoint and the standpoint of culpability. one hospital of the nearly 30 facilities is receiving patients according to the united nations. they are run ought of fuel and medicine and food. reuters provided video there outside of the al shifa hospital. we have seen video of reuters here of this, babies outside incubators in need of the incubators, and we have new information the idf has said they have offered incubators to the hospital, and they have released an audio recording of that offer. it does say that the hospitals need to be protected, and indeed the geneva conventions state that clearly, and the official explanation is that civilian hospitals are entitled to protection whether they contain patients or not, but it may under no circumstances be used for non-medical purposes. all right. non-medical purposes. what does that mean? again, from the official commentary on the geneva conventions, listen to this, the use of the ability to shelter able bodied combatants as observation post or as a shield for military action. now, remember, that both israel and the united states say that hamas is using hospitals to conceal command tunnels under al shifa there. and also to hide the weapons caches, and the idf released video from outside of the hospital there that they say is a hamas terrorists holding a rocket-propelled grenade launchersh and that right inside of this hospital. nic robertson is embedded with this israeli group is right here at this rantisi children's hospital, and he said this hospital hid weapons and tunnels and more. watch. >> reporter: driving into gaza with the israeli forces, it is a war zone. the conditions of the access only show officers and no faces of soldiers and they don't show sensitive equipment. we are passing mile after mile of destlung. buildings blown, collapsed, and nothing untouched for the hunt of the hamas. the buildings collapsed back to sand. and no sign of civilians here. a few miles in, we pull up to a command post, and soldiers blown apart at apartment buildings. it is hard to know how civilians endured bombardment here. the next journey is deeper into gaza, and we arrive 100 meters to a battle with hamas. tanks blasting targets in nearby buildings, and the idf's top spokesperson waiting for us. >> we know there an operation inside of the ratifi hospital. >> reporter: they are facing destruction over the loss of homes and the shockingly high death toll, and in the last few days the apparently heavy handed tactics at hospitals. >> we are looking to reveal the tunnels that are underneath the hospital. >> reporter: he has brought us here to show us the connection that he says exists between hamas and the rentisi children's hospital. >> we are now here in an area between a hospital, a school and a terrorist house. >> reporter: a hamas commander lived there and he points out the solar panels on the roof. >> this is a tunnel here, and this is more. >> reporter: this is the ladder going down. >> yes, this is the ladder going down and this a 20 meter tunnel. >> look at this. look at the tunnel. you can see it here. look down here. these cables are going down to the tunnel, okay. >> so they are hard wired. >> i wanted to show you the solar solar panels on the top are providing electricity right here. >> reporter: and you hear the small arms fire as they are clearing the materiel out as we are taking fire, and you can smell what is perhaps rotted flesh underneath the rebel. he told us that he took a huge risk bringing us into the combat zone, but it is clear he wants this story told. as we reach the hospital, it is already getting dark a. huge hold has been blasted through the walls into the basement. why is the hospital so damaged? >> i will explain. we came to this hospital five days ago. there was still patients inside of the hospital, and we did not enter into the hospital. >> reporter: he claims since then all patients were evacuated by hospital staff. >> we assist the evacuation to make a safe pass for all of the patients in the hospital, and we don't know if the hospital is entirely clear. we only entered into this area which was suspected, and because we are being fired at. >> reporter: he leads us through a corridor. >> this is the armory. >> reporter: this is the hamas armory. >> he shows us rusted guns. these guns alone have huge implications for the gaza hospitals and israel's push to take control of them. >> reporter: the international red cross say that hospitals are special protection under humanitarian law in a time of law, but if the militants store weapons there or a place of storage, that is no longer protected. then he shows us where the attackers were near october 7th, and evidence that the hostages could have been held here. >> we are here some areas near the motorcycle. we see a chair, and we see a rope, and here is a woman's clothes, and a woman's something covering a woman. >> reporter: you think that a woman was tied up in this chair. >> reporter: thisis an assumption to be checked with dna. >> reporter: and this is a location below the hospital. by showing us this the connection between the terrorists and possibly the hostages, what does that say about other hospitals here in gaza? >> hospitals are known to be a terrorist hub, and it is suspicious in holding hostages, and this is the best machine of hamas. >> reporter: but the authorities have no knowledge of hamas and other groups inside of the hospitals? >> it is not possible for hamas to know this, and we knew that the terrorists were here. >> reporter: how? >> because we got intelligence from this area, and we were right to fire, because what we found in armory. >> reporter: so much damage around here. >> there is, because hamas made it impossible to fight, and they built in all of these infrastructure in tunnels and in hospital, and around areas populated. >> reporter: as we exit the hospital, it is already dark. we are getting ready to leave, and the firefight is intense and explosions and going up the street here. >> reporter: this war and the controversy surrounding it are far from resolved. >> reporter: and even now nightfall here a evening later after we left gaza there, and looking into gaza if you can shoot over there, you can see a big plume of black smoke coming up, and there was a huge explosion there, and just a couple of minutes ago, and we could hear the shock waves there, and it is the second time that location has been hit, and we don't know what is happening on the ground, and this is part of the picture here, because you don't know what is happening on the street, but when you are inside of there, you get the first-hand look of what you saw, and you get a sense of just how hard the fight is in the city, how much destruction is happening, and of course, all of the questions of why and what about the people and when even and nobody is really asking this question yet, but when can they come back to places so badly hit. john. >> nic robertson to you and your team, it is such an important perspective to see that firsthand and for you the show us what you did to risk your lives to give us that look. we thank you for that report, and please, continue to stay safe. kate. >> days, hours, minutes, and time is again running out for congress to pass a funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. any moment, house speaker mike johnson is set to speak with reports about this, and the house speaker is in the same position over the last one who was in the same one. johnson like kevin mccarthy before him, house speaker needs democratic votes, sond and so ws going to happen with this mess? lauren, what are you hearing in the hallways? >> yeah, aim standing outside of the democratic caucus meeting which is ongoing, and leader jeffries left, and he said they are still evaluating the terms of this short-term spending deal. the good news for democrats is that there are no spending cuts inc included, and no poison pill, and they are evaluating the bifurcated dates, and the realty that some of the government funding will run out january 19th, and other government funding is going to run out the 2nd, and so he is looking at the impact on the american people, because number of the house democrats coming out of the house meeting with sounds upbeat about the proposal. and pramila jayapal who is the leader of the house progressive caucus says she wants to meet with her caucus about what they think about the proposal, but she said, it is a major victory for democrats that spending cuts were not include here and she is considering that as a major win for the party and something that she could likely get behind. she said she just wanted to make sure that other progressives in the caucus felt that way before saying is for sure that she would support this. and so you have a sense that the democrats know that friday is coming up quickly, and thanksgiving is around the corner, and nobody wants a government shutdown and while it is not the proposal that every democrat hoped for and one that democrats would have written themselves, they are sounding open to backing it despite that jeffries said that we would have to wait and see what happened on the floor. >> we always have to wait and see. that is the fun of it all. and now, if democrats are upbeat, does it mean that republicans should be or is this a rare moment of partisanship, john? >> well, let's find out, shall we? with us is a congresswoman mand so, let me ask you. how will you vote on this plan when it comes to the floor later this afternoon, and will you support keeping government open this time? congresswoman, can you hear me? >> hi. can you hear me? >> hi, yes. it is a television miracle, and let me ask you quickly in case we lose you again. how will you vote this afternoon, a listened you vote to keep the government open? >> i will, because it is the responsible thing to do, and there is not much appetite here from the republicans or the democrats to see a shutdown right before the holiday season. and also, we just have to be able to extend the current funding level so that way we can continue our work in the appropriations. as you know, the house has passed 7 of the 12 bills, and the senate has passed 3 of the 12 bills, and we need to be able to make sure that we complete the work that is needed to be done, and we simply need more time, because we lost three weeks when the eight republicans and the democrats had voted our speaker out, and brought us to a standstill. >> so the house freedom caucus which is the republicans have just come out against this spending plan, and how do you feel that more democrats may vote for this than republicans? >> the reality is that we have a very slim majority in the house, and the senate is facing same reality. we have to work in a bipartisan manner where we can, and if we are not going to getti agreemen among the republicans. what we want to do is to have individual passage of the spending bills, but because those few members voted to remove our speaker, we lost three weeks' worth of time to pass those spending bills, and we have to do what we can to keep the government open to continue the process. we are all in agreement though that we will be able to save money in the long run, and we will be able to cut wasteful excessive spending, and put in better policies if we do it the way it is meant to do and the founding fathers wanted us to do it by issue by issue as opposed to jamming through the massive omnibus spending bills at the end of the year and that we have stopped which is the good news. >> and given what the small republican caucus has done, are the democrats willing do. >> i will work with anyone for the american people, and avoiding a shutdown is the most important thing. and look, there are many times we agree as well. we agree to cut wasteful spending, and we have a $33.5 trillion debt, and we have a 1.7 annual deficit, and we have issues who has downgraded us once again as well as fitch. so we have to address the issues, but we need time to do it, and this is going to give us the three to four weeks necessary to pass the remaining bills so we can then go to the senate and negotiate. i think that what the freedom caucus sometimes misses is that we are one part of a federal government that is mostly controlled by democrats. we only control one-third. so when you see us at the negotiating table, we are not going to get every single thing that we want all of the time, and we can't be threatening a government shutdown when we don't get every single thing that we want. the number one priority is to get a border secure, and we have very concerned about the unsustained flow of individuals and fentanyl and the sex abuse that is occurring at the border to use this as lev rablg to get some of the things that we want at the long term in this fight in january. >> congresswoman, leading presidential candidate on the republican side is former president trump at this side who is facing several criminal cases and one in new york city where you live, and he reposted something on social media that said, quote, my fantasy, i would like to see alyssa james and judge engoron under arrest for harassment. and so he is calling for arrest of their arrest, and how comfortable are you for that heat and rhetoric? >> i would not have taken it that far, but i believe that letitia james is politicizing this issue, and i would like to see her going after the drug cartels that are poisoning the children in new york city, and going after the biden administration for the open border that is affecting the city to the point that the mayor is saying that it is destroying our city. and others who have sued our city for not taking action. this is politically motivated unfortunately, and she could be spending her time doing other things, so that is my difference of opinion would be there. >> congresswoman nicole malliotakis, thank you. >> thank you. tens of thousands of people are expected to rally in d.c. to support israel and condemn anti-semitism. officials say that the security at the event is at the highest level. plus, former trump allies who cut a deal with the prosecutors in georgia are revealing plans of overturning the election. one trump former attorney said that he didn't plan to leave office no matter what. in any minute, we will hear from president biden about a new $6 billion plan to fight climate change. all right. i wanted to take you straight to capitol hill and listen to house speaker mike johnson. >> i agree with our friend prime minister netanyahu who said it is a battle between good and evil and light and darkness and civilization and barbarianism. we will continue to do that, and you is seen the still shots and all of the rest. they were as was said, to kill, rape, maim israeli citizen, innocent citizens, families, small children, the elderly, and they want the annihilation of israel, and it is demonic. and the middle east is a tinderbox, and we know that. we have to try to prevent further escalation and it is imperative to send this aid to israel immediately, and show the rest of the world that the acts of terror against the allies is not just met with unflinching condemnation, but with steadfast support. it is in our national interest to do so, and everyone who looks at this objectively has to agree it is true, and in the acceptance speech three weeks ago i said a strong america is a strong world, and we are the beacon of freedom, and right now, we need to act like it. we call on the senate colleagues and the white house to get that completed. we have the cr today and you will have questions about that, and we will go to a few of them. >> plchl -- >> go ahead. fox? >> mr. chairman, how many of the mem members that did not agree and then ultimately bounced kevin mccarthy, and then you get this c.r. and doesn't that undercut -- >> no, chad. this is an important innovation and this is explained earlier, as long as i have been in congress, we have governed by o omnibuses for years, and it is a railroad, and this is because congress is addicted with this deficit spending. there is a c.r. that goes right up to christmas break and jam upon us thousands of pages of legislation that no one has a chance to adequately read through and digest or amendment or anything else. last year it was $1.7 trillion and with a few hours' notice, and then they sprinkled a few extra million on top that no one vetted. we cannot do that. moody's has down graded the credit rating, and two weeks ago, the treasure sthad we have to borrow $1.5 trillion to keep the federal government going, and we cannot do that anymores and the ladder, and the two-step cr and everyone is calling it something else, but it is something that we have to do to change the way we are doing, which is not an omnibus spending bill, and this is a gift to the american people, and it is a stewardship, and it is the effects of bidenomics, and we have to change it. i believe that there is going to be bipartisan support to break it up into two tranches for the bills to allows us to go through the deliberative process in good faith, and i will take everybody to do it in good faith to do it, and it should have been done before. >> but the concern is of the caucus and the freedom caucus has put out a -- >> i am one of the conservatives, but as we have the votes right now, we don't have the votes to advance that. so we have to avoid the government shutdown, and we have to avoid that because the troops wouldn't be paid and all of that, and the majority leader said, this is going to allow us to go into the next fight, the next stages to talk about real border changes, and policies to close the southern border to get it under control, and talk about the oversight necessary on the additional ukraine aid, and to get israel done if they don't do it, and the other matters in the supplemental matters to have stringent fights on policies and cuts. >> to follow up, a number of the republicans are going to follow that to avoid the government shutdown, but there are concerns from those who are not, and what do you call the members who say it is a mistake and a surrender? >> we are not surrendering, but we are fighting. you have to be wise of choosing fight, and the fights that you will win, and we are going to do that. you will see the house stand on the principles, but the shutdown would occur november 17th. it took decades to get into this m mess, and i have been on the job for weeks. so i can't turn the air carrier around in weeks. so looking at the c.r. change is an important innovation, and it is going to change the way that things are changed. let me go to manu real quick. >> and you are extending government funding and not including spending cuts, and the democrats are going to need that to carry that, and kevin mccarthy lost his job over that, and this is going to make your speakership any less concern about this. >> and kevin should take no blame for that, and he was in a difficult situation when that happened, but this new innovation that the democrats initially thought that it was frightening is going to change the way we do this, and so it is a different situation, and we are taking it on the the new year to finish the process and get back to original way that this is supposed to work, and by the way, the house republican conference is committed to never do this again, and we are done with the short-term c.r.s and done. so what you will see in the beginning of this next year, we are walking and chewing gum at the same time, and we are going to get this on time as it is supposed to be under law. there are specific provisions to do this. and congress has not done it as long as we ca
