100 minutes of horror, and the video obtained by cnn of the early moments of the october 7th terror attack from the view of a hamas militant and what it revealed of the hamas planning and israel's security. rudy giuliani claims he is going to take the stand in a case that the judge claimed that he defamed two georgia workers and he has millions of dollars on the line. >> and an ethics committee could release the long-awaited ethics report on george santos, and one thing that won't be there is a recommendation to expel him. i'm sara sidner with kate bolduan and john berman. and this is cnn "news central." there are new indications this morning that israel's ground offensive in gaza could be expanding to the south. leaflets were dropped wednesday on the communities to the west of khan yunis which warned the civilians to move to known shelters. in the north, the idf is now 36 hours into the raid at al shifa hospital. the israeli forces remain both inside and in the vicinity of the gaza's largest hospital. several humanitarian groups have questioned this operation as hundreds of patients and thousands of civilians are known to be sheltering in the hospital completion. there is new video of the idf showing weapons found inside of the hospital in the raid and promising more evidence of hamas's presence is coming. this morning john kirby reiterated that u.s. intelligence, has intelligence itself that hamas used the hospital as a head qquarters. >> we are confident that the basement areas underneath the hospital, and the hospital itself is being used by hamas as a command control mode. >> so from the united nations, a new call for an immediate and extended humanitarian pause in the fighting in gaza in order to try to get humanitarian aid in for civilians in need. this is the first adoption by the u.n. security council since the hamas attack on october 7th, but what does it do? we go to nada bashir in jer ruse l -- jerusalem, and this is not the first resolution, and what does it do? >> this is considered a breakthrough in the weeks of bitter negotiations but as we heard from the u.n. ambassador as a resolution passed by 1 countries as meaningless and disconnected from reality that israel has been acting completely from the humanitarian laws, and experts are warning that the violations committed by israeli against palestinians are genocide in the making. of course, they have rejected this resolution calling for a humanitarian pause despite the pushes from the international lies including of course messages from the u.s. officials, and now, of course, the united states abstained from this resolution. we heard from the human watchers and the u.n. director yesterday describing this decision of the united states to abstain from the voting on this resolution as a wake-up call to israel that even the allies are now expressing concern that we are seeing unfolding inside of the gaza strip. as we know, as the bombardment continues across the gaza strip, and the focus around the hospitals, and in particularly the gaza largest hospital al shifa, there is the mounting concern for the civilians and those inside of the hospitals, the patients and the medical staff. now, a key point of concern is this ongoing concern around the evacuation routes, and this resolution is calling for a long pause for the rapid and unhindered access of those groups to provide emergency aid to those in gaza, and we heard from joe biden saying that he had pushed benjamin netanyahu for a pause longer than three days. of course, we know it has proven very, very difficult for civilians in northern gaza to evacuate southwards, and there is a mounting concern for the situation in the south, and the reports of the leaflets falling on communities around khan yunis warning the civilians to take shelter in known shelters and the safe zone established or outlined by the israeli military may not be safe for much longer, and important to underscore here, we are seeing the air strikes continuing here near the south. kate. >> thank you, nada bashir. sara? >> we have breaking news to share, and we told you that the health ethics committee would release a report on george santos. it has happened and manu raju is on the house hill, and what is releasing in that report and they are saying they won't expel him? >> it is a devastating report detailing conduct and misconduct that the house ethics committee has found after months of investigation into the freshman from new york's conduct here and raising serious concerns about george santos' future in the house. it recommends action from the justice department, and remember that george santos has been indicted by a separate case, and he has plead not guilty to that, but this separate probe, this house probe threatens him as a member of this body. what this, and i want to read you some lines from this report that came by and it is more than 50 page, and we are digging through the evidence, but the top lines are devastating for the new york republican. it says representative santos sought to fraudulent exploit every aspect of his house candidacy for his own personal financial profit. he stole from donors to what they believed were contributions to his campaign, and they were payments for his personal benefit, and he reported fictitious loans from his own donors to make donations to the camp campaign, but he diverted it to his own personal needs. he used these campaigns to obtain additional funds for himself for fraudulent and business dealings. and there is questions into his background and a series of lies to his constituents and donors and staff about his background and experience. now, the house ethics chairman said this would not recommend any course of action for the house to take, and the members would have to take for themselves there, but this is going to provide more information for those who would need some more information. expect a vote when they come back, and 2/3 majority to kick him out of the house. there is an effort to kick him out, and that failed because a lot of the members wanted to wait for this report, and if santos is expelled from this chamber, it would be the sixth member in american history to be expelled from the house. the first since 2002 when james traficant was expelled. and we will see, because he has not plead not guilty and responded, but really this bipartisan committee is detailing conduct that a lot the members are going to be concerned about. and how they vote is going to be coming in the days ahead. >> it may not be a court of law, but it is a damning report. and it was sent out by the chairman of the ethics committee. one thing they say is that they will use this and refer this substantial evidence they have gathered of potential federal criminal law to the department of justice, and what are you hearing on that front? >> yeah, look, that is one of the things that the committee sometimes does is as it investigates how to proceed whether to go ahead and refer things to department of justice for further investigation. remember, he has been indicted. the question is going to be how much additional evidence has this panel uncovered that perhaps the justice department did not include in the indictment. we will have to dig into that. i had a chance yesterday to talk to some of the members including the chairman of the ethics committee who explained why it would not have explicit recommendation for expulsion and some of the members who are ready to kick george santos out of the house. >> we were to make, the ethics committee were to make recommendations for sanctions is, it would have carried out well into next year and maybe into the end of next year, so we are not going to be making any recommendation to the house, and this is up to each individual member. >> the people of his district need representation, and they are not getting it right now. clearly he has a lot of issues, and he needs to go home to solve. >> i take whatever comes my way, and i don't have any concerns or premeditated feelings on this. >> and that last comment from congressman santos, and he keeps saying we will see what happens, and what the report says, and he would not say he would accept the findings. and he has had this report since yesterday, and knows what is detailed in this, and we will see, but we are learning so much more about this report as we are digging through it, and i wanted to read you one more line. representative santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his candidacy for himself. and but for the indictment from the justice department, he took donor credit cards to essentially try to buy personal goods for himself. he has not plead guilty for that offense, but there is devastating evidence in this report for the freshman congressman. >> stick with me, manu. we will bring in the punchbowl co-founder john bresnahan, and what do you think of this? how is that is going to be landing on the hill? >> i was listening to manu. i think this is enough to begin the exsmpulsion process. they don't have a trial date scheduled until september of 2024, and this is going to outrage a number of members on the hill, and you will see the delegation members, and who tried to expel him recently, and say, look, there is enough here. he can have his day in court, but as a member of congress, his tenure should end now. just the allegations here are pretty blatant and that he did not cooperate at all. he was given an opportunity to speak to the investigative subcommittee or the special investigative committee, and they appoint members to do this including two members who are not on ethics, and he didn't do it. that is enough to convince a lot of members, yeah, he had the chance, and he did not take advantage, and we should take a look at expulsion now. >> the first line, and there is a lot that manu was detailing, but the first line in terms of the findings. representative santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his house candidacy for his own personal financial profit. there is a lot more than that, but that in itself is truly damning. there is always talk, bres, of what the teeth of the ethics committee has, and what impact and mark they can leave on a member. this is going further than what we often see. >> oh, yeah, i have read dozens of these things over the years, and this is extraordinarily explicit for the ethics committee. this is a duty that no member wants to have. they don't want to serve on the ethics committee. it is not a criminal body, and it is not set up for that, and it has subpoena power, but it is not a real investigative body or law enforcement agency, but it is a member who sits in judgment of their colleague, and they hate it. they are circumspect, and they are saying that he just stole from everybody, and he used his whole campaign to profit himself personally. that is what he was in politics for, and that why he ran for congress, and kind of an accidental congressman in a lot of ways, and them just saying it blatantly, a lot of the members are going to hit him between the eyes, and think of taking some action about this. >> you is the new york delegation, and they have been scathing in their criticism of him from jump on this as we know. and part of it is that what it means from the slim republican majority, and the sense is that the new york delegation, and the new york republicans were waiting to see how this reportlanded amongst the other members before they would try to move again, and what is this going to look like again? >> this is going to be enough, and guys like mike lawler, they don't like santos, and they don't like what he represents, and this is a political problem for them, and it is a personal issue for some of them that way he behaves, and you know, he's, it is hard to even describe. >> all of the things. and i mean, it like it would take us minutes to go through the lies in the background and what he has done since, bres. >> oh, my, and even the way he carries himself when he is up there. and manu was there the day when he, you know, they were doing the speaker elections, and he was running around screaming by the cameras. i have never seen in 30 years of covering capitol hill, i have never seen anyone act like this, and it is hard to put in words how he is pretending to be a congressman. this is going to be -- and i think that there are a lot of members saying that we are waiting for ethics, and the justice department subpoena indictment out there, and the superseding indictment, and a lot of allegation, but he has never been in court, and this is, he had a chance to go to ethics, and this is a problem that he didn't. a lot of the members are going to want to act on that. >> the one move that might have tipped the scales is that he didn't take a chance to defend himself in front of the ethics committee. thank you for jumping on, bres. appreciate it. john? >> pouring through the report, and so much more ahead. so much more in there. new video obtained by cnn of how the october 7th attack unfolded with 100 minutes of terror from a camera that a hamas attacker was wearing. and joe mamanchin's owown w. all right. with an estimated 239 hostages now the 41st day in captivity in gaza, this morning we have an cnn exclusive and previously unseen perspective of the horrors of october 7th. when the hamas launched the attack day, many of the hamas attackers were wearing go pro cameras. it shows 100 straight minutes of terror, and warning that some of this is very graphic. our oren liebermann reports. >> reporter: an explosion. before dawn on october 7th. the time is here and the attack is under way. a alou allahu akbar, god is great, they say. they are headed to the kibbutz, and the sun is up in a day that will reshape the region has begun. this video comes from the body cam of one of the terrorists who took part in the attack. it was obtained exclusively by cnn and the israeli defense forces and for first time we are seeing the video of inside of the tunnels before the attack. it is a network of tunnels with what appears to be supplies before the attack in darkness. in arabic written on the walls is far worst. the gunman fires the first shots. go on man, go on man, he screams. they stop on the way, and more than a dozen militants are gathered here to prepare for the next assault, and one has several rocket-propelled grenades on his back. minutes later a group advances across the open field moving towards the village. the gunman charges the last bit and spots an israeli soldier on the ground. others join in celebration. moments later, he is more composed as he turns the camera on himself, and he says his name, and he is 24 years old and a father, and he killed two israelis soldiers and asks god for victory and deserved ma mart martyrdom. they go along nearly empty roads. the man cheers as he sees bodies on the road. his is not the first wave. he rounds corner. here we have seen this place before among the first videos to come out after the attack. this is dash cam video on the car on the same road moments earlier, and the car approachs a group of militants who open fire. the car coasts and the driver is almost certainly dead now, and it is just after 7:40 in the morning. after a quick reload, the group approachs a military base near the kibbutz of rahim. for 65 minutes since crossing the gaza fence, they have had nearly free rein in israel. they have opened fire and fire comes back. this man's part of the attack comes to an end. the terror is just beginning. one thing that is clear in this video is how quickly and easily they were able to move unimpeded, and a quote of one of the group saying, where is all of the soldiers? apparently surprised how easily they move, and this is part of the investigation, and investigation of everyone from the idf and individuals of the public says needs to be thorough and in depth how catastrophic the israel's security failed on that day. >> oren, that is a stunning and horrifying footage to be clear, and this is to be 41 days ago, and israel says that as a result of that, 241 people still in captivity. sara? i am joined by the founder of gaza medic voices. and we have been watching this horrifying video of the day of the attack, but looking at the al shifa, the largest hospital complexes, and have you heard anything from the doctors there? >> thank you, sara, for having me on the program. we have been in constant communications with the doctors and the nursing staff in gaza since the 10th of october when we set up gaza medic voices. what we have heard is that in the last few days, it is extremely difficult to be in communication with anyone at al shifa hospital. the last communication was yesterday morning and i have not been able to communicate with anyone in the hospital since. on friday before the israeli defense forces started to attack and enter and we have messages that we are desperate from the doctors inside saying that there are snipers shooting at the windows and doctors and nurses being shot, and they are concerned that all of them will perish as well as all of the babies and the children and all of the patients in the intensive care units left behind. there are still as far as i know 200 to 300 patients inside of al shifa at the last count. what i can say is that the videos from october 7th are deplorable, and horrific, but as you said rightly, it does not excuse the loss of civilian and human life to the number of almost 12,000 in gaza, and this disproportionate amount of children who are losing their limbs and lives and losing their parents and a whole generation of their family, and many of them are being disfigured or burnt with, you know, extremely toxic chemicals or the toxic weapons being used in munitions. so the situation there is apocalyptic, and what we must not lose sight of is that this is the whole of gaza. so, the whole of gaza is a concentration camp and being bombed indiscriminantly to the level that we have never encountered. the monthly average number of deaths in gaza in the last four weeks is 4,000 children. the nearest conflict that had in the last 10 to 20 years that had numbers of children killed is 200 children in four weeks, and that was in yemen and in syria. so we are talking about a magnitude of death and destruction that is beyond anything that we have witnessed frankly since world war ii in my humble opinion. >> we have heard some of the numbers about the number of children killed from safe the children who have talked about this. that is the most number of children per year that they have seen over the past four years that have been killed. but, we have also heard from the idf who has gone into the hospital and has now taken over the hospital and control of it, if you will, that there was no fighting inside of the hospital, and that most of it happened outside. however, before it was raided by the israeli military, it has been under some of the worst kind of conditions, no electricity, no anesthesia and inundated with the people seeking refuge, and how is it that the military is inside and we saw them bringing in items to try and help, but how are the doctors able to treat any of the patients there at this point? >> we are operating in the dark, and they are operating in the dark realistically, so i have no idea how they are managing with the conditions there. prior to the invasion and the storming of the hospital, these doctors were absolutely exhausted and operating with lack of basics of supplies. many were performing amputations with little pain control with the patients, and afterwards many of them were as you saw in the videos and the pictures taking babies out of the incubators, the 32 weekers or fewer to give them altogether in cots. this is dehumanizing. this is 2023, and we are seeing the levels of health care infrastructure breakdown. i don't think that anyo
