. welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world, i'm kim brunhuber this hour on cnn newsroom, the fighting between voisrael and hamas continues but so do negotiations to release more hostages and prisoners. ahead, we'll tell you who the u.s. blames for ending the truce. plus, a historic vote on capitol hill has george santos becomes just the sixth person ever to be expelled from congress, we'll bring you his parting words to his former colleagues. and world leaders at the u.n. world climate action summit are focused on fossil fuels, we'll go live to dubai for the latest on what's coming out of c cop28. >> announcer: live from atlanta this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber. it is 4:00 a.m. here in atlanta, 11:00 a.m. in the middle east where combat operations between israel and hamas are heading into a second day following the collapse of a week long truce. the idf released this video of what it said was a strike against hamas targets operating close to israeli troops in gaza, one of more than 400 targets, the idf says were struck in the past 24 hours. israel has been directing much of its firepower toward targets in southern gaza and released a new evacuation map showing palestinians where they should go. at least 178 people have been killed since the truce ended early friday. despite the resumed fighting a u.s. official says talks to release more hostages are ongoing. the idf believes 136 people are still being held in gaza, including 17 women and children. the families of three more hostages have now confirmed their loved ones are no longer alive. ivan watson is covering this from beirut. what's the latest on the fighting? >> reporter: right, well, in the 24 hours since the truce ended, the onslaught resumed with ferocity. the israeli defense forces saying they carried out more than 400 strikes in that first 24-hour period. the gaza ministry of health, which is run by hamas, it says that at least 178 people were killed in a that period of time. i want to point out, one of the casualties, it's a journalist, a freelance journalist who was working for turkey's -- agency and he had earlier been injured in an israeli strike that according to the agency's bureau chief in gaza and according to his own media post, social media posts, that air strike had killed at least 45 people from his family, including his mother, his father, his brothers, their children. so that's just kind of one face of the loss of life now that the hostilities have resumed after that week long respite from the killing. now, as you pointed out, the israeli government says that they're still open, somehow, to resuming the truce, which they're blaming the collapse of it on hamas, saying that hamas was not offering up the names of women that the israeli government and the biden administration believes to be in the custody of hamas, women from the age of 20 to 30, that they say that hamas was arguing were military hostages, whereas the israeli government's saying that they were, no, in fact, civilians who were kidnapped at that nova music festival. take a listen to what antony blinken, the u.s. top diplomat had to say, where he's casting blame on why the hostilities resumed on friday. >> it's also important to understand why the pause came to an end. it came to an end because of hamas. hamas reneged on commitments it made, even before the end, it committed an atroerks act in jerusalem, killing -- it began firing rockets before it ended and it reneged on commitments in terms of releasing certain hostages. >> reporter: now, one of the militant groups in gaza that is palestinian islamic jihad they've claimed responsibility for firing rockets out of gaza at israeli cities and in the meantime the idf has distributed these maps, that's the israeli military, these maps and leaflets that were dropped over the population in gaza that are purportedly interactive. they have qr codes that are supposed to indicate safe places that people can go to in the enclave. i do have to stress the fact that electricity is spotty there due to the destruction. people have spotty access to the internet, and also the u.n. points out that 1.8 million gazans, that's more than 80% of the population, has already been displaced by the first month and a half of fighting. so basically you have displaced people who are under bombardment being told to move from one place to another to try to avoid bombardment that is just colossal and ferocious, again, more than 400 targets the israeli military says struck in this small densely populated area in a period of just 24 hours. >> thanks so much for the updates. ivan watson in beirut, appreciate it. hospitals in southern gaza stay palestinian casualties have been mounting quickly since the truce ended early friday. cnn's ben wedeman has our report, we want to warn you, some of the images in his report are graphic and disturbing. >> the pause is over. now let slip again the dogs of war. still alive, someonene shouts aa baby is carried away from the ruins of a house in rafah, children are rushed into the emergency ward, the united nations estimates almost 40% of gaza's population is under the age of 15, thousands of children have already been killed. and that must stop, pleads unicef's spokesman james elder from a rafah hospital. >> we cannot see more children with the wounds of war. with the burns, with the shrapnel littering their body, with the broken bones. inaction by those with influence is allowing the killing of children. this is a war on children. >> medediation e efforts to exe the truce came to naught. israel continues to pursue its goal of destroying hamas. just be more careful while doing it u.s. secretary of state antony blinken urged the israelis. >> and i underscore the imperative of the united states that the massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale we saw in northern gaza not be repeated in the south. >> reporter: by friday evening the death toll since the morning shot past 170 according to gaza's hamas-run health ministry, adding to the nearly 15,000 killed before the truce. this man came to the -- baptist hospital in gaza city in search of his little brother only to find him in a body bag. ziad is dead he cries into the phone. inside medics struggle to save the life of a 2-year-old girl gravely wounded in an israeli strike. since friday morning says hospital volunteer, we've wrapped more than 40 m martyrs from vararious areas w who were bombed in their homes. there's still a chance the truce could be in need of hamas and israel can come to a new agreement, the people of gaza cannot afford to wait. ben wedeman, cnn, jerusalem. let's bring in -- in ramallah, the care country director in the west bank in gaza. thank you for being here with us, we just saw in that package what the resumption of war means for so many people. tell us what you are hearing from your people there in gaza, particularly how this is affecting the most vulnerable. >> reporter: good morning, kim, so over the last seven days it was a moment for everyone to do two basic things. the first one is to try to understand the level of impact they have on person and life, but also just try to secure some of the basic needs that they were in massive need to. the first part, and of course this includes my colleagues, was very massive in terms of losing their houses, getting to know more confirmation on the people that hay love and lost, and secondly they were not able to secure most of the needs that they have. and the overcrowded shelters that we shab sharing with you all the information around, the lack of food, the lack of fuel, the collapsing medical system continues to have that, seven days of a pause was very important to secure some aid entering, was not enough with the end of the pause, the new map that was just shared on the report by the colleagues and cnn makes it very difficult, and scary for the people to know that they need to evacuate again for the sixth or seventh time. where they are expected to move to overcrowded shelter in winter with the outbreak of the diseases. >> that's the problem when they're being asked to evacuate, the question is, where do they go that's safe? >> this is exactly what our colleagues were asking us, where to go, we don't know, even the colleagues, they don't know where to go to. there are no places enough to receive people. the designated safe places in these maps refer to the u.n. designated shelters which are already extremely overcrowded and people are sleeping in the outdoors. so they have no place to go to, even in the -- that are not, that are marked for safe, certain locations were bombed yesterday. >> and, you know, you're talking about and seeing in that package, i mean, the acute dangers of the bombings and then there's sort of the slow motion crisis of disease as well has as you say in these overcrowded shelters, more and more people forced into ever smaller areas with even fewer resources. >> exactly. so already, before, before the pause, the speed of that disease -- reached five times quicker compared to the normal similar conditions of that -- of weather or seasons, now we expect this to even more and more to be much, much bigger with the lack of hygiene practices, the collapsing medical services, where you cannot access medication related to certain diseases and the outspread of water borne diseases and now the cold winter. >> yeah, and the fear is that more people could eventually die from those things, from disease and exposure than to, you know, injuries from the war. but it's not just the physical health that's in jeopardy, i mean, people had, you know, a week's break from all the attacks, now talk to me about the sense of despair, the mental trauma that must be getting worse day by day, especially for children. >> i can't thank you enough for asking this question so we can give the chance to share what my colleagues were telling me. kids specifically, over the last period, already suffered a lot, with the seven days that had happened they were able to take the breath again, able to go around, even for them, and quoting my colleagues, we were able to see our kids and grand kids' smiles again, with the beginning of the -- with the end of the truce in the morning, with the first bombs, sounds we hear, they were terrified because they thought as kids that this has ended. so imagine reinitiating all of that again, terrified parents understanding what they have already discovered during the pause with all the losses, and getting themselves prepared for the future with these very scary let me say maps that they have received dividing the blocks in the south into very small blocks where you don't know exactly where you have to go. >> tough for so many people. i really appreciate getting your insights on the situation. hiba tibi in ramallah, thank you so much. >> thank you. if you would like information on how you can help with humanitarian relief efforts for gaza in israel go to cnn.com/impact and there you can find a list of vetted organizations that are providing help, that's at cnn.com/impact. well, friday saw developments in several legal cases involving former u.s. president donald trump, a washington, d.c. federal appeals court ruled trump can face civil lawsuits related to the january 6th, 2021 riot, the decision will have implications in several cases against him. later friday trump lost his bid to get federal charges against him dropped in the d.c. election subversion case. the district judge tanya chutkan rejected and refused to dismiss. professor ryan goodman has more on her decision. >> so can jack smith prosecute president trump or does he have immunity for the actions he took while president. the answer is, you can prosecute somebody and there's one important line in her opinion, she says defendants trump's four-year service as commander in chief did not bestow on him the divine rights of kings that governs fellow citizens, it's a huge opinion in this case because it means that jack smith can go forward unless she's overturned by the court of appeals, but that shouldn't be happening. >> also friday trump's lawyers appeared in an atlanta court first time in connection with georgia's election subversion case. they argued that the indictment should be thrown out because it violates free speech adding that if trump wins the 2024 election, the trial would need to be postponed until after his term. now, former congressman george santos was expelled from the u.s. house friday and he's not going quiet in a vote 311-114 santos becomes the sixth person in history to be expelled from the chamber, it comes after an ethics probe found substantial evidence that santos used campaign funds for personal use. santos has been caught lying about his past, and is also under federal indictment for fraud. after the vote santos told cnn, quote, to hell with this place, and declared the house is creating a dangerous precedent for itself. here he is. >> i had no -- >> did you know this was how it was going to go? did you know this is how it was going to go? >> you know what, unofficially no longer a member of congress, i no longer have to -- >> the locks on santos's former office have already been changed, a special election will be heard early next year to fill the seat. world leaders at the cop28 summit clash over fossil fuels as they look to curb the global climate crisis, live to dubai for the latest that's coming up next, stay with us.. turning to the war in ukraine russia says it's boosting the size of its army by 15%. ukraine's top general has issued a blunt assessment of a long fight ahead. >> reporter: as a harsh winter begins to set in ukraine's war is becoming more difficult, painful and exhausting, as this conflict grinds towards the end of its second year. a stalemate is how the general, commander in chief of the ukrainian armed forces, labeled the war, making international headlines while upsetting president zelenskyy who projects a far more upbeat assessment. but in a rare interview the senior adviser tells me his boss stands by those controversial comments. >> the general was giving an honest assessment of the war, which was a wake-up call, i think, to the west. >> yes, i agree with you, it's some kind of message and some kind of alarm signal to -- for the riff in society. we are ready to fight our enemy but we need help, we need support. >> reporter: equipment is what ukraine desperately needs, artillery pieces, ammunition, long range missile systems, drones, electronic warfare, and air defense systems. last weekend kyiv experienced how vital those air defense systems are at protecting the population, when russia launched what local officials called an unprecedented number of attack drones on the capital. the general fears if ukraine doesn't receive advanced weaponry his country faces a very difficult 2024. >> general, is there one specific weapon that would be a game changer in this war? >> i don't think so, but importance of the system is the, i believe, that help us to change the situation concerning the russian air -- superiority of the front line. >> reporter: the problem, however, is that ukraine needs those f-16s now, not in spring of next year, when they're due to arrive. but as russia steps up production, the general's biggest fear is the patience for what is turning out to be a much longer war. >> there are concerns the west is losing interest in this war, and the support is waning, especially in the u.s. amongst republicans. what is your message to those republicans. >> american support is vital for ukraine, very vital, it's very important for us, what i want said to republicans, they need to understand that now it's your problem to conduct this witar, t if we don't manage to win this war, in future we'll have more problems, not only for our country, for my country, for our populations, but only for europe, a problem for -- also. >> reporter: anna coren, cnn, kyiv. fossil fuels are the top of the list of priorities as world leaders gather for the second day of the u.n. world climate action summit in dubai. the white house is announcing a new rule that would dramatically cut the u.s. fossil fuel industry's emissions of methane, one of several promises from governments at the summit. bring us up to speed on the latest pledges being made by the u.s. and others there at the summit. >> reporter: well, kim, this is a major announcement by the u.s., through the environmental protection agency, or epa, they are they are announcing much stricter rules when it comes to the production and the offset and the putting off of methane with oil and gas production and exploration. this is important because methane is a much more powerful warming agent than carbon dioxide, and traditionally it's been a bigby product of the oil and gas industry, cutting the allowable methane that will come out of these industries and hoping that this translates to the rest of the world. but the u.s. and other nations, in fact, are ramping up production of oil and gas. i put that question to a leading climate change expert. you have countries, all over the world, including the uae and the u.s. who are ramping up production of oil. doesn't that completely fly in the face of phasing out fossil fuels. >> yes, it goes in completely the wrong direction, it's really hypocritical, both the emirates and the u.s. are saying they're committed to 1 1/2 degrees but you can't be committed to the paris agreement's temperature limit if you go on expanding fossil fuel production. that doesn't mean we can't make progress here. this is the place where leaders come and have to face the truth about what's happening and i'm still optimistic in a week's time we can walk away with a big step towards fossil fuel phaseout. >> very bold pronouncements on one hand and actions on the other. are the two lining up? >> no, they're not. one of the big concerns that many have about the process here is that we're seeing an awful lot of announcements which are never followed up. they're never accountable. >> reporter: well, the good thing with the methane rules is that they are enforceable for the epa and the u.s. the worry is that some of these announcements at c.o.p. will be sounding good but not actually acting on reducing emissions. kim? >> david mckenzie in dubai, thanks so much. and thank you for joining us, i'm kim brunhuber for viewers in north america. i'll be back after a quick break, for everyone else, it's "inside africa." first time i connected with

don't know how to thank you. (car engine revs)k you. (engine accelerating) (texting clicks) (tires squeal) (glass shattering) (loose gravel clanking) welcome back, i'm kim brunhuber, this is cnn newsroom. our top story, the resumed fighting between israel and hamas. fighting in southern gaza on the ground in the air and with naval forces is entering its second day following the collapse of the truce, israel says it hit more than 400 targets over the past 24 hours. the idf is now warning palestinians in southern gaza to evacuate even farther south as posted an online map showing them where to go. have a look at this, this was the desperate scene as aid trucks were delivering drinking water outside the res crescent hospital to people in the midst of the humanitarian crisis. early friday israel akiezed hamas of violating a deal, it paused the fighting for seven days. during that truce israel was able to recover d
