8:30 pm capital tehran. this is press tv news. thanks for joining us. more than five months into the israely genocidal war on the gaza strip, the regime's bombing campaign keeps taking innocent lives in the besieg palestinian territory. according to the gaza health ministry, at least 82 more palestinians have been killed and 122 wounded in israeli attacks. friday, number of the victims remain under the rubble of the bombed out buildings or left unattended in the streets, as israely forces prevent amergency relief workers from reaching them. the left from the on gaza that began on october the 7th is now approaching 31,00. over 72,500 have also been wounded, while thousands more remain unaccounted for. 72% of the victims are women and children. now let's take a listen to comments by some palestinian
8:32 pm
parents and medics who've explained how malnutrition is affecting children in gaza. there is no proper food for the mothers, especially in the recent period, as we noticed that since december until today, there are no babies with normal weights, most of of them are from 2 kilograms to 2 and a half. we stopped seeing babies weighing 3 kilograms as in the recent period. the last four months since october until today, there is no nutrition for. due to circumstances we're going through in gaza, you can see for yourself where we live in a school inside a 3 meter tent right in front of toilets, what are you expecting from a sick child living in such conditions, how can he get better? yes an alcafna who passed away was displaced from the north and he originally had had issues
8:33 pm
with his muscles, but his health was acceptable, he used to receive proper treatment and healthy food, but with the lack of food after the war began, he got worse. hamas has released the names of four of the israeli captives killed in the regime israeli strike on march 1 in the gaza strip. the group had earlier said that seven captives were killed in the bombardment and had revealed the identity of three of them. it said the number of captives killed by the regime might now exceed. 70, this comes as ceasefire talks have so far failed to yield any results. on friday, spokesman for the alkasson brigades abubeda said the main priority for resistance groups in a potential prisoner swap deal with israel is a complete end to the aggression on the gaza strap. he also described israel as an occupying regime devoid of humanitarian values, adding that nazi- like massacres are being perpetrated in gaza. un agency for palestinian refugees says
8:34 pm
israel tortured and forced members of his staff to falsely confess links to the palestinian resistance group hamas. the onrobot report detailed interviews from staffs who were deliberately targeted and abducted, said that they were subject to various types of tortures including sexual violence, humiliation, waterboarding and threats of harm to family members. the un agency said these individuals were then forced to sign false confessions, stating that some staff took part in the allox of flood operation. honor said it will... present the report to relevant un agencies for further investigation. israel allegges that 12% of rw's 1300 staff are members of hamas and palestinian islamic jihad. in january, the regime accused 12 staffers of the group of involvements in the october 7 operation. this allegation led to many countries cutting off much needed fund to the un agency. well ship carrying humanitarian aid is expected to depart cyprus for gaza this weekend as part of a maritime corridor announced by the eu. the spanish vessel open
8:35 pm
arms is scheduled to head for an undisclosed location off the coast of gaza. it will reportedly tow a barge loaded with 200 tons of food. the eu commission president talked about the opening of the sea. corridor during her last or during her visit to cypriot port on friday. president joe biden also on thursday announced the us plan to build a floating dock off the gaza shore. however, it's unclear if there is a link between the weekend shipments and the us plan. the expected delivery comes in warnings that aid trucks must be allowed to enter gaza in order to genuinely alleviate the humanitarian crisis there. the un has stressed that land transport is the main artery of delivering supplies. the secretary general of the palestinian national. initiative says that the plan to build a port off gaza is aimed at diverting attention from the real issues that gazans are grappling with. the gaza bound ship belongs to the spanish aid group open arms whose founder has talked about the aid ship into the ship strip through sea route
8:36 pm
from cyprus. let's now listen to the founder oscar camps. over the last mile will be the most complicated operation, the disembarcation will be done a peer that is being built right now by the ward central kitchen. this mission is a collision between the ward central kitchen and open arms. they provide the technical part and they provide the food and reception. we are not concerned at all about security, we're concerned about the security and lives of the people who are in gaza, we have neither food nor medicine to treat chronic patologies or their woonded central kitchen. in this week's show we'll be exposing the activities of an israeli lobby group operating in spain calling itself action and communication on the middle east, which is usually referred to by its initials acom. there was a poll done by yugab at the
8:37 pm
end of 2023 with found that essentially spain was the the most pro palestinian country in western europe um in terms of public opinion. so this... a country where you pay a relatively low political price for speaking out for palestine? in spain of course there is an islamophobic party, the vox party, i just refer to a minute ago as a rump party and and uh this acom group is very quite close to to vox, that's an indication really the kind of uh tradition of islamophobia which flows through this. welcome back to the news here on press tv. protests have been held in several countries across the globe in support of palestinians in the gaza strip. in the italian city of rom, thousands of protesters took part in national demonstration in solidarity with palestinians. they waved palestinian flags and demanded a ceasefire in gaza. they called on the un and other international
8:38 pm
organizations to stop israeli crimes. in a similar protest, tens of thousands of people in the uk capital, london, marched towards the us embassy. they demanded immediate delivery of human. militarian aid to gaza amid the dire situation there, the protesters said that western countries should stop their military and financial support for the televive regime. they also call for immediate end to the u.s. israely genocide. stop the genocide, stop arming israel, stop killing children and babies. this cannot continue, we must stop it, we need peace, end the bloodshed, no more, we need to boycot this regime, it's unacceptable, no right-minded human being can accept this to carry any
8:39 pm
longer. a similar demonstration was also held in the indonesian capital jakarta in front of the us embassy. protesters condemned the continued israeli blockade and bombardment of palestinians in gaza. they were angry with the us support for israel and demanded opening of aid routes into gaza. in yemen's sana civil servants took part in military parade and voiced their support for palestinians. they reaffirmed their commitment to palestine and said that they will never abandon the palestinian cause. the parade today comes after. precise military training period to express the triumph of rights and principles against injustice and tyranny. the palestinian people are going through something against human nature and what life should be like, in relation to preserving human rights and owning the land to its people. we came here to witness the
8:40 pm
readiness and alertness against tyrany, against the arrogance of the us, uk and israelis and in support of our brothers in gaza and palestine, we came here to see the graduates of the training course al-aqsa flots. this is the official rush and general mobilization against god's enemies to send message to them that... whatever they do, we will be there for them and ready in support of our brothers in gaza and palestine. a london correspondent side pura says protesters want the uk government to stop sending israely weapons and to cancel its arms deals with the regime. london has hosted the biggest pro palestine demonstrations in the entire europe, continental europe. um since the beginning of the massacer in gaza in october last year, and they continue to
8:41 pm
only grow louder in terms of their calls uh for the governments here to take action, decisive action, to uh stop arming the israeli regime, to cancel uh weapons, licenses to israel that are yet to happen, as of late um the comments, the uh speech rather by the prime minister rishi sunak uh warning about uh the protesters um that islamists in his word uh posing a threat to uh quote and quote british values and things like that that have not gone down well with the protesters here, attempt by the government's um advisor on political violence, a man named lord walney who used to chair the labor friends of israel. uh, this name of course is self-explanatory, and who has allegedly received money from israeli intelligence as
8:42 pm
lately as january, uh, making 40 recommendations to the government here uh to one um prevent members of parliament in the mainstream political parties from fraternizing with the different pro-palestine groups, for instance, the palestine solidarity campaign that has organized all of these national demonstrations uh for. the past five months or so, and also a redefinition or if you like, an expansion of the definition of political, sorry, of of extremism, all um, we understand, as analysts say, aimed at clamping down on voices that are coming out in support of the palestinians and against the israeli regime that has been committing such atrocities against the captive. south koreans joined people from
8:43 pm
various countries around the world to condemn israel, following the massacer of more than 100 palestinians sought to collect food assistance in gaza. frank smith has more from the south korean capital soul. palestine gathered outside south korea's central mosk to demand a change in policy toward israel following news of another massacre of innocent civilians in wartorn gaza. the unconditional support of israel should stop and that we need to start refunding unarwa and letting aid trucks um come into haza. palestinians are now starving as the us continues sending. israel ammunition despite the protests of many americans, it's really
8:44 pm
immoral to be sending weapons to a state or country that is killing people uh in cold blood and is committing a genocide. not enough aid is reaching gaza with deliveries chaotic and even deadly. opening the rather crossing and allowing relief supplies into gaza is simply the bare minimum the egyptian government can do. south korea expressed only deep concern, even though informations going all over the world showing that countless women and children have being massacred in the gaza strip and palestine, they remain silent, and we also condemn the silence of these governments. many suggest both israeli and us leaders share responsibility as the bloodshed in gaza ever mounts. south korea is alliance with the united states and its reliance on on oil states, saudi arabia, and the uae impact souls policies. south korea
8:45 pm
and israel have engaged in millions of dollars of arms trade. soul also abstained from a un vote condemning israel over its gaza genocide, seeking some kind of middle ground. this one of dozens of protests here since israel's genocide began, focused on the desperate need to get aid to palestinians sheltering in rafa and to open the... egyptian border. in austria, pro-palestinian protesters up the demonstration during an international women's day event in the capital vienna. aimed to raise the public awareness of the applied of the woman in gaza. our corresponent has interviewed some the demonstrators. let's see what they have to say. so today we uh we gathered and we were present at the vienna rathouse municipality on an open event on the occasion of international women's day. we wanted to protest uh the hypocrisy of the celebration.
8:46 pm
we wanted to remind everyone that women's right is from 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 since the uh five months every single day uh uh 63 women are being murdered uh so far 9,000 women are um are killed by the israeli occupation forces uh there are 60,000 women pregnant currently at at risk of dying. for lack of uh lack of food, for lack of uh of healthcare, so we wanted to synthesize everybody about that. 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 that our sisters in palestine are suffering and they haven't only been suffering these last five
8:47 pm
months, but also the past 75 years, we have heard the most gruesome. reports about women having to undergo cesarians without an anesthesia, 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. they talked about different types of feminism, the women on stage talked about white feminism, however no word was said about the sensitive situation of women outside the austrian border. there was no discussion at all about women in gaza, there was no word about women, daughters and girls murdered by the iof in gaza. we wanted to
8:48 pm
give the women who are being silenced a voice at this event. it was regrettable that we were heard it toget. and forced out, all this while the people of gaza have no food, pictures of starving children are shown every day and not a word is said about them here today, in france and around the world, women and men took to the streets to celebrate international women's day, gender equality is defined differently in different countries, but most agree that all societies must improve their empowerments of women, ramin mazori has more from 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 i 16th at his luxurious palace and brought him to justice
8:49 pm
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 more likely to work in the government and to use social services. in france, one woman is killed every three days by their partner or ex-partner. our government must take more measures to protect the safety of our women. we also need policies which abolish the male female pay gap, and which better protect women from rape. israel's attempted genocide of gaza has had a disastrous effect on women, from the starvation of 60,00 pregnant women
8:50 pm
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 10,000 women, genocide israel's genocide in gaza is issue for all feminists and for all humanistts. anyone who thinks that we are at the wrong march are obviously just zinanis imperialist, and they also obviously do not understand what it means to support women with equality, respect and justice. globally, 60% of poor people are women, they are. 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. il faut appuyer tous les progrès. 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
8:51 pm
sexual violence, and he 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. ramin mazeri press tv, paris. transport ministry spokesman has strongly condemned a recent report by un fact finding mission on the human rights situation in the islamic republic. naser khanani deplored the mechanism of the so-called un mission saying the repeated allegations in his report were based on incorrect and biased information and that it lacked any legal credibility. kanani added that the report showed the mission worked at the behest of his german, british, american and zianis sponsors. he said by playing with the un human rights mechanism, the mission only only served the interests of
8:52 pm
those regimes. he advised initiators of the mission to deal with their own rights violations, instead of interfering in iran's internal affairs. the iranian spokesman also asked the west to pay attention to the rights abuse of palestinians in gaza, where tens of thousands of people, mostly women and children, have been massacred by israel over the past 5 months. irani border guards have confronted a terrorist team trying to infiltrate the country through the eastern borders of the country. the commander of irans police's border force said that his troops clash with the terrorists and dealt big blows to them in nehban county in iran's southern qorasan province. he said number of the terrorists got injured and fled to neighboring afghanistan. the commander said that huge amount of explosives and ammunition as well as some communication and reconnaissance devices were confiscated. iran's southeastern regions have seen several terrorist attacks by pakistan-based terrorists in recent years, but such attacks
8:53 pm
from afghanistan have been rare. and that is for this edition of world news. thank you so much for being with us. let's bye-bye for now. crisis devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy. palestinian people facing genocide: make sure to join the show through facebook, twitter,

8:56 pm
it is covid-19 a state-wide order for people to stay at home, that's what comes from china really deeply that if people are sharing more then the world will be more open place where people can understand what's going on with the people around them and that's really what we want to get towards. did you appear on the on the um and give a presentation to the launch of leave.eu? yes i did. the rivers of mesopotamia are going through their most critical times. with the deaths of
