hello and welcome everybody, it's half past noon here in the iran in capital tehran. you're watching press tv's world news. our top story for this half hour israel's indiscriminate attacks continue to claim more palestinian lives after five months into the regime's genocidal war on the basige gaza strip at least six people were killed in air strikes and shootings by israeli forces who targeted civilians in central gaza. in the west of gaza city israely forces once again open fire. on palestinian civilians waiting for eight trucks, killing at least five people and injuring over 20 others, meanwile malnutrition and dehydration continue to recavec on the palestinian population, a 15-year-old teenager and a 72-year-old man have died in two hospitals due to lack of food and water. gaza's medical sources say the number of people dying of malnutrition of and dehydration in gaza has surged to two uh to 20, that is, more than 30,700 gazens, most of them women and children have been killed since c slot started early last october.

jamie mcgoldrick, un humanitarian coordinator for the occupied palestinian territories says warned of serious secute malnutrition in northern parts of gaza. he says un will assess on thursday how it can use an israeli military controlled road to deliver more humanitarian aid to desperate palestinians. "hunger has reached catastrophic levels and especially in the north of gaza which we haven't served for for weeks and yesterday's convoy attempt was again disrupted because of the the ransacking of that and the insecurity, the children are now as we seeing the the images on the media who are dying of hunger related diseases and in order to prevent that from happening we have to have a plan that allows us to you know prevent famin that we need to significantly scale up the of humanity. and assistance in there and that

would be that you know we have to use this military road, this fence road at the side on the eastern side to allow material to come from the crossing point at karam shalom and rafa all the way up to the north and into the north, this road runs parallel to the the edge of gaza strip is on the eastern side and it's road that the military use to use their own um you supply lines and deliver you know moving in, they have number crossing points into below carne. there's a place called berry which is the crossing point they'll probably use, the idea would be that um uh that you get the the trucks scanned and there'll be 14 or 15 trucks from wfp will be scanned, they go outside onto the roads and then they enter into this route, i think it's called route 93 or 96 and then you go north on that road, there is no traffic on that road other than the military traffic and we have to get up at least 300 trucks a day, right now we're lucky if we're getting about

150 and so to to address those issues properly we have to do that and these other options like airdrops, these are helpful, but these are not going to address the significant needs which can only be done by by road transport and that's something we have to do and is when you get a time like ramadan coming up it pulls into focus how desperate people find themselves in, so i think people are looking for a way to get back to something normal, something more stable and something more certain, and hopefully that will happen. in the near future and hopefully that we get some sort of pause which will allow us to stabilize people's health, people people's food security. political analyst jeffa ramini joined us with his take on the humanitarian catastrophe in gas, especially starvation that is being used as a weapon by the israeli regime against palestinians. since the beginning of this latest war against the...

palestinian people, they are very open about it, no food, water, no medicine, no fuel, no electricity, nothing will go into gaza, which is the call and open call for genocide and every single country in the world is still saying israel has a right to defend itself, even when israel killed 119 people last week who were cuewing for food out of starvation and first the united states still used their to at the security council to condemn this killing of palestinians in cold blood because the language, they were not happy with the language that was used, top of that, the so-called civilized western parts, when they talk about gaza, palestine and the israelis,

the are their main concern is always the release of the israeli hostages, no talk. the palestinian hostages and prisoners who are languishing in israeli jays for years without charge, and while america is at the helm, israel will continue to get away with murder, because starvation, using food and water and medicine as open of war is a war crime and a crime against humanity. the chinese foreign minister says his country supports a full un membership of a palestinian state, urging other members of the security council to refrain from creating any obstacle to the issue. china firmly supports the just cause

the palestinian people to restore their legitimate national rights and has always been committed to a comprehensive and lasting solution to the palestinian issue. we support palestine. membership as full united nations member state and call on certain security council members not to set obstacles to this. wangy also called the ongoing deadly israeli onsad on gaza a tragedy for humanind and a disgrace for civilization. he reiterated beijing's calls for immediate cease fire saying there are no justifications for continuation of war and no excuses for the killing of civilians. the top chinese diplomats said that historical injustice is suffered by the palestinian people cannot continue for generations without being corrected, beijing has always been sympathetic to the palestinian cause and supportive of two-state solution. palestinian

delegation is in new york to meet with the un chief and the president of the security council to highlight gaza's catastrophic conditions, two medics accomanying the group recount their horrowing experience and loss their family members during oppressor held alongside the palestinian envoy to the un. let's take a listen. you guys heard it in tvs and everything, but honestly we lived every single day for 13 days in gaza and it wasn't easy. uh, you saw all what you're going to hear this, i saw it in my eyes and i've treated patients and i cried every single day, and thank god that i came back here to at least be their voice, not my voice, their voice. i'm max surgeon, i lived in a state, i volunteer lot mission, so i joined a mission recently to the european hospital in gaza, i stayed there for two weeks, we lived at the hospital, we treated a lot of patients, we as a group we treated more than 200 patients, myself i treated 16 surgeries uh, it's not

the surgeries you've done, it's a man of displaced people and the active refugee camp that i lived in, uh, people live in the tents, live in the floor, live. the awards, since the 7th of october, my family members, over 150 of them have been murdered by israel's brutal assault on gaza, either by israeli bombardment, snipers, or the cruel and ruthless denial of humanitarian aid, with no access to clean water, with food, equitable healthcare services, thousands more have been tormented with horrific injuries, forced starvation, trauma and displacement to evacuation. camps and catastrophic living conditions. in december, one of our family members, sabri al-fadra, was murdered in his home by an israeli air strike with his nine young children. his unfortunate wife survived. she was eight months pregnant. she was displaced to an evacuation camp where she

gave birth to her baby boy one month later in january. her child, her newborn infant died 20 days later from the cold and the harsh conditions in the camps. today now. are here for condolences, we're not here for apologies, we're here for immediate action, we have demonstrated that every minute signif. the loss of life, the starvation of a child, and so we need immediate and permanent, not temporary, permanent seizfire, now how designists come from across the world to palestine to occupy a land belonging to another nation, how do the... reform their secret army, hagana, how do they grab lands

belonging to palestinians? how did they build and expand their illegal settlements? israel's former prime minister goldomir answers these and more questions in this documentary. welcome back, us central command has confirmed wednesday's missile attack a commercial ship by the emmy army in the gulf of aden. sentcom said in a statement that three crew members were killed and four others wounded after barbados flagged vessel. true confidence was struck with anti-ship ballistic missiles. the amany army has already taken responsibility saying the attack was in response to the american and british. aggression against yemen, spokesman for the army, yahya sad, he said, the vessel

owned by the us was targeted after it ignored multiple warnings, however, the ship's operators say the vessel was not american, yemany forces first launched their operations against israeli or israeli bound ships in the red sea, in solidarity with palestinians in the gaza strip, recently they've intensified their attacks on british and us ships in retaliation. for uh the two countries aggression against yemen. joining us now we have um journalist and activist khalid barakot who's uh with us from vancouver to offer us more insight on this uh resident uh recent incident uh in the gulf of aiden. mr. baracott uh please give us your perspective on uh what has taken place us cent com. has said that a barbados flagged vessel by the name of true confidence was struck with

anti-ship ballistic missiles as we see the uh uh yemeni army continues to defy uh the uh united states and its allies in uh the red sea and the gulf of aiden region? yes, i think that united states, britain and their allies are failing miserably in term of the conference. ation that it's happening in the red sea, particularly because of the yemani situation and the yemani clear position: first of all, the people of yemen are constantly in the streets by millions across yemen, demanding the end of israeli genocide and war crimes against the palestinian people, giving a mandate to their armed forces to act and to... be in assistance of the palestinian people in order to stop these

war crimes. in fact, some of the legal experts in international law here in canada and the united states believe that the yemani position is the only position that is in harmony with international law because of what israel is doing. israel is committing genocide and is the responsibility of the people and of states and of international. community across the globe to stop this genocide and the people of yemen, the armed forces of yemen are acting accordingly. now the united states is in crisis also because their deterrance is vanishing, and the yemeni position is very clear and very committed to their goals, and at the same time they don't cause any threats to international navigation, the... germany position from day one has been that any ships that is trying to

reach to palestine will be targeted and so after the aggression, the united states and the britain aggression against the people of yemen, the yemen have all the right to defend itself against this aggression. the other thing is that if you're following for example the briefings that... happens in the pentagon or in the state department, they're really in crisis, they don't have any answers, they keep repeating the same talking points over and over about how their... going to minimize the threats that yemen possess on international navigation when in reality yemen did not pose any threat to any international ships in fact yemen provide security and and uh for them but uh with the exception of those who are either wage and

aggression against yemen or they're waging aggression against the palestinian people. "now yemen did not go to the gulf of new york, the united states is coming to babel mander with their military, and the there is a demand by the people of the region that they don't want to see any us, britain or western military in the region, this is not their region, they're there as colonizers and to impose their well on the people of the region, no foreign..." military presence should be in west of asia because this area basically is not united states is not canada, it's not the uk and so the us rhetoric also of blaming iran for example is not selling anymore, no one is buying this anymore from the united states and the uk and i think that

they are in crisis and yemen will be victorious. thanks a lot. sir khalid joining us from vancouver. moving on now, in the uk, government ministers are considering expanding the definition of extremism and banning members of parliament from engaging with protest groups, among them pro-palestine march organizers, human rights. campaigners say the move is insult to democracy side puto reports. the right to speak out, to protest, the very fabric of democratic rights. once again under attack in the uk as the government updates its definition of extremism and is about to introduce a potential ban on parliamentarians joining protests. recommendations from the government's advisor on political violence, john woodcock, also known as lord walney, was a former chair of labor friends of israel, call and leaders of the mainstream political

parties to instruct their mps to employ a zero tolerance approach to groups that use disruptive tactics. or failed to stop, quote, hate on marches. in the crosshares, climate activist groups, such as extension rebellion, and palestine solidarity campaign, who have organized the enormous peaceful mobilizations for gaza since october last year. this is affront to democracy and an indication of a weak and decaying government's descent into authoritarianism, it totally out of touch with the british people and actually very much out. keeping with the british values that they claim to champion. ahead of walney's recommendations and after the by-election in rotschdale, greater manchester, that handed pro-palestine campaigner george galloway a thumping victory, a speech by the prime minister vilifying the pro-palestinian protests demanding a ceasefire in gaza. in recent

weeks and months we have seen a shocking increase in extremist disruption and criminality. what started as protest. on our street has descended into intimidation, threats and planned acts of violence. critics say comments like those about peaceful demonstrations are a threat to the long tradition of freedom of protest and expression in the country. his assertions are totally false, i mean the claims of increase in anti-semitism of extremism, there is no evidence for that, i mean this is just pure invention and another indication frankly of how weak this government really is to... have a special um address to the nation as if there was some sort of state of emergency and some people that spoke to me thought that that we declared war on russia, what it was was uh george galloway, the leader of the workers party getting elected as member of parliament, i mean that should be celebrated, not not attacked in that way, it's just absolutely ridiculous. the new changes are yet to be announced and legislated, but the

political temperature is rapidly rising in the uk, and it's 2024. old report, human rights watch says that the uk government's practices and policies have severely curtailed domestic human rights protections. others say the country is at risk of turning into a police state, masquerating as democracy. the question now is, how deep will those erosions go, and will the mps in the building behind me allow them to continue? saiza, press tv, london. latest polls are showing that radical right parties are poised. secure the top position in several european countries at the next eu elections in june, many have lost faith in the european union and it's ability to work for the common good of all europeans a correspondent max sheley reports from according to the latest european council on foreign relations think tanks forecast for the 2024 european

parliament elections, there will be major shift to the right in many member states in the june vote. the forecast also indicates that populist radical right parties are likely to gain votes in seats across the european union, while central left and green parties will be losing votes. looking at the policies in favor of the multinational and of the united states that have been adopted so far by the eu leadership, policies that go against the very

interest of the europeans. some analysts argue that increasing number of eu citizens hold brussels accountable for soring food costs, economic stagnation and deteriorating living standards across the old continent. the european union has failed many ways to deliver its promises. europeans wealth has been gravely turnished by more than two decades of tough fiscal measures and wild privatization and outsourcing policies which have resulted in widespread company closures and massive layoffs. the uk us saxis has been dictating the line and practically all political parties across the eu from left to right have shifted ideal. and allegiances with the goal of remaining as close as possible to that line. the result is that the cu is anti-people entity. it wages lawfare

against its own people (eu citizens money) is used to fund wars and the purchase of weapons and not to support livelihoods. eu officials have recently unveiled plans to boost defense production by promoting joint military purchases of european produced arms among. the member states, from february 2022 to june 2023, eu states spent more than 100 billion euros on defense acquisitions with the us alone, accounting for more than 60%. in 2022, more than 95 million people in the european union or 22% of the population were at risk of poverty or social exclusion. max chively, press tv, rome. that's a wrap for now, but stick around, there's planning more to come here on press tv, see you in a bit.

almost one year has passed since the war between ukraine and russia. indeed intimally for the last eight years, when they're not trying to hit military targets, they focus on civilian targets. british filmmaker johnny miller goes to the

region to delve into the heart of the conflict between the two neighboring countries.

این افتخار داشتم که به عنوان اولین بانوی دریانورد جمهوری اسلامی ایران و خاورمیانه وارد سیستم دریانبردی بشم کسی هم کار نمی.

hey siri, call mark early.

i believe that working together we can make a street.

the depressed coverage of this assassination now entering its uh uh fourth day we're looking at some.

it is becoming more apparent that the israely regime is using food as a weapon in line with this genocidal and ethnic cleansing mission in the gaza strab. not only has it destroyed infrastructure needed for food production, it has prevented aid trucks from entering the gaza strap. meanwhile the us has airdropped around 38,00 food stuff. this is while there are over 2 million palestinians, many of them children who are going hungry, putting into question washington's real motives. in this edition of the spotlight we will look at how the israely regime.
