8:40 am
everyone, you're watching press tv world news. no, rage is brewing around the world over the ongoing israel. tidal war against palestinians, the wave of anger is also rippled across a muslim community in south korea where anti-israel rallies have been held to condemn tel aviv's brutalities. we're now joined by. correspondent frank smith who's standing by with an update on the story, hello there frank, hope you're safe and doing well, what can you tell us with respect to this protest, you're at there in the south korean capital, well i'm out here in one, it's the foreigner sort of entertainment district of south korea, this demonstration started at the soul central mosque as muslims around the world are you know demonstrating in their office. to the true genocide that's taking place now uh in
8:41 am
gaza with the recent massacer happening in rafa as people accued to receive humanitarian aid, this news is getting around the world and bringing people out in the street like here today in south korea, a country that really doesn't look too strongly at what's going on in the middle east, and yet people are recognizing that... yes, south korea does have some involvement with countries in the in the middle east, including rather you, now contentious relationship with israel, as it enjoys 4 billion dollars in trade with israel as well as, arms trade of of tens of millions of dollars, and this information slowly over over time is is getting out there, as countries are asked to place more pressure uh on the united states and of course. israel to drastically change its behavior, change their behavior, and frank, since the gaza war broke
8:42 am
out on october 7th, has the government in soul taken a stance and said anything to either effectt in support of palestinians in condemnation of israel or said anything at all with respect to this onslot we've seen on gaza, well generally here the government is trying to to take sort of a middle course uh because again... its trade with israel and its alliance relationship with the united states, also it relies, at the same time its energy security towards saudi arabia and and the uae, so the government has been slow, both to content to condemn israel and hesitant to condemn israel because of those relationships again with saudi arabia and the uae, at the same time when it came to the un vote in the united nations. abstain, it didn't vote no, as the majority of or as just
8:43 am
few countries did in terms of condemming um israel's genocide in gaza, and it didn't vote, you know uh, in favor of the resolution, like the majority of countries um at the united nations general assembly, that was, i believe back in december, things have, gotten even worse now as more and more people and observers around the world are recognizing. that really it is a genocide taking place there and calling again for their governments and other governments with relationships especially with the united states to to put more pressure on washington to put more pressure on on tel aviv again to to reverse course and perhaps institute again a ceasefire, get humanitarian aid in there and and turn things drastically around. now it's interesting, people wouldn't think to they was... that far um east in uh south
8:44 am
korea, but it's also apparently not the first, there have been a few pro- palestinian rallies the insole, haven't there uh frank? yes, there have been many, this is, you know, like dozens and dozens every week they're coming out, there's a very devoted core of people, and there are a lot of, you know, there are a lot of muslim people coming out, i interviewed young pal and saudi arabia that came out to demonstrate, there are a lot of south koreans coming out of of all ages and and so it's it's not just kind of scene here among this core group, especially as as a middle eastern thing, they recognize that they are part of the international community, especially through their relationship and alliance with the united states and with those relationships and participation in the in the international community. here, at least, especially this core of people we see out here today are recognizing their
8:45 am
responsibility to step forward and and speak truth to power here. all right, but stay safe. thank you for that update, press tv's frank smith, the joining us from south korean capital soul. in austria, pro-palestinan protesters have held the demonstration during international women's day uh in the capital vienna. they am to raise the public awareness the plight. of women in gaza, our correspondents interviewed some of the demonstrators, so today we uh, we gathered and we were present at... the vienna right house municipality on an open event on the occasion of international women's day, we wanted to protest uh the hypocrisy of the celebration, we wanted to remind everyone that women's right is for everyone, we wanted to give uh to uh raise awareness about the situation of palestinian women in gaza who are suffering the worst condition ever uh
8:46 am
since the uh five months every single day uh 63 women are being murdered uh so far 9,000 women are um are killed by the israeli occupation forces uh there are uh 60,000 women pregnant currently at at risk of dying for lack of uh of health care so we wanted to synthesize everybody about that when we talk about women's right it's about women's right everywhere it's about women's right of everyone and we wanted to urge people to stop violence against palestinian women, so today is the global day for women, it should be a day for celebration, it should be a day and an opportunity for us to rejoice, but we cannot celebrate this day knowing the haven't only been suffering these last five months, but also the past 75 years, we have heard the most gruesome reports about women having to
8:47 am
undergo cesarians without an anesthesia, we've heard of newborn children. prematurely born children, which were forced to be left in their incubators and they were found decomposing later on. we know that women no longer are nourished enough or have enough food to actually feed, breastfeed their own children, so we have very high mortality of young children under the age of two. it's just a despicable situation and it's absolutely intolerable and we refuse as women to only focus on let's say white women feminism. "it is important to improve our rights here in the west, but we really have to stand up for those people in other countries who are suffering and to are struggling to survive, and that is our obligation if we want to stand together as women worldwide. in france and around the world, women and men took to the streets to celebrate international women's day. gender
8:48 am
equalities defined differently in different countries, but most agree that all societies must improve the empowerment of women. ramy mozary has your story out of paris. on the international day for women's rights, demonstrations and pro- feminism strikes were held around france by women and the men who support their fight for equality. in october 1789, the women's march on versailles apprehended king louis 16th at his luxurious palace and brought him to justice in paris. but much work remains to be done in republican france. only 37% of french parliament is female, two-thirds of france's working poor are women, in large part because women compose 80% of france's part-time workers. a return to far right economic austerity after the covid lockdowns hurt women more than any other minority. women are
8:49 am
more likely to work in the government and to use social services, so cuts to government. days by their partner or ex-partner. our in france, one woman is killed every three government must take more measures to protect the safety of our women. we also need policies which abolish the male female payg and which better protect women from rape. israel's attempted genocide of gaza has had a disastrous effect on women from the starvation of 60,000 pregnant women to the forced displacement. of 1 million females, to the inhuman and degrading treatment of women by israeli forces, according to the united nations, to the murder of nearly 10,00 women. genocide, israel's genocide in gaza is issue for all feminists and for all humanists, anyone who thinks that we are at the wrong marge are obviously just zinanis imperialists, and they also obviously do not
8:50 am
understand what it means to support women with equality, respect and justice. globally, 60% of poor people are women. they are paid 23% less than a man, even when doing the same work, and they spend two and a half more hours doing domestic chors than men. we have made some progress pushing women's rights to the forefront, but we must demand many other advancements. we must also not forget about the rights of girls, many of whom suffer from sexual violence. who must be better protected and better represented by our government. in france and much of the west, women suffer from widespread objectification and the commodification of their bodies. france allows the use of naked women in public advertising, which many say undermines its regular claim to be feminist model which other nations must emulate. ryan mazaherry,
