Earlier attempts to get the U. N. Security council to agree on a position on gaza failed.

This time, members took a more modest approach.

and their diplomatic respondent, malle kellman, followed the vote. And john, just now, Michelle.

thanked for being with this. Nice to be her.

Maybe the news here is what this resolution does not call for, which is a ceasefire. Can you tell us why?

yeah. I mean the U. S opposes IT um before this voted had actually vetoed U. N. Calls for a ceasefire and U. S.

Ambassador Linda is Green field says diplomats worked hard all week to get this latest draft to a place where the U. S. Could abstain and let IT grow through. Take a listen to what he had decided. Reporters, after the resolution was adopted.

the resolution is not perfect. We were appalled that some council members still refuse to condemn her masses. Horrific terrorist attack on october seventh would set so much child break and suffering in motion. Well.

he says the us. Doesn't support a ceasefire because israel has the right to go after her mosh SHE says israel is willing to pause fighting, as IT did for a week last month, if a mass releases more hostages. That's diplomacy that's going on outside of the chAmbers of the U.

N. Security council. But inside the chAmber, the U. S. Has gotten a lot of flag for its position on this situation, both, you know, around the world, but also here in the united states.

What's s the resolution actually do?

So IT calls for urgent steps to allow safe and unhindered humAnitarian access across gaza, and IT IT talks about creating the conditions for a sustainable sensation of hostilities. That kind of the broad language in there. The ambassador from the united arab emirates, long a new saby, says he thinks that will make a difference on the ground and IT will help to get more aid and to gaza, which he says is urgent. But IT definitely fell short of what he had hoed to get. Here's what he said after the vote.

IT is not lost on us that while today we start building a humAnitarian architecture that responds to an intolerable situation, we are still unable to stop the war. IT is not lost on us that despite the incredible damage visited upon them with impunity, palestinians are also to accept that diplomacy is the art of what is possible.

the art of what is possible. So getting this resolution through, which doesn't call for a ceasefire, but does, he says, offer a glimmer of hope for palestinians right now.

let's look ahead at adventure over the orizondo. We're going to be more efforts to try to get the united nations more involved in gaza.

Well, that's the idea to have A U. N. Coordinator overseen the aid Operation and then reporting back to the security council.

So there will likely be more debates and probably more pressure on the U. S. To change its state.

And here's diplomatically responded. Michelle kEllen.

thanks so much. Thank you.

In gaza itself, the population continues to crowd into any shelter they can fine.

And the health ministry there says the death toll has surpassed twenty thousand people. And here is Carry. Kon joins from television. Kerry, thanks for being with this.

thanks.

We're having me, you and agencies and others have been giving increasingly dire warnings about conditions in gaza. What's the latest you've heard?

First of all, more than eighty five percent of gaza, according to the U. N, have been displaced from their homes and into southern gaza. That's in around the city of rosa.

That's nearly two million people scot. Food and water is scarce as our toilets, hundreds of thousands of kids under five, are on the brink of severe malnutrition. And that's according to unif.

Overcrowding is an understatement. Most people are living in schools. Or make ship tense, electricity sporadic. And IT rained hard here last night with thunder and its cold.

You've had some communications with one of our producers in gaza on us. boba. What have you heard from IT?

It's been very hard to keep in touch with him. This week. He was able to send us some interviews about people dealing with the lack of phone and internet services. I want to play a little bit from mohamad nama a. He's describing this hopelessness that he feels of not being in communication with anyone.

suffer from war and coming .

everywhere. And then you can even check up on the safety of your brother, who could be living just one hundred meters away. There is no way to just communicate. Mask, are you okay? Do you need anything or require your help here?

What is israeli said about the displacement of so many civilians? And is there any indication of of when people can begin to go back home? We have an office man destroyed.

I'll note that israel says IT is hamas that has put so many civilians in danger. And that's by building tunnels and command centers and storing weapons in these dense populated places. Israel has just ordered new evacuations for even more residents out of central gaza. I just want to play a little bit from an english teacher below shabir, who lives in central gaza. He doesn't know where to go now, and he's still grieving the death of some of the students, many who were killed.

Those little children and kids are very beautiful. Their hearts are like the birds, little birds. I do love them so much and I do miss them. I really cried like a little boy. It's IT was like, very tough for me.

I'll know that president biden yesterday says he was hard, broken himself about the news of a seventy three old israeli american to citizen who was believed to be a hostage but had actually been killed by homes in the october seventh attack, and his body was taken to gaza.

What do we know about israel's military phase right now?

Military officials say they anticipate soon having, quote, Operational control around as a city in the north, there are fierce battles raging and communities, one of the largest cities in the south. And that's where they believe that, uh, leaders of a master hiding out that according to military officials, israel's defense minister yoga said last night that forces are preparing for .

a further expansion into gaa. The galleon says .

the Operation will be extensive, IT will be long and IT will require patients.

And there's Carry con until of you. Thanks so much for being with us.

You're welcome.

Two paramedics were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of twenty three year old eliza.

claim he died four years ago. Colorado public radios Allison Sherry has been following the trial and joins us. Allison, thanks for being with us.

Thanks for having .

me and please remind us the circumstances under which ligion clain died.

Yeah he was walking home from a convenient store in a denver suburb of aora in twenty twenty. When someone called and reported that he was acting strAngely. Police violently detained him.

They called paramedics, and soon he was dead. Initially, local prosecutors declined to charge the three police officers and two paramedics who were involved. But a year later, when George flaid was killed by police in minneapolis, hurado governor democrats jered police reopened the case and assigned a special prosecutor. The police officers were tried in two separate trials this fall, and then the paramedics these past several weeks. So their convictions now wp up all the prosecutions.

In this case, the paramedic at loge mccan was what they called a state of, quote, excited delirium.

yeah. Diagnosis that since been discounted by medical professionals, IT was mostly a long enforcement definition, describing someone who was possibly overdosing, acting out of their mind, sometimes having superhuman strength. So the paramedics gave mclean a dose of the sensitive kadee, which the coroner says was the main contributor to his death in the hospital several days later. And again, mccane wasn't doing anything wrong or suspected of committing in a crime at the time the police detain.

Why were the paramedics convicted of criminally negligent homicide is opposed to to medical male practice?

He had a good question, you know, because of that autopsy I mentioned, you know, this case in some ways, was straight forward, body worn camera footage shows the paramedics doing almost nothing to help my plane from the moment they get on the scene to the six minutes later, when they give him an overdose of academy for his body weight. Then after they give him academy, they didn't really do anything either. They can let him lie there for a few more minutes before loading him under the ambuLance, where they discovered he had no pause. So all of that amounted to what prosecutors say was reckless negligence.

What did the paramedic say in their defense?

You know, really the paramedics, jeremy Cooper and Peter chicky, a stuck with this excited delirium story throughout. They took the stand in the their own defense. They said they followed their training to for delirium to a tea.

The body one cambridge footage shows clean was an exhibiting excited delirium symptoms, especially when the paramedics arrived, he was handcuffed. He was still struggling with police, who he told he couldn't breathe, but he wasn't showing signs of a crazy strength through deliciousness. So the paramedics saying that under earth, I think, could have seemed a little hollow to the jurors.

five men have not been tried in the death of a large room, claim three police officers and the two parameters s all of whom or White do they all get criminal convictions?

no. Two of the officers originally charges were acquitted, but officer Randy rodesia and these two paramedics kuprin shakya were all convicted of criminally negligent homicide, and all of them will be sentenced next year. And it's a pretty big sentencing range in colorado from centre. So no present time at all to six years. The paramedic supervisor, though i'll know I was let away in handcuffs friday because he was also convicted of an assault charge that guarantees custody.

And alison, what's been the response of the allege? Mclean's family.

will sinan mclean, alliance mclaren's mother, was extremely emotional. Afterwards, you left the courtroom saying, we did IT in tears with supporters. SHE texted me late friday that she's still processing the verdict. She's helping to speak to reporters next .
