Assessing the first week of the israel gaza conflict. Hello. Imjackie leonard, the host of the Global News Podcast. Today, weve teamed up with a new bbc podcast, the conflict, for a special programme, answering your questions about whats going on in israel and gaza. Werejoined by the host of the conflict, the bbc s chief International Correspondent lyse doucet, who is in ashdod in israel, north of gaza, and also by our International Editor jeremy bowen, whos injerusalem. So welcome, lyse. A relatively easy question to kick off with. Can you give us a sense of the size and location of gaza in relation to israel . Who lives there . Whos in charge . And who are its neighbours . Well, thats a sort of a wikipedia of the gaza strip. The gaza strip is a coastal strip of land on the mediterranean. Once on one side, its on the mediterranean. The other side, the southern side, its connecting to egypt. And then its other neighbour is israel. It is described as one of the most densely populated pl
happen in between that period that time and now and we re in a new situation now. of course, we know sweden very well they know us very well, too. so we re preparing what we have seen lately from them, and what we want to do and how we want to play. max verstappen was fastest on day one of practice for the japanese grand prix. on and off rain wrecked second practice, but in the first session there was a marked improvement for the mercedes with both lewis hamilton and george russell finishing within half a second of verstappen. but williams awful start to the season conintined with american logan sargeant losing control at a high speed control at a high speed corner and crashing out. thankfully he was ok, the car not so. a silly error, to be honest, one i shouldn t be making, especially in p1. but yeah, fortunately it wasn t like the mistakes last year, it wasn t over pushing. nevertheless, still left the team with some damage but fortunately got away better than it cou
i know you re probably going to be head of the cia, but do you believe you can deliver the goods on this in a pretty short order in the first couple months so we can get rolling on prosecutions? yes. one thing we learned in the trump administration the first go around is woo have to put in american patriots top to bottom. we got them for law enforcement, for intell collection, for offensive operations, for dod, cia, everywhere. that s kash patel, who might run donald trump s cia, and how about stephen miller at the doj or chief of staff steve bannon? those are just some of the people trump would likely dredge up from the maga swamp if he somehow gets a second presidency. speaking of trump, he was back in court today, and there s new reporting on the signals from prosecutors in georgia that they expect trump and/or his codefendants to get prison time. plus, an update on the major scandal involving florida s republican party chair and his wife, which is shining a light on
targeting a safe house and training facilities used by iranian affiliated groups. that s according to the pentagon. we ve got the latest on the significant escalation in the middle east amid rising tensions. plus, on defense, donald trump jr. back on the stand, the first witness for the defense in the new york civil fraud trial calling his dad today a visionary. what impact will his testimony have. and could the qanon shamon go back to washington, after serving 27 months behind bars, he s filing paperwork to run for congress. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest developments. i want to begin in gaza with one doctor in al-shifa hospital saying 600 patients need care, there isn t food and water among other things needed. erin mclaughlin is in tel aviv. you talked to a doctor inside al-shifa this morning. what did he tell you. reporter: that s right, chris. as the israeli military has pushed further and further into gaza city, there s desperation at a numbe
civilians as human shields, that uses civilian infrastructure, even hospitals, in the most cynical way possible. that is as fighting positions, as military operation centers. and so israel has to confront that while at the same time not wanting to go assaulting hospitals in fire fights that could put innocent people who are getting life saving medical care in the cross fire. so there are not easy answers to this question, but this is the complexity, this is the burden that the israeli defense forces are facing as they conduct their operations. and our position is that israel has the right to go after hamas. but it does face this added burden, and that burden does not lessen its responsibility to act according to the laws of war, and so how that plays out in a particular operational dynamic, ultimately those decisions lie with the military fighting. even as israel goes after hamas and the tools and infrastructure of its terrorism. reporter: do you have any proof of life on h
