1:23 1:26 Hol good evening and welcome Congress
1:26 1:28 has a new house Speaker tonight ending
1:28 1:30 three weeks of uncertainty and chaos
1:30 1:32 that along the way crushed the hopes of
1:32 1:35 a string of high-profile Republicans all
1:35 1:38 seeking the job after Kevin McCarthy was
1:38 1:40 booted from the post instead late today
1:40 1:42 the Republican majority mustering the
1:42 1:46 217 votes needed and then some to lift a
1:46 1:49 relative unknown Louisiana's Mike
1:49 1:52 Johnson to the speakers Podium Johnson a
1:52 1:54 hard-right conservative who in just
1:54 1:56 hours was propelled from minor party
1:56 1:58 leadership role to second in the
1:58 2:00 Constitutional line to the presidency
2:00 2:03 the new speaker sworn in this afternoon
2:03 2:05 in his first remarks declaring the
2:05 2:08 people's house is back in business our
2:08 2:09 Garrett H has been following all the
2:09 2:12 drama leading up to today's vote and has
2:12 2:14 late
2:14 2:16 details after three chaotic and
2:16 2:18 leaderless weeks tonight the house once
2:18 2:21 again has a speaker the speaker elect
2:21 2:23 Mike Johnson from the state of Louisiana
2:23 2:25 Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson
2:25 2:27 elected on a Partyline vote with the
2:27 2:31 support of every Republican
2:31 2:34 every Democrat opposed A stunning rise
2:34 2:36 for the Trump Ally and low-ranking
2:36 2:38 member of the GOP house leadership team
2:38 2:41 now second in line to the presidency the
2:41 2:43 challenge before us is great but the
2:43 2:46 time for Action is now Johnson is a
2:46 2:47 staunch conservative on issues like
2:47 2:50 abortion and government spending he also
2:50 2:52 played a key role in efforts by then
2:52 2:54 president Trump to overturn Joe Biden's
2:54 2:56 electoral victory in the 2020 election
2:56 2:59 history noted by democrats today Joe
2:59 3:04 Biden won the 2020 presidential election
3:04 3:07 no amount of election denialism will
3:07 3:11 ever change that reality are you worried
3:11 3:12 that a speaker Johnson would again
3:12 3:15 attempt to overturn the election no
3:15 3:17 Johnson's election caps a turbulent
3:17 3:19 month for the house beginning with the
3:19 3:21 ouster of former speaker Kevin McCarthy
3:21 3:23 and the elevation and withdrawal of
3:23 3:26 three other GOP nominees before the
3:26 3:28 party settled on the relatively unknown
3:28 3:30 Johnson late last night
3:30 3:32 if you don't think that moving from
3:32 3:34 Kevin McCarthy to Maga Mike Johnson
3:34 3:36 shows the ascendance of this movement
3:36 3:38 and where the power in the Republican
3:38 3:41 Party truly lies uh then then you're not
3:41 3:43 paying attention the eight Republicans
3:43 3:45 who led the effort to remove McCarthy
3:45 3:47 declaring Victory the only way to change
3:47 3:50 Washington is to change who's leading
3:50 3:52 Washington and that is what we did today
3:52 3:54 Johnson jolting the chamber back into
3:54 3:56 action I believe we're going to be able
3:56 3:57 to get this team to work together with
3:57 3:59 the house voting hours after his
3:59 4:01 election on the first bill of any kind
4:01 4:03 in nearly a month a resolution
4:03 4:05 supporting Israel which passed with
4:05 4:08 overwhelming bipartisan support So
4:08 4:09 Garrett what's on the new speaker's
4:09 4:12 plate now well Lester the thorniest
4:12 4:13 issue will be funding the government the
4:13 4:15 same issue that ultimately cost Kevin
4:15 4:17 McCarthy's job Government funding runs
4:17 4:19 out in a little more than 3 weeks and
4:19 4:21 the house has wasted the last month so
4:21 4:23 the new speaker will need to put a plan
4:23 4:25 in action soon to avoid a shutdown just
4:25 4:27 before Thanksgiving Lester Garrett Han
4:27 4:29 at the capital thanks and I'm joined Now
4:29 4:31 by Kristen Welker the moderator of Meet
4:31 4:33 the Press Kristen you have new reporting
4:33 4:35 about how all this came together Lester
4:35 4:36 that's right the newly elected speaker
4:36 4:39 Mike Johnson is the son of a firefighter
4:39 4:40 a cultural conservative as you just
4:40 4:43 heard Garrett say definitely not a
4:43 4:45 household name but look he won support
4:45 4:47 from GOP moderates in part because they
4:47 4:49 were under so much pressure as one told
4:49 4:51 me this afternoon you can't let the
4:51 4:53 perfect be the enemy of the good now
4:53 4:55 Johnson will likely have a steep
4:55 4:56 learning curve as someone who has never
4:56 4:58 been in a top leadership position he
4:58 5:00 represents ruby red District in
5:00 5:02 Louisiana and now has to hold together
5:02 5:05 this razor thin Republican majority so
5:05 5:06 it's going to be tough Before I Let You
5:06 5:08 Go a headline of the former president
5:08 5:11 Trump's Civil Trial today what happened
5:11 5:12 this was a dramatic turn of events
5:12 5:15 Lester former president Trump stormed
5:15 5:16 out of him manhatton courtroom after a
5:16 5:18 tense day after the judge refused his
5:18 5:21 attorney's request to dismiss the case
5:21 5:23 the judge in this civil fraud trial also
5:23 5:24 called Mr Trump to take the witness
5:24 5:27 stand to explain disparaging comments he
5:27 5:29 made in the hallway about the clerk the
5:29 5:31 judge said those comments violated a gag
5:31 5:33 order barring Mr Trump for making
5:33 5:35 personal attacks the Republican front
5:35 5:37 runner was fined $10,000 outside Court
5:37 5:40 Mr Trump insisted he has done nothing
5:40 5:42 wrong and Kristen a little news of our
5:42 5:43 own to share with folks you and I will
5:43 5:45 be moderating the Republican primary
5:45 5:48 debate on Wednesday November 8th live
5:48 5:50 from Miami Hugh huitt will join us as
5:50 5:52 well and Kristen there will be I suspect
5:52 5:54 a lot to discuss a lot to discuss
5:54 5:56 looking forward to it last absolutely
5:56 5:58 thanks very much the Israel Hamas war
5:58 6:00 will be one of the many major topics in
6:00 6:02 that debate and today President Biden
6:02 6:05 pressed Israel to protect civilians in
6:05 6:07 Gaza Chief foreign correspondent Richard
6:07 6:11 angle has late
6:11 6:13 details the Middle East tonight is on
6:13 6:16 the edge of disaster Gaza is being
6:16 6:18 flattened horrific images are stoking
6:18 6:20 rage across the Muslim
6:20 6:23 world tonight President Biden tried to
6:23 6:25 pull the region back from the brink
6:25 6:27 saying Israel has a right and
6:27 6:30 responsibility to Target Hamas but that
6:30 6:32 it has an obligation to protect
6:32 6:36 Palestinian civilians is his power as
6:36 6:37 difficult it is to protect innocent
6:37 6:40 civilians that's difficult he condemned
6:40 6:42 Hamas for using civilians as human
6:42 6:45 Shields and says he has no confidence in
6:45 6:47 claims by the Hamas run Gaza Health
6:47 6:50 Ministry that 6,500 Palestinian
6:50 6:52 civilians have been killed in the last 2
6:52 6:54 and a half weeks I have no notion the
6:54 6:56 Palestinians are telling the truth about
6:56 6:58 how many people are killed I'm sure
6:58 7:00 Innocents have been killed
7:00 7:02 and it's a price of waging a war
7:02 7:04 Israel's allies in the Middle East were
7:04 7:06 more blunt Jordan's King Abdullah saying
7:06 7:09 stopping the war on Gaza is an absolute
7:09 7:11 necessity and that the conflict can lead
7:11 7:13 to an explosion in the
7:13 7:16 region the president of Egypt the first
7:16 7:18 country to sign a peace Accord with
7:18 7:20 Israel delivering the same message
7:20 7:23 alongside French president
7:23 7:26 macron in Gaza today our crew filmed
7:26 7:28 building after building destroyed by
7:28 7:30 Israeli air
7:30 7:32 strikes Israel today said it's targeting
7:32 7:35 Hamas tunnels that run under homes
7:35 7:37 schools and
7:37 7:39 hospitals in one building we saw this
7:39 7:44 little girl inside of what's left of her
7:44 7:47 apartment rescue workers tell her to
7:47 7:49 stay calm that they're nearly done
7:49 7:53 removing debris her leg is trapped under
7:53 7:56 concrete they try to free her without
7:56 7:58 collapsing the pocket she's
7:58 8:00 in
8:00 8:04 and finally she's
8:04 8:07 saved hamas's backer Iran today blamed
8:07 8:08 the United States for what's happening
8:08 8:11 in Gaza Pro Iranian militias have
8:11 8:13 already carried out probing attacks
8:13 8:16 against us bases in Syria and Iraq today
8:16 8:18 Hezbollah in Lebanon released this
8:18 8:20 ominous photograph of the group's
8:20 8:22 shadowy leader meeting with senior
8:22 8:24 members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic
8:24 8:27 Jihad in front of a photograph of Iran's
8:27 8:29 supreme leader President Biden had a
8:29 8:32 message for him my warning to the
8:32 8:35 Ayatollah was that if they continue to
8:35 8:37 move against those troops we will
8:37 8:40 respond and he should be prepared and
8:40 8:42 Richard President Biden also making
8:42 8:43 headlines today with some pretty blunt
8:43 8:46 criticism of Israeli settlers on the
8:46 8:48 West
8:48 8:50 Bank this was a different speech than
8:50 8:52 we've heard from President Biden since
8:52 8:54 the start of this conflict he said he's
8:54 8:56 alarmed by extremist settlers attacking
8:56 8:58 Palestinians in the West Bank and he
8:58 9:01 called for return to the peace process
9:01 9:03 based on a two-state solution Lester
9:03 9:05 Richard angle thank you as we've been
9:05 9:07 reporting hospitals in Gaza are
9:07 9:09 struggling to care for all the wounded
9:09 9:11 and many Palestinians are looking for a

9:38 9:40 is open the World Health Organization
9:40 9:42 says six hospitals in Gaza have already
9:42 9:45 shut down due to a lack of fuel the
9:45 9:47 Ministry of Health in Gaza an agency of
9:47 9:49 the Hamas controlled government says the
9:49 9:52 number of closed hospitals is actually
9:52 9:54 twice that saying the health system in
9:54 9:57 Gaza is in a state of complete collapse
9:57 9:59 we're running out of everything from
9:59 10:02 from simple dressings to complex Burns
10:02 10:05 dressings we have over 150 patients
10:05 10:08 ventilated in intensive care areas the
10:08 10:10 hospitals throughout Gaza that are open
10:10 10:13 struggling to keep up and in desperate
10:13 10:17 need of fuel Israel's military Hamas has
10:17 10:20 plenty of fuel and that they could
10:20 10:22 provide it to the overrun hospitals in
10:22 10:25 Gaza Hamas denies
10:25 10:28 this there is no room for additional
10:28 10:31 patients Health Minister says we are now
10:31 10:33 using Hospital hallways and staircases
10:33 10:35 to treat the
10:35 10:39 injured humanitarian Aid is coming in
10:39 10:41 but not fast enough given the
10:41 10:45 demand at gaza's Main
10:45 10:47 morg even the shrouds used to cover the
10:47 10:51 dead are running out Ellison Barber NBC
10:51 10:54 News the Israel Gaza border as the world
10:54 10:56 debates the military response 19 days
10:56 10:59 since the worst terror attack in Israeli
10:59 11:01 history its leaders are trying to frame
11:01 11:04 the stakes today laying be the brutality
11:04 11:07 in graphic detail here's Raph
11:07 11:10 Sanchez it felt like there couldn't
11:10 11:13 possibly be new horror left to see no
11:13 11:14 brutality that hadn't already been
11:14 11:16 shared or live
11:16 11:18 streamed but tonight with global
11:18 11:20 attention turning to the spiraling death
11:20 11:22 toll in Gaza Israel's military trying to
11:22 11:24 keep the focus on the massacre that
11:24 11:27 sparked the war inviting NBC News and
11:27 11:29 other journalists to a screening of raw
11:29 11:31 video from the October 7th Hamas terror
11:31 11:34 attack I have some sense of what's in
11:34 11:35 this footage and I've been trying to
11:35 11:38 prepare myself but I'm still anxious
11:38 11:40 about what we're going to see for 46
11:40 11:43 minutes we sat in stunned silence
11:43 11:45 watching video filmed by Hamas and
11:45 11:48 filmed by their victims much of it had
11:48 11:50 never been seen before and while
11:50 11:52 Israel's military is not releasing the
11:52 11:54 clips because they're so graphic they
11:54 11:56 allowed us to describe what we saw
11:56 11:58 including a terrorist throwing a grenade
11:58 12:00 into to a bomb shelter where an Israeli
12:00 12:03 father is shielding his two young Sons
12:03 12:05 the blast kills the father and wounds
12:05 12:08 the little boys one of them howls why am
12:08 12:10 I alive and tells his brother I think
12:10 12:14 we're going to die a Hamas gunman stands
12:14 12:16 over them drinking Coke from their
12:16 12:18 fridge it's not clear what happened to
12:18 12:20 the boys I'm sure that you can figure
12:20 12:23 out that they are wors than Isis the way
12:23 12:26 they behave the military released this
12:26 12:28 video from a Hamas dash cam exclusively
12:28 12:31 to NBC news saying it shows a terrorists
12:31 12:33 using a heavy machine gun to mow down
12:33 12:35 survivors fleeing from the Supernova
12:35 12:39 Music Festival cuz I knew I just have to
12:39 12:41 survive I just have to run Millet Ben
12:41 12:43 Haim was among those running for their
12:43 12:45 lives when I was growing up there is
12:45 12:48 this movie about the Holocaust there is
12:48 12:51 this uh scene that they are uh running
12:51 12:52 uh and there is people shooting at them
12:52 12:54 and there is also like bombs on the
12:54 12:56 grounds and I remember really thinking
12:56 12:58 about this scene because it was so
12:58 13:00 similar she hid in a bush with friends
13:00 13:02 for hours waiting for rescue I don't
13:02 13:04 know who I am
13:04 13:08 and and I feel like a ghost most of the
13:08 13:11 times ref it's a lot to take is there a
13:11 13:13 sense this video could be seen
13:13 13:16 eventually by a wider
13:16 13:18 audience yeah Lester this video has only
13:18 13:21 been shown to journalists so far but
13:21 13:22 many ordinary Israelis are saying it

1:19 1:23 NBC Nightly News with Lester
1:23 1:26 Hol good evening and welcome Congress
1:26 1:28 has a new house Speaker tonight ending
1:28 1:30 three weeks of uncertainty and chaos
1:30 1:32 that along the way crushed the hopes of
1:32 1:35 a string of high-profile Republicans all
1:35 1:38 seeking the job after Kevin McCarthy was
1:38 1:40 booted from the post instead late today
1:40 1:42 the Republican majority mustering the
1:42 1:46 217 votes needed and then some to lift a
1:46 1:49 relative unknown Louisiana's Mike
1:49 1:52 Johnson to the speakers Podium Johnson a
1:52 1:54 hard-right conservative who in just
1:54 1:56 hours was propelled from minor party
1:56 1:58 leadership role to second in the
1:58 2:00 Constitutional line to the presidency
2:00 2:03 the new speaker sworn in this afternoon
2:03 2:05 in his first remarks declaring the
2:05 2:08 people's house is back in business our
2:08 2:09 Garrett H has been following all the
2:09 2:12 drama leading up to today's vote and has
2:12 2:14 late
2:14 2:16 details after three chaotic and
2:16 2:18 leaderless weeks tonight the house once
2:18 2:21 again has a speaker the speaker elect
2:21 2:23 Mike Johnson from the state of Louisiana
2:23 2:25 Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson
2:25 2:27 elected on a Partyline vote with the
2:27 2:31 support of every Republican
2:31 2:34 every Democrat opposed A stunning rise
2:34 2:36 for the Trump Ally and low-ranking
2:36 2:38 member of the GOP house leadership team
2:38 2:41 now second in line to the presidency the
2:41 2:43 challenge before us is great but the
2:43 2:46 time for Action is now Johnson is a
2:46 2:47 staunch conservative on issues like
2:47 2:50 abortion and government spending he also
2:50 2:52 played a key role in efforts by then
2:52 2:54 president Trump to overturn Joe Biden's
2:54 2:56 electoral victory in the 2020 election
2:56 2:59 history noted by democrats today Joe
2:59 3:04 Biden won the 2020 presidential election
3:04 3:07 no amount of election denialism will
3:07 3:11 ever change that reality are you worried
3:11 3:12 that a speaker Johnson would again
3:12 3:15 attempt to overturn the election no
3:15 3:17 Johnson's election caps a turbulent
3:17 3:19 month for the house beginning with the
3:19 3:21 ouster of former speaker Kevin McCarthy
3:21 3:23 and the elevation and withdrawal of
3:23 3:26 three other GOP nominees before the
3:26 3:28 party settled on the relatively unknown
3:28 3:30 Johnson late last night
3:30 3:32 if you don't think that moving from
3:32 3:34 Kevin McCarthy to Maga Mike Johnson
3:34 3:36 shows the ascendance of this movement
3:36 3:38 and where the power in the Republican
3:38 3:41 Party truly lies uh then then you're not
3:41 3:43 paying attention the eight Republicans
3:43 3:45 who led the effort to remove McCarthy
3:45 3:47 declaring Victory the only way to change
3:47 3:50 Washington is to change who's leading
3:50 3:52 Washington and that is what we did today
3:52 3:54 Johnson jolting the chamber back into
3:54 3:56 action I believe we're going to be able
3:56 3:57 to get this team to work together with
3:57 3:59 the house voting hours after his
3:59 4:01 election on the first bill of any kind
4:01 4:03 in nearly a month a resolution
4:03 4:05 supporting Israel which passed with
4:05 4:08 overwhelming bipartisan support So
4:08 4:09 Garrett what's on the new speaker's
4:09 4:12 plate now well Lester the thorniest
4:12 4:13 issue will be funding the government the
4:13 4:15 same issue that ultimately cost Kevin
4:15 4:17 McCarthy's job Government funding runs
4:17 4:19 out in a little more than 3 weeks and
4:19 4:21 the house has wasted the last month so
4:21 4:23 the new speaker will need to put a plan
4:23 4:25 in action soon to avoid a shutdown just
4:25 4:27 before Thanksgiving Lester Garrett Han
4:27 4:29 at the capital thanks and I'm joined Now
4:29 4:31 by Kristen Welker the moderator of Meet
4:31 4:33 the Press Kristen you have new reporting
4:33 4:35 about how all this came together Lester
4:35 4:36 that's right the newly elected speaker
4:36 4:39 Mike Johnson is the son of a firefighter
4:39 4:40 a cultural conservative as you just
4:40 4:43 heard Garrett say definitely not a
4:43 4:45 household name but look he won support
4:45 4:47 from GOP moderates in part because they
4:47 4:49 were under so much pressure as one told
4:49 4:51 me this afternoon you can't let the
4:51 4:53 perfect be the enemy of the good now
4:53 4:55 Johnson will likely have a steep
4:55 4:56 learning curve as someone who has never
4:56 4:58 been in a top leadership position he
4:58 5:00 represents ruby red District in
5:00 5:02 Louisiana and now has to hold together
5:02 5:05 this razor thin Republican majority so
5:05 5:06 it's going to be tough Before I Let You
5:06 5:08 Go a headline of the former president
5:08 5:11 Trump's Civil Trial today what happened
5:11 5:12 this was a dramatic turn of events
5:12 5:15 Lester former president Trump stormed
5:15 5:16 out of him manhatton courtroom after a
5:16 5:18 tense day after the judge refused his
5:18 5:21 attorney's request to dismiss the case
5:21 5:23 the judge in this civil fraud trial also
5:23 5:24 called Mr Trump to take the witness
5:24 5:27 stand to explain disparaging comments he
5:27 5:29 made in the hallway about the clerk the
5:29 5:31 judge said those comments violated a gag
5:31 5:33 order barring Mr Trump for making
5:33 5:35 personal attacks the Republican front
5:35 5:37 runner was fined $10,000 outside Court
5:37 5:40 Mr Trump insisted he has done nothing
5:40 5:42 wrong and Kristen a little news of our
5:42 5:43 own to share with folks you and I will
5:43 5:45 be moderating the Republican primary
5:45 5:48 debate on Wednesday November 8th live
5:48 5:50 from Miami Hugh huitt will join us as
5:50 5:52 well and Kristen there will be I suspect
5:52 5:54 a lot to discuss a lot to discuss
5:54 5:56 looking forward to it last absolutely
5:56 5:58 thanks very much the Israel Hamas war
5:58 6:00 will be one of the many major topics in
6:00 6:02 that debate and today President Biden
6:02 6:05 pressed Israel to protect civilians in
6:05 6:07 Gaza Chief foreign correspondent Richard
6:07 6:11 angle has late
6:11 6:13 details the Middle East tonight is on
6:13 6:16 the edge of disaster Gaza is being
6:16 6:18 flattened horrific images are stoking
6:18 6:20 rage across the Muslim
6:20 6:23 world tonight President Biden tried to
6:23 6:25 pull the region back from the brink
6:25 6:27 saying Israel has a right and
6:27 6:30 responsibility to Target Hamas but that
6:30 6:32 it has an obligation to protect
6:32 6:36 Palestinian civilians is his power as
6:36 6:37 difficult it is to protect innocent
6:37 6:40 civilians that's difficult he condemned
6:40 6:42 Hamas for using civilians as human
6:42 6:45 Shields and says he has no confidence in
6:45 6:47 claims by the Hamas run Gaza Health
6:47 6:50 Ministry that 6,500 Palestinian
6:50 6:52 civilians have been killed in the last 2
6:52 6:54 and a half weeks I have no notion the
6:54 6:56 Palestinians are telling the truth about
6:56 6:58 how many people are killed I'm sure
6:58 7:00 Innocents have been killed
7:00 7:02 and it's a price of waging a war
7:02 7:04 Israel's allies in the Middle East were
7:04 7:06 more blunt Jordan's King Abdullah saying
7:06 7:09 stopping the war on Gaza is an absolute
7:09 7:11 necessity and that the conflict can lead
7:11 7:13 to an explosion in the
7:13 7:16 region the president of Egypt the first
7:16 7:18 country to sign a peace Accord with
7:18 7:20 Israel delivering the same message
7:20 7:23 alongside French president
7:23 7:26 macron in Gaza today our crew filmed
7:26 7:28 building after building destroyed by
7:28 7:30 Israeli air
7:30 7:32 strikes Israel today said it's targeting
7:32 7:35 Hamas tunnels that run under homes
7:35 7:37 schools and
7:37 7:39 hospitals in one building we saw this
7:39 7:44 little girl inside of what's left of her
7:44 7:47 apartment rescue workers tell her to
7:47 7:49 stay calm that they're nearly done
7:49 7:53 removing debris her leg is trapped under
7:53 7:56 concrete they try to free her without
7:56 7:58 collapsing the pocket she's
7:58 8:00 in
8:00 8:04 and finally she's
8:04 8:07 saved hamas's backer Iran today blamed
8:07 8:08 the United States for what's happening
8:08 8:11 in Gaza Pro Iranian militias have
8:11 8:13 already carried out probing attacks
8:13 8:16 against us bases in Syria and Iraq today
8:16 8:18 Hezbollah in Lebanon released this
8:18 8:20 ominous photograph of the group's
8:20 8:22 shadowy leader meeting with senior
8:22 8:24 members of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic
8:24 8:27 Jihad in front of a photograph of Iran's
8:27 8:29 supreme leader President Biden had a
8:29 8:32 message for him my warning to the
8:32 8:35 Ayatollah was that if they continue to
8:35 8:37 move against those troops we will
8:37 8:40 respond and he should be prepared and
8:40 8:42 Richard President Biden also making
8:42 8:43 headlines today with some pretty blunt
8:43 8:46 criticism of Israeli settlers on the
8:46 8:48 West
8:48 8:50 Bank this was a different speech than
8:50 8:52 we've heard from President Biden since
8:52 8:54 the start of this conflict he said he's
8:54 8:56 alarmed by extremist settlers attacking
8:56 8:58 Palestinians in the West Bank and he
8:58 9:01 called for return to the peace process
9:01 9:03 based on a two-state solution Lester
9:03 9:05 Richard angle thank you as we've been
9:05 9:07 reporting hospitals in Gaza are
9:07 9:09 struggling to care for all the wounded
9:09 9:11 and many Palestinians are looking for a
9:11 9:14 safe haven the Gaza Health Ministry says

9:38 9:40 is open the World Health Organization
9:40 9:42 says six hospitals in Gaza have already
9:42 9:45 shut down due to a lack of fuel the
9:45 9:47 Ministry of Health in Gaza an agency of
9:47 9:49 the Hamas controlled government says the
9:49 9:52 number of closed hospitals is actually
9:52 9:54 twice that saying the health system in
9:54 9:57 Gaza is in a state of complete collapse
9:57 9:59 we're running out of everything from

10:02 10:05 dressings we have over 150 patients
10:05 10:08 ventilated in intensive care areas the
10:08 10:10 hospitals throughout Gaza that are open
10:10 10:13 struggling to keep up and in desperate
10:13 10:17 need of fuel Israel's military Hamas has
10:17 10:20 plenty of fuel and that they could
10:20 10:22 provide it to the overrun hospitals in
10:22 10:25 Gaza Hamas denies
10:25 10:28 this there is no room for additional
10:28 10:31 patients Health Minister says we are now
10:31 10:33 using Hospital hallways and staircases
10:33 10:35 to treat the
10:35 10:39 injured humanitarian Aid is coming in
10:39 10:41 but not fast enough given the
10:41 10:45 demand at gaza's Main
10:45 10:47 morg even the shrouds used to cover the
10:47 10:51 dead are running out Ellison Barber NBC
10:51 10:54 News the Israel Gaza border as the world
10:54 10:56 debates the military response 19 days
10:56 10:59 since the worst terror attack in Israeli
10:59 11:01 history its leaders are trying to frame
11:01 11:04 the stakes today laying be the brutality
11:04 11:07 in graphic detail here's Raph
11:07 11:10 Sanchez it felt like there couldn't
11:10 11:13 possibly be new horror left to see no
11:13 11:14 brutality that hadn't already been
11:14 11:16 shared or live
11:16 11:18 streamed but tonight with global
11:18 11:20 attention turning to the spiraling death
11:20 11:22 toll in Gaza Israel's military trying to
11:22 11:24 keep the focus on the massacre that
11:24 11:27 sparked the war inviting NBC News and
11:27 11:29 other journalists to a screening of raw
11:29 11:31 video from the October 7th Hamas terror
11:31 11:34 attack I have some sense of what's in
11:34 11:35 this footage and I've been trying to
11:35 11:38 prepare myself but I'm still anxious
11:38 11:40 about what we're going to see for 46
11:40 11:43 minutes we sat in stunned silence
11:43 11:45 watching video filmed by Hamas and
11:45 11:48 filmed by their victims much of it had
11:48 11:50 never been seen before and while
11:50 11:52 Israel's military is not releasing the
11:52 11:54 clips because they're so graphic they
11:54 11:56 allowed us to describe what we saw
11:56 11:58 including a terrorist throwing a grenade
11:58 12:00 into to a bomb shelter where an Israeli
12:00 12:03 father is shielding his two young Sons
12:03 12:05 the blast kills the father and wounds
12:05 12:08 the little boys one of them howls why am
12:08 12:10 I alive and tells his brother I think
12:10 12:14 we're going to die a Hamas gunman stands
12:14 12:16 over them drinking Coke from their
12:16 12:18 fridge it's not clear what happened to
12:18 12:20 the boys I'm sure that you can figure
12:20 12:23 out that they are wors than Isis the way
12:23 12:26 they behave the military released this
12:26 12:28 video from a Hamas dash cam exclusively
12:28 12:31 to NBC news saying it shows a terrorists
12:31 12:33 using a heavy machine gun to mow down
12:33 12:35 survivors fleeing from the Supernova
12:35 12:39 Music Festival cuz I knew I just have to
12:39 12:41 survive I just have to run Millet Ben
12:41 12:43 Haim was among those running for their
12:43 12:45 lives when I was growing up there is
12:45 12:48 this movie about the Holocaust there is
12:48 12:51 this uh scene that they are uh running
12:51 12:52 uh and there is people shooting at them
12:52 12:54 and there is also like bombs on the
12:54 12:56 grounds and I remember really thinking
12:56 12:58 about this scene because it was so
12:58 13:00 similar she hid in a bush with friends
13:00 13:02 for hours waiting for rescue I don't
13:02 13:04 know who I am
13:04 13:08 and and I feel like a ghost most of the
13:08 13:11 times ref it's a lot to take is there a
13:11 13:13 sense this video could be seen
13:13 13:16 eventually by a wider
13:16 13:18 audience yeah Lester this video has only
13:18 13:21 been shown to journalists so far but
13:21 13:22 many ordinary Israelis are saying it
13:22 13:24 should be made public for the whole
13:24 13:26 world to see all right Raph Sanchez
