Drones hit targets deep inside russian territory. More than a 1000 kilometers from the border is full mattress. The cities manager says he has his emotions under control as a premier league, todd to race and to its final stretch. Guardiola has been defending the own page argument that he has it with his own team. Often it drew against arsenal. The to were going to take you live now to these pictures, why its a Life Press Conference in washington dc, the National Security communications advisor, john kirby. Nobody wants to see this kind of violence happened to his manager and aid workers who as was noted earlier, were doing all the right things to follow up to where it was earlier about the peer considering moving off the coast of gods. And i mean, just trying to figure out how by definition, its going to be operating off the coast shop. But like further away, how do you ensure that any private partners that the us and so uh, partnering with to deliver aid is actually given. The reason is that, right, thats what i said were working on right now. I mean, forced protection for the troops and the people that are gonna be operating appears obviously going to be a paramount concern, but its only as good as the aid the gets to the peer and then gets in the gaza. So theres going to have to be plans made plans with partners to do everything that we can to ensure that that a is safely assembled and collected at the peer and then safely distributed into gaza. Its going to be a multi step process, will be responsible for some parts of that, but not all of it. Thats going to take some teamwork and were working on. We do that right now. Quick clarification on some of the secretaries that it is here. He appeared to suggest that you ran, deliver results to russia and that those are be used by moscow to target the you can hear from you can, you can find that. That was the case. Im not as strong as elizabeth ballistic missile. Yes. Since when has this transfers in underway, i am not aware of a specific verification that we can give to a ronnie and missiles being delivered to russia for use and you pray and they certainly continue to deliver drones. And actually helping the russians manufacture around in design drones. And we do know that the russians are and have been using now for quite some time Ballistic Missiles that they have gotten from north korea. But im not, im not personally aware of any, any verification that ronnie and missiles have been, have been transferred and used. The you said that theres going to be an investigation into the world central locations, right . So whats a reasonable time frame for that investigation . We did, and how i think in terms of the time frame was i said in my Opening Statement we, we believe in investigation can be thoroughly conducted in a swift manner. Now what a swift, i think obviously were not gonna dictated a date on the calendar to the israelis, but its its no, were the that just before coming out here i was informed that they have completed a preliminary investigation and reporting that up the chain. The command thats, thats good. That means that theyve gotten some basic findings and some initial conclusions that theyre, that theyre willing to make at it. They have noted publicly the, the, the, they were responsible here. So thats another, thats another reason to suspect that it shouldnt need to be a long drawn out weeks long investigation. I think Something Like this will probably resolve, be resolved in a, in a matter of days on the street in damascus. Does the us expect um, well, or i cant predict what the Supreme Leader and what the r g c will decide to do or not. I dont know in terms of retaliation, as i assume you mean against the United States. Let me make it clear. We had nothing to do with what the striking, damascus we were involved in any way whatsoever. So the comments by the Iranian Foreign minister that somehow were to be held to account or that were to blame just nonsense with nothing to do with it. We will, as we always have, take our forced protection very seriously to protect our troops, our facilities interact in syria. And as we have demonstrated in the past, as President Biden has made very, very clear through the actions he is ordered, we will, we will do what we need to do to protect those troops. To later im curious when is the next one . Is why was needed now . Why not next week, next month . Was there a particular catalyst . No, i mean they met again in november and the teams have been working a lot since november on fentenol precursors on Climate Change on economic practices. So theres been on this artificial intelligence, theres been a lot of staff level work in both president start the now few months later this was a good time to kind of check in with one other, see how thats going, discuss the future. So just wanted to follow up with the requesting update from the conditions and you said the to the question or want to do to find some conditions over there in that that is under trouble suggested you wouldnt do that while ive already answered this question a whole bunch of times a, and we believe that the approach that were taking is working in terms of making it clear to these really is what our expectations are. Im not going to get ahead of decisions one way or another that we might take in the future. What im saying is right now, were continuing to support israel because they continue to need military assistance because they continue to face them. I will try a bunch of conditions that present on february 8th issued a memo. And it said that you already know this project for complex. It said that the principals. Ready as administrator to prevent arms transfers, the risk facilitating or otherwise contributing to violations of human rights or International Humanitarian law is following the massage of the peoples of info. Not a violation of International Humanitarian law. As we always have already admitted that this was a mistake they made their doing investigation, theyll get to the bottom of this, lets not get ahead of that. Your, your question presumes at this very early hour, that it was a deliberate strike that they knew exactly what they were hitting, that they were hitting a workers and did it on purpose. And there is no evidence of that. I would also remind you, sir, that we continue to look at incidence as they occur. The state department has a process in place and to date, as you and i are speaking. They have not found any incidents where these rallies have violated International Humanitarian law. Unless do you think we dont take it seriously, i can assure you that we do. You look at this in real time or violated International Law, or in the past 5 to 6 months. A state department has looked at incidents in the past and has yet to determine that any of those incidents violate international and terrible with precision the senior officials in the heart of you must civilians that as well. How does it make sense to you . Does a visa and was with was also coordinated with is reading so they didnt see this defined theory of defense of is right. That is difficult for them because of the civilian population where they can go off the how much leaders in the honda passivity and population invited to 2nd question. No, its not my theory. I have talked about when i just hang on just a 2nd. Now, we have talked about this for months, fighting in the nerve in the hot, highly populated condensed environment like thats tough. But they have taken strikes against some us leaders in successfully digging stripes. Again, some us leaders in gaza. I cant speak to what happened in damascus that i can only tell you that the United States wasnt involved. So im not going to talk about the details of that whatsoever. Im telling you that they have taken precise strikes against the mos in gaza. They have also taken strikes that have been not precise. It looks is it very clearly what happened yesterday is one of those examples. Theyll investigate that. And our expectation is, and weve made this clear to them that theyll come clean about what they want. Theyll be fully transparent and the people need to be held accountable that theyll be held accountable. Thank you. John. Somebody whos in the country. Leslie, michigan, her name is ruby garcia. Donald trump is out there. Now, all i miss bidens board or what that, what are you called . Well, 1st of all, uh, well, im not aware of this the specifics with this case. I mean, thats just terrible news. And our thoughts pers obviously go to the family of uh, ms garcia. I mean thats, thats kind of news. No family ever wants to get ever and we would certainly defer to local Law Enforcement and investigative bodies to do to do this paperwork that needs to be done to figure out exactly what happened. Okay. Weve just been listening together to a john car, be a Senior Advisor and spokesperson there of the white house hes speaking. Therefore, in washington dc, were going to break down what weve been hearing, as well as whats happening now on the ground in gods it will tie all those things together. Lets go 1st to heidi show castro. Shes in washington dc. Heidi several topics here for kirby. What id like to focus on with you is what we just learned about what hes been saying about the incidents on the world, central kitchen. Thats the a group that was struck by israel yesterday, killing 78 workers. And that is triggered global condemnation is put extra pressure on benjamin netanyahu. What it comp kirby have to say about . Thats right, sir. Im listening to those statements while standing here. Now. Im outside the headquarters of the world central kitchen in washington, and we just heard kirby say that the us was full outraged when it heard of the strike. He went on to say that the white house wants to pay the deepest condolences condolences to the families of the 7 worlds central kitchen, a killed in gaza. And he said that just minutes ago, he received information that israels preliminary investigation into the strikes, which the military has already said. It wasnt responsible for that this preliminary investigation has been completed. Apparently though the results have not yet been shared with the United States. But with whitehouse is expectations are for the said, is that this will be a swift, comprehensive, transparent investigation which will have results that will be made public. He went on to say that this is just the latest attack on a workers or rather dangerous faced by 8 workers and gaza. That now more than 200, a workers have been killed in this conflict. And he said that the is really military must do more. That confliction is very obviously a problem here. And that accountability must be had. But when pressed by reporters about why the United States continues to be israels greatest military a supporter. And why that condition . That a continues to be delivered to israel without condition. He said that there was, quote, no evidence yet. Quote of a deliberate strike on these worlds central uh, kitchen a workers. So, you know, hes sort of talking about it on both sides here. Saying that hes waiting for israel to complete this investigation before waiting and further. Okay. Um heidi speaking just outside there, the headquarters for the world central kitchen. Thank you very much for that. Im going to go to guys and then ill bring this conversation back here to the studio into how with our senior political analyst. Lets go 1st to on the ground with the options here as honey mahoney, youre in rossa honey. Thats in the southern part of the gaza strip. A were, weve been examining all day the full out of israel strike against the worlds central kitchen. They killed 78 workers. Uh huh. Whats going to be the impact of this on a delivery for palestinians . Well so several, this is part of the ongoing guy explained and slowly increasing deliberate attacks on, on a mechanism and generally starting from recreating a broken aid mechanism of from the miles of the trucks on the other side of the board as it prevented to be delivered through the northern part garza city, an over crowded southern part of this tribune to attack in local aid workers on the ground, 8 convoys on 8 seekers. And what were seeing right now, this is a combination of a chain of events laid into the, the rec, deliberate attacks. And there is no way more accurate than describing it as a deliberate attack on paid workers who are employed by an international organization. Working on delivering Food Supplies were much needed and desperate population. And the fact that there was a sense of, of frustration and anger mixed with sadness because these and workers on the ground bonded with people for the past month and a half the book meals and the run these activities with the local residents. With this wave families, people are used to them use of their phrases used to do good work of feeding them. Now one of the direct negative impact right now were seeing is the suspension of, of operations by what, by the w. C. K, across the defense really are yeah, no, no, the par that here in overcrowded part of the strip. Thats one thing for a lot of people. That is, thats a winning point for those really military which has always been after a delivery and aid workers on the ground. The fact that were seeing ship are turning back to where they came from and not delivering some 200 tons of worth of aid. And Food Supplies and survival items for palestinian. Here is part of a strategy of if people are not going to die because of the unpredictable fall involved, theyre going to die because of our vision. And this is the suspension of operations is increasing. The likelihood of the, of the, of famine is spreading. And not only in the northern part of gussy, but also it started to be visible in over a crowded southern part of, of the strength already. This is one of the impacts it will discourage more 8 organizations and more aid workers are from taking the initiative and beyond the ground on deliver much needed Food Supplies in a to a large, the traumatized and as a population that is being a star and not that the different talk people here are not starving. They are being a star through their enforce, to start vision into hide ration. This is one example of how its done. Honeywell, who thank you very much for your latest reporting there outside of the of from i should say, from the gaza strip as specifically from ross. I thank you very much, honey. Im told that we have honda. So who know, honda . Youre a 1st from occupied East Jerusalem look before we continue to have this conversation with, with my one shar, whos in the studio with us. We need to know what israel is saying happened or rather how israel is explaining what they did because they do have knowledge that they struck this convoy. What are they saying of the initially these really are we did not acknowledge that it was then who struck this convoy. These really armies spokesperson daniel, regarding, well speaking in english, said that quote, an incident had happened, sending his consult condolences and saying that it was expressing sorrow. Additionally, we then had these really Prime Minister in the afternoon acknowledge that it was indeed and is really airstrikes saying that it was on intentional. Lets take a listen. Thats the whole. Now im, you could argue, unfortunately, in the last day there was a tragic incident of an unintended strike about forces on innocent people in the gods and strip this happens in go, were checking this thoroughly, we are in touch with the governments and we will do everything for this not to happen again. All this comes as me is really, army says they arent going to conduct a defense thorough investigation into the matter. These are only army chief of staff, hurts the however you will be part of all of those. 2 rooms but anonymous is really officials speaking to is really media have said that is the world central kitchen no longer operates in gaza. They dont have a plan b. And then the last hour were hearing from another 8 organization in gaza, called a narrow who says that after 6 months of flagrant violations of International Law and constant bombings. And theyve decided for their own safety. It would be best to stop operating and gaza at this time. And honda so who thank you very much as youre reporting here from occupied East Jerusalem of this evening. So joining me here in the studio as often as youre a senior political analyst, mar wanda, sharp, or one. Im just really curious to hear what you thought of that. Um that john kirby press conference cuz kirby is now clearly i think we can say fairly is playing defense with all these questions that were being asked of him on what the us thinks of what is real has done and, and how can they keep supporting this you know, and hes, hes, hes dodging bullets out there. Absolutely. I think a listening to that to re add the blinking today and from status defending the is ready war crimes and gaza gives you a good sense of how far american officials need to go out of their way in order to justify or defend is really actions that are in defensible cause so much so that you can see that the journalists who are asking the questions are so frustrated. Because in the end of the day, right, 6 months later, 53000 have been killed, mostly women and children. And mr. Kirby still, you know, outraged by questions about violations of laws of war and say, well, we still have to wait and see what with and see what exactly right. He was al, specifically his israel violated any laws of will have they committed any or crimes in the last 56 months. And he was pretty defensive about that. Absolutely. And i think here in this question, right, and ill be curious what our viewers are on the world are thinking on the way they are thinking about this. Because i can see that much of the debate already of the past few hours was about whether its deliberate or not delivered. So what do you think . So do you think its worse if it was delivered or not deliberate . Because i think its worse if its not deliberate, because if its deliberate, it could be a general, it could be calling on an engineer whos managing these drones or a pilot was minding an airplane. Or what have you decided to pick an action deliberately against the or the 8th complex . It could be a high ranking official thing, the minutes or but the way things ha
