Only good thing? The Israeli MIC is like "We want to do war crimes faster. The hostages are getting in the way of our progress."

Israeli PM adviser: Only good thing about hostage video is proof of life

Mark Regev is a senior advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netayahu and has been speaking to our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet.

"The only good thing about this video is we have visual proof these women are alive", he says when asked about the video of three hostages released by Hamas earlier.

Regev says he cannot imagine the pain the hostages are experiencing on a daily basis.

He adds: "We don’t believe that Hamas is going to release these hostages because suddenly Hamas is becoming boy scouts or a humanitarian organisation... Hamas is a brutal, ruthless, extreme, barbaric organisation... We've seen the sort of violence they're capable of first-hand."

He goes on to say Hamas will only release hostages "if they're under pressure" and Israel believes the best way to do that is ratchet up the military pressure on the group at the same time as putting international diplomatic pressure on its allies.

"Israel today, Israel tomorrow, and Israel forever"

I spliced a couple videos together. I have no idea how it should transition from each clip so I just used a fade out.

Anyone know how it's going in Bolivia with the party/gov split?

Situation escalating on US-Lebanon border with Israeli town, military position hit

Several explosions were heard here in Naqoura , for example. Now it’s evening so you can see anything but the Israeli positions behind me, there were huge explosions. Also it was claimed by Hezbollah that they have used today for the first time explosive laden drones and hit an Israeli command center towards the east.

There were around 25 to 30 rockets launched from Lebanon towards the Israeli positions and as we just heard now towards Kiryat Shmona where there was an impact. A rocket hit a residential area there. So situation is unfolding on an hourly basis. This is the first time that Hezbollah is using explosive laden drones.

Also the rockets that we heard here in Naqoura being launched on the naval base, were a bit heavy and they were not intercepted by the Iron Dome. They were not guided missiles, they were surface to surface missiles. So the whole situation here is giving us an indication that things are escalating and this time they’re escalating in a kind of a dreadful way

normalize having a little nap ...a little slep

The city of Sderot is one of the closest places you can get to near the Gaza border and you can usually have a clear view into the northern parts of the enclave.

I’ve been here watching the war inside Gaza. It means we’ve been able to see the evidence of Israeli’s constant bombardment into the north – building after building that is damaged or completely destroyed.

The whole area looks like a big grey pile of ash, because any of the buildings that are left standing are covered in concrete dust. It’s actually pretty eerie to look at. An explosion in a night sky

Almost every few seconds, we hear the battle unfolding on the ground.

War planes fly overhead and then we hear a huge explosion – we see a massive plume of smoke rise into the sky. Another airstrike.

Suddenly there are several loud bangs close by. Israeli tanks stationed near the Gaza border are firing from the ground into the Strip. I see several bright flashes of light, as artillery is fired.

I can hear machine guns as Hamas militants are locked in gun battle with Israeli troops on the ground.

It sounds like it’s coming from the north but we can’t be sure because the Israeli military isn’t really telling us a lot of information of what’s happening on the ground.

United States to poison its service members in Japan with radiation to own China

REUTERS Exclusive: US military begins Japan seafood purchases to counter China ban. By John Geddie and Yukiko Toyoda

TOKYO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - The United States has for the first time begun buying Japanese seafood to supply its military there, a response to China's ban on such products imposed after Tokyo released treated water from its crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea.

Unveiling the initiative in a Reuters interview on Monday, U.S. ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel said Washington should also look more broadly into how it could help offset China's ban that he said was part of its "economic wars".

China, which had been the biggest buyer of Japanese seafood, says its ban is due to food safety fears.

The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog vouched for the safety of the water release that began in August from the plant wrecked by a 2011 tsunami. G7 trade ministers on Sunday called for the immediate repeal of bans on Japanese food.

"It's going to be a long-term contract between the U.S. armed forces and the fisheries and co-ops here in Japan," Emanuel said.

"The best way we have proven in all the instances to kind of wear out China's economic coercion is come to the aid and assistance of the targeted country or industry," he said.

The first purchase involves just shy of a metric ton of scallops, a tiny fraction of more than 100,000 tons of scallops that Japan exported to mainland China last year.

Emanuel said the purchases - which will feed soldiers in messes and aboard vessels as well as being sold in shops and restaurants on military bases - will increase over time to all types of seafood. The U.S. military had not previously bought local seafood in Japan, he said.

'NOT A CHINA HAWK'

Says a China hawk

Emanuel, who was former U.S. President Barack Obama's White House chief of staff, has in recent months made a series of blunt statements on China, taking aim at various issues including its economic policies, opaque decision-making and treatment of foreign firms.

That has come as top U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, have visited Beijing in an effort to draw a line under strained ties.

Asked if he considered himself hawkish on China, Emanuel rejected the term and said he was a "realist".

"I don't consider it hawkish but just consider it realist and honest. Maybe the honesty is painful, but it's honest," he said.

"I'm all for stability, understanding. That doesn't mean you're not honest. They're not contradictory. One of the ways you establish stability, is that you're able to be honest with each other."

He said China faced major economic challenges exacerbated by a leadership intent on turning their backs on international systems.

"The kind of loser in this is the youth of China. You now have a situation where 30% of the Chinese youth, one out of three, are unemployed. You have major cities with unfinished housing ... you have major municipalities not able to pay city workers. Why? Because China made a political decision to turn their back on a system in which they were benefiting."

The most recent official youth unemployment data from China, published in July before Beijing said it was suspending publication of the numbers, showed it jumping to a record high of 21.3%.

Emanuel said he was also keeping a close watch on how China's leadership responds to the recent death of former Premier Li Keqiang, a reformist who was sidelined by President Xi Jinping.

"What's ... interesting to me, that I think is telltale, is how they will be treating his funeral and how they'll be treating comments about him," he said.

"I do think that there's kind of a section of China that sees what kind of policies he was pursuing as kind of the best of China. But that's up for China to decide."
