After two years of war in Gaza, tens of thousands of civilians are dead. More than 20,000 of them children. >> A fragile ceasefire is mostly holding, but calls by rights groups and some governments remain for independent war crimes investigations into Israel's conduct in Gaza.Like every other news organization, NBC journalists were barred from the battlefield.

I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat loaded with drugs down from the United States back over so they could stay in the fight and potentially given all the contacts we heard of other naroterrorist boats in the area coming to their aid to recover their caro and recover those narot terrorists. And just like you would blow up a boat off of the Somali coast or the Yemeni coast and you'd come back and strike it again if it still had terrorists and it still had explosives or missiles. Admiral Bradley and Secr ...

In a rare break from the Trump administration, the Republican led Armed Services Committee in the House and Senate are investigating the deadly US strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. The probes come in the wake of a Washington Post report about a September 2nd strike, the first of at least 21 attacks that have killed 83 people to date. The Post cites two sources with direct knowledge who said Defense Secretary Pete Hegath ordered the attack, leave no survivors, resulting in a follow-up strike to ...

General, a lot to sort through here and yet it really does seem simple.

But Andy McCarthy puts it two ways.First of all, he says he doesn't think this constitutes war attacking these boats. um and says if it doesn't constitute war, it's murder. But even if you believe, and he says, even for argument's sa ...

Russia's bombardment of Ukrainian cities is relentless as Vladimir Putin tries to plunge civilians into a winter of cold and darkness. President Putin's war approaching four years threatens to draw in all of Europe. Targeting civilians has been an international war crime since 1949. The crimes you're about to see are hard to watch.

We could see where the warhead crashed through to the basement. The Russians claim they were aiming at a military awards ceremony, but prosecutor Vitali Doval says that doesn't explain how no troops were hit and why two missiles fell on c ...

Putin and his allies who are secure in Russia are unlikely to face justice. But Ukraine is holding trials. There have been 211 convictions, many Russian troops, though nearly all of the defendants are at large.Still, prosecutor Vitali Doval has patience. He showed us where evidence for future trials is warehoused, including crashed drones. and mangled missiles.On each part, we find a serial number. We identify the part where the part was manufactured and when this missile was assembled in a factory. In the ...
