I'm high in the Swiss Alps, 3,300 metres above sea level. People come from all over the world to see these views, soaring snow-capped peaks and the blue ice of glaciers. But it's a view that's changing. Global warming is causing glaciers to melt at record levels. 273 billion tonnes of ice is disappearing every year.

Glaciers are also a crucial source of fresh water. They store the winter snow and release it in spring and summer for crops and drinking water. Less ice means disrupted water supplies, flooding and landslides. Sulanya Mishra of the World Meteorological Organization says the consequences will affect us all.

Every slight increase in the Earth's temperature speeds up the thaw. If we don't act to limit global warming, scientists say, most of the glaciers I can see up here will be gone by the end of this century. And if that happens, they warn, we will lose so much more than a beautiful view.

It's not the first report carried out by this commission of inquiry into the human rights situation in Gaza and the occupied territories. We've had one that looked specifically at the situation for health care, things like denial of access of humanitarian supplies and so on. This one looks at this particular aspect.

stripped, held naked in the cold for many days, then taken to a prison inside Israel, beaten, sometimes raped. Now, some of these people who've endured this actually came to Geneva this week and testified in public. So important, they said, was it to them? to get the message out there.

I would say, of course, that Israel has rejected this and said it always investigates members of the armed forces who may have or allegedly have behaved badly. There's little faith that that is really happening from the UN team. They say there appears to be a climate of impunity.

This is a particularly interesting aspect of this report because the legal definition of genocide is very, very narrow. But one of the definitions is an attempt to suppress or stop births among a particular group, ethnic or religious group.
