Floods and struck the im british manager. Welcome to the program. The head of israels ministry. Intelligence unit has resigned for failing to prevent a monster attack on the 7th of october in which 1200 people were killed and to 50 others kidnapped. Major general auto and holly is the 1st senior hes really figure out to step down over the attack. I leave, i said that on the hes come on to the intelligence detector. It did not live up to its task. His decision to step down could set the stage for more resignations among israel top security personnel as get more from the debit card responding to back of it to us in journals number back up. How likely is it we now see more resignations from other Senior Ministry officials as well . Its difficult to say very obviously that is up to the decision of age and every member of the security and political establishment. But hes the, what weve seen today. Certainly the most senior figures stand down. Uh, as you rightly point out, he said the Intelligence Division did not live up to the task we were entrusted with. He actually acknowledged responsibility about a week off to the october 7th attack in some, somewhere in mid october. And he wasnt the only person to do so. They were other very senior officials by defense and political who came out. Also acknowledging some responsibility, including the defense minister, youll have good loans and even some members of the opposition because they, they said, well, we have been in, in power in the years leading up to this attack. And we also have failed. So the one person that hasnt taken any responsibility is the Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. And its certainly something that hes been very criticized for. His critics say that hes in fact prolonging the will potentially and you know, refusing to already set up some kind of inquiry into just what happened and how these, how these failings happened in order for this attack to take place. What we do know, of course, is that there was a major failure of intelligence to allow such an attack and even up to a year before october, 7th, intelligence officials, quote, waiting of a document that really outlined pretty much what happened on that terrific day spot is also watching the gaza strip. You know, were, were raising the red flags saying, you know, were seeing Strange Movement of mass battalions. We think that something might be happening over the intelligence officials saying, no, im asked, just want to the cost of the goal is the strip and go from there. Theyre not interested, nor do they have the capabilities to carry out such an attack. But as, as of course, as we know now, that wasnt the case, and whether or not we see more people taking this lead remains to be seen, but it could very, very well be possible. Bearish rebecca, stay with us because we did stuff about other developments as well. And so think about this cause of bodies that have been found in mass graves at the cause of hospital Civil Defense things and cause i have discovered the bodies buried in the hospital. The courtyard and the Southern City of con eunice, the grave was found in the necessary medical complex which has previously been rated by israeli forces. The Civil Defense groups is at least 50 bodies have so far been in june. A spokesman said some had no clouds indicating they may have faced to try and abuse israels ministry say as it is investigating the reports. Rebecca is running upset if carried out to precise and limited operation. Im not saying how does that square with what were seeing on the grounds of the hospital now its its certainly difficult to make those 2 realities square, bear, usher, right . So at the time all of these right in february, the idea of said that they had carried out a precise attack. They said that theyd arrested some 2 hundreds, a suspected terrorist as they called them and that they had retreated in the retreat. They said that they had cleaned off and even offered food uh, food deliveries of additional food shipments for the people who had been caught up in that sage. Though that is counted to the reports, we were hearing the eye witness reports on the ground at the time he was saying that they were terrified to come out, that they were, you know, stopping that they had no access to food water. So these, we have very, very differing realities here are definitely different, differing a sort of yeah, realities of what, what people are saying happened at that time. Now were seeing that this, this evidence of this mass grave, in fact, on alda 0, is saying as many as 200 bodies have now being found. And people reporting that around 500 people are still on accounted for, and that hon you in this area. So we could say that number rise again as you say, the word precision. Really difficult to comprehend when were looking at this. So the idea of saying that they are investigating, they havent made any comment on this evidence sofa oven to say that, that were looking into this event. But as you rightly point out, precise, nope, perhaps the words that many would use when you look at the scenes coming out of how newness, right . So those, some of the developments happening in that goes on, lets take a look at whats been happening in the west bank because the residents there have launched a general strike that did sort of the weekend closing shops and other businesses of to. Is there any truth rated a refugee camp in the country . The processing and red crescent sales, at least 14 people were killed in thousands injured. Israel tay is a target to administer the militants during a counterterrorism operation. We have this report. It strikes military greets the news. Sean, if you do come in to absorb some part of the restaurant, a good estimate, many killed and injured dogs, boys dozed and homes destroyed the can i you, my son was sleeping there. He had gone to wash himself and then he prayed and went home. Is the home is higher of . There was a slide for in front of him was shots him. I heard the son of the shooting. My oldest son went up there and found he was bleeding. He blinked at this, look at these flat palestinians describe these drive it as president. Good. Yep. And of the model. Yeah. I mean, itd be within my that there is indeed a complete destruction of homeless shop law electricity grid. Took up the sewage towards the network. Yeah. And the infrastructure comes out to have the, you have to finish the incursion is unprecedented. Dequina teasley there was night for those and rooftop to have the desk was nothing special. Forces detroit, people, its indeed a real one of the other men as long as drive the military seas. Its guilty militants due to the beat. The army also sees it has the phone and destroyed explosives and sees many weapons used in what it calls digital activities. Violence in the westbank has escalated sharply in recent months. On sunday started the forces confirm the game to palestinians who attacked a check point in the territory. According to the un, more than 450. 00 ballast indians and 9 is tried. These have been killed in the west front since the october 7th dead attacks by hum us. Then you will also see if the violence against palestinians is trying to fittest their has increased significantly. Because i did states and a number of other countries having both functions on vide incentives and arch is trying to do more to stop the violence the following day. So i needed my understanding and residents launched agenda. The strike shops, universities found on the public transportation. But all blues to protest bases are needed under the if you to come back out to walk out of funds within yellowstone. Rebecca richards, rebecca, what it is around se, prompted this raid in the west bank or over as israel says that the operation was carried out to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and apprehend suspects. Indeed, suspects were apprehended. We know that some 4 days you had and that report to some 14 people were also killed during that re now its one of the largest weve seen in the west back since october 7. But a violence really has escalated a great deal since october 7. First, with an idea of raids, a other idea of incursions and, and just to, you know, day to day interaction with the ministry and palestinians in the west bank as well as with vine upset lives more than 480 palestinians has been killed since october 7 and 2023 before october 7 was already on track to be one of the deadliest is in the west bank since the anti party is for least a couple of decades. Now. Operation break, the wave was launched actually in 2022 and we were seeing the not the rise across the when west bank then. And that has increased at the same time as this right at the north. In the newer shops kept, we were hearing about smaller rates, a potentially 5 other locations. So were also carried out over the we can now, critics say that the military using gaza, or as a distraction, if you will, and that they are, you know, attempting to carry out of these operations to help settle scores. And weve even heard people say that theyre trying to ton parts of the west bank at least into a little gaza. So thats how people on the ground are experiencing this now, is really military saying, of course that this is, these are all necessary in order to, to keep his riley safe to prevent future attacks and to apprehend terror suspects as they call them. So you have, you know, again, sort of differing realities depending on which sondra standing on. But you know, it is really military maintaining that this is very important that i certainly dont want to see move on. Its breaking out from the palestinian side that might, you know, injured there is theres ready citizens. And that they dont want to see a 2nd or even a 3rd front. If you consider whats happening in the north of his route when it comes to the 11 on board us. So certainly saying that these, these uh, operations are necessary. We live with the, for the time being. But thanks so much for joining us to have those rebecca auditors and journals and them. Thanks so much to a news, talk about the board and ukraine. The country has welcome to vote by us lawmakers to resume urgently needed ministry assistance. President of all the domains and landscape says to 61000000000. 00 a package passed by the us house.

So this key is now urging a quick passage through the us Senate Speaking on american television, he said the ministry id sends a clear message to moscow in the dates of each team. So unfortunately, these from the United States of america. And of course, the supports of the American People use us because its increasing out. Of course, the political decisions depends on the public opinion. And this age will strengthen ukraine and sans is dependent upon the powerful signal that it will not the the 2nd topic on his tongue correspond to mic.

I mean its not, is the, its your 1st priority for the credit ministry. We have a situation right now whether ukrainian always being outgoing by 6 or even 10 to one and having to use it kind of caused the drones to compensate for the lack of basic munitions. So theyre hoping for those to roll across the photos porter and to ukraine. Pretty soon. Same goes for munitions for hijack off systems weve seen. Given, you know, these delays ukraine able to shoot down many few of michelles and was the case of 6 months ago as a result of much greater damage being inflicted. And in terms of new types of equipment coming as being hope there was speak and talked in dc about as it comes ballistic munitions, but with a large range of braces bites to visa said to you, great, which would really allow ukraine to attack rest of logistics and rushes mitre installations and cry, me a little hans cadets far away from the front lines.

Im come, i made a rise in tension between china and the philippines. This is drills gonna include the fast ever ministry exercises held outside of philippine kind of total and was in the south china sea. The problem is, those are waters populate, came by paging and controlled by its coast guard. The us and the philippines have a long standing neutral defense treaty. And at the recent summit in washington, us, President Joe Biden said hes confused commitments to manila white coat. I am glad that those east asia correspondent james trip explains the importance of this year as exercises. Its the biggest annual display, isnt that true . Unity between the us and its mutual defense. Tracy allied, the philippines, the product time exercises this year, bringing together more than 16000. 00 personnel for almost 3 weeks of drills. The exercises this time last week responding. Civics, maritime tensions between the philippines and china in the south china sea. In recent months, paging his 5 boys, the canons that philippine resupply vessels and the the disputants, 2nd, thomas shown where the philippine ship was deliberately beach as an outpost in 1919. No, no more about 3 is the prospect of the us being drawn into direct conflict with badging. If any uh, service men really feed no Service Managers killed by an at that from any foreign power. Then that is fine to involve the mutual defense. The philippines coast guard has been on the front line of chinese aggression. And thats why theyve been invited to join the exercises for the 1st time to in another fast, by like a 10 maritime drills will take place beyond the philippine territorial waters. But within its exclusive economic sun shown by the yellow line here. But that has the potential to frustrate badging because it overlaps with china is so cool. 9 dash line in blue here. Thats what it says which page and claims its own. Despite of 2016 International Court ruling, that it had no legal basis to do so. This is exercise as will be directed in pots from 3 or 4 Philippine Military bases to which the us gained new access last year. They include locations near the 2nd till the show, but also the structure of water separating the philippines in taiwan. The so for democracy, china claims its on the exercise, just follow a flurry of diplomatic activity aimed at bringing washingtons allies in asia closer together. Over the Philippine Press then sudden and more cost. Journia recently attended a historic sized try natural summits with the leaders of the us and japan mall costs us. Instead, the meeting wasnt talking to any country in particular, but badging wont. The bulk of time exercises would only lead to greater insecurity for the philippines. The volume the philippine should be silver enough to realize that rallying external countries to flex military muscles in the south china sea, which for the conflicts will escalate tensions. The french personnel will also join the drills for the 1st time. Alongside australia, he pictured conducting maritime exercises with the us, japan, and the philippines. Earlier this month. This is public atlantic sizes, the latest episode in us efforts to galvanize its allies. But lets get both from don mclean. Jim.

How significant do you think that is . Well 1st of all, as thank you so much for having me here today, and we have to understand a 2024, but look at the industry. Its 3 very important things. So 1st theres clarity in manila is region by great and political will to exercise its sovereignty and sovereign right based on international law. And this is where the exercises, within the philippine easy is clearly seen. So theres a lot of agency from one to list a point of view. Second, of course, as the load is a little exercise. Um, but based on the attention to this, getting the philippines of nobodys able to leverage its geo political dynamics in order to send for its place as a partner of choice in ensuring that their rules based borders kept in tap into maritime. So many and the 3rd point here is that with the participation and rather the active participation of the Philippine Coast guard. This represents the crucial step towards the whole phoenician approach, which a marcus Junior Administration was emphasized under its National Security policy. So were see a lot of important developments here, but most importantly, the willingness of the philippines to play a larger rol
