10:30 a.m. in iran's capital tehran, this is press tv news. thanks for joining us. the gaza strip is enduring relentless israeli air strikes and shelling as more palestinians have lost their lives in fresh attacks. the regime has targeted several areas near the southern city of hanunis. they include hamat town where five dead bodies were recovered from under the rubble. israely war planes also struck. some neighborhoods in gaza city and its vicinity. the regime shelled east of the barage refugee camp and targeted homes in the nusira camp in central gaza as well. that led to the killing of several palestinians. israel unleased as war in gaza early october, over 31,600 palestinians have been killed so far. the war rages on while gazans are observing the holy month of ramadan emits severe food shortages. the un agency for palestinian refugees onra says people on the coastal sliver are on the brink of famon.

doctors without borders also say that the current situation in gaza is catastrophic and indescribable. a senior leader of the palestina resistance moved hamas says the group is waiting for a response to sease spore proposal from israel and the us, the regime's main accomplice of the gaza genocide. osama hamdan said the initiative put forward by hamas is a realistic one with clear details. he said that it provides for a swap of captives in gaza and palestinian. abducties and the withdraw of israeli forces from gaza. hamdan said the palestinian movement had during negotiations called for an end to the war, the return of refugees, the dispatch of aid to gaza, and the start of the reconstruction of the strip. hamdan touched upon the divisions within the israeli regime on the war, and added that tel aviv has achieved none of its declared objectives despite the atrocities committed in gaza. he said that hamas has told intermediaries that acts of aggression against gaza must stop.

well as the us israel genocidal war grinds on, there has been a new proposal put forward by hamas, raising prospects for a ceasefire. now hamas has proposed new 40-day troops in gaza and an exchange for several dozen israeli hostages for palestinian prisoners. for the first stage, this is what is proposed for the exchange, as you can see the total. number of israeli captives would be 42. this includes five female regime forces and 37 others, women, children, the elderly and the l, it would not include male regime forces. now here's where the ratio is different than the previous proposal, for the five female regime forces, the ratio would be one to 30 to 50 palestinian prisoners. for the 37 others, the ratio would be one ordinary israeli captive to 20 to 30 palestinian prisoners. "there's a possible snack here,

and it comes from the israeli regime. it's opposing the release of palestinian prisoners who have killed israelis, especially israeli regime forces, something that was part of the hamas demand, and that is something that may be a snag. another hamas condition is the return of all palestinians to northern gaza, including 19-year-old ameles who were restricted from returning in the previous proposal from the israeli regime. now hamas has required for the israeli regime forces to of withdraw." from cities and populated areas, that includes al-rashed and salahdin streets, in order to allow for the return of the displaced palestinians. aid is as important for hamas officials, and they have required the 500 trucks to be allowed into the gaza strip, daily, in the first stage also. now comes the second stage, the release of the remaining israeli captives. there are 130 captives, including 32 presumed dead. the 42

released before leaves 88, which includes male regime forces, ratio is 1 to 30 to 50. habas requires at this point for the full withdraw. the remaining israeli regime forces from the gaza strip, one of the major sticking points. hamas's other key demands include things like reconstruction, the crossings being reopened and ending the siege all together. us, qatar and egypt are the garantours of the agreements. hopes are, if this is executed and there are no violations, it will ultimately end in a permanent cease fire. israel has launched a fresh operation against gaza's. largest hospital, the al shif hospital, which is sheltering tens of thousands of palestinians displaced by the regime's onslot. witnesses in gaza city say tanks surround the hospital site and nearby areas have been bombed. gaza's health ministry says it has received information that shows that there are dozens of casualties. the hamas resistance movement has

called the storming of alshifa hospital a war crime. the israely military has carried out multiple operations in and around medical facilities across the gaza strip since the start of his genocide on october 7. according to the un, 155 health facilities in the gaza strip have been damaged since then. the irish prime minister leo varatkar has called for a cease fire in gaza saying the palestinians need the israely bombs to stop. desperately need food, medicine and shelter. he also said irish people are deeply troubled about the catastrophe that is unfolding for their eyes in gaza. the premier also called. on the us to secure a true and to create space for lasting peace, he made the comments during a meeting with the us president of the white house. the european commission president ursula vanderlaon has also raised the alarm over the dire humanitarian situation in the gaza strip, calling for immediate cease fire in the territory. we are all extremely

concerned about the war in gaza and the unfolding catastrophic humanitarian. situation, gaza is facing famin, and we cannot accept this. it is critical to achieve an agreement a seasfire rapidly, now that freeze the hostages and allows more humanitarian aid to reach gaza. when also voice concern about israel's threat for a full-scale offensive in the south southern gaza city of raffa. she said that it would have a... devastating impact on the civilian population, she made the comments in a joint pressure with the egyptian president. also opposed any israeli ground operation and rafa that would further deteriorate the humanitarian crisis. he also underlined egypt's opposition to any israeli attempt to

forcibly displace palestinians from their homes. people in different countries across the globe continue to voice solidarity with the palestine. in gaza, in the netherlands capital, hundreds of pro- palestine demonstrators gathered outside of the national holocaust museum for the second time since last week. the demonstration came as: allegation from the israeli regime was visiting the national holocaust museum. protesters held pictures of the children killed in israeli bombings in gaza. they called for immediate end to the ongoing genocidal war in the besieg strip. in another european capital, london, people displayed their support for the palestinians during rally against racism. they called for

an end to the israeli occupation of palestine. also in italy, hundreds of protesters gathered in milan in support of palestinians. the demonstrators held signs reading stop the genocide in god. and stop arming israel, german city of berlin was also the scene of a massive rally, we are here to administrate for palestine, and i think it's not only about palestine here, it's also about showing our anger. towards uh the german media and the german politicians, because they have lot of power and they decided to take a side, and even they use sometimes some wars for human crisis or something like this, i can't believe it, i don't, i have the feeling that it's just empty wars. the protestors demanded immediate

cease fire in gaza, they carried blood stained small mock body bags, reference to the large number of children killed in gaza. in ber which has normalized ties with israel, protesters hailed the palestini resistance fighters and decried the us with israeli bloodlading in gaza. also in chile, south america, a massive rally was held in the capital santiago. with protesters denouncing israel for the killing of over 16,00 children in gaza. the appointments of new palestinian prime minister and the planned formation of new palestinian government have sparked internal disputes and divisions. a senior palestinian official has told press tv that some factions have called for national consensus and a unified palestinian leadership before the formation of a government. mon deal reports. the appointment of new palestinian prime minister at the current circumstances could deepen divisions

as the israeli war on gaza rages. this is what some palestinian factions revealed after president mahmoud abbas appointed muhammad mustafa, a long trusted advisor on economic affairs as prime minister and tasked him with forming new government, both hamasan resistance movements, the popular front for the liberation of palestine and the... national initiative said that without national consensus it's a reinforcement of a policy of exclusion and the deepening of division. we met dr. mustafauti, secretary general of the national initiative, he told us that the most important thing is now a unified leadership. we're not against the new government, we're against the way the government is being formed. we want national consensus government, a government which is... acceptable and accepted by all palestinian political groups through national

dialogue between the different groups and that that is natural because and and for us the main goal first before forming a government is how we structure a unified palestinian national leadership. mohammed mustafa replaces muhammad who resigned less than three weeks ago citing the need for real change. experts however say there had been mounted. pressure on abbas to reform the palestinian authority and initiate the establishment of a political framework capable of governing a future palestinian state to take charge of all palestinian territories after the israeli genocidal war on gaza ends. first of all that there was a pressure on palestinian authority to make some changes and that's why uh they complied immediately and appointing muhammad mustafa to as the new prime minister. this is. on the one hand, on the other hand, which is most importantly as well, what the palestinian

wanted, the palestinian don't want another government to be the same, the problem here is with israel, are they and the international community, are they able to really make the change and let this government to work or not? the new prime minister now would work to form a technocratic government of experts, abbas has also asked mustafa to create plans to reunite the administration of the westbank in gaza strip, reform the government and address internal corruption. a real political change, not a change in words only is what the people here desire. moreover, the upcoming government faces numerous challenges, namely rebuilding the gauza ship, turpedoing israeli plans to control the coastal enclave and managing palestinians lives. for press tv, occupied dramalah. the islamic resistance. in iraq says it has conducted fresh attacks against israeli positions in solidarity with palestinians in the gaza strip, in the latest

strikes, resistance fighters targeted an israeli air base on the occupied golen heights in syria with drones. group said the recent attacks show resistance fighters are pressing ahead with their operations against israely strongholds in the defense of palestinians in gaza. the group said the operations come response to the israeli genocide against palestinians in the coastal sliver. in recent months this islamic resistance in iraq has carried out series of attacks against israel's positions in the occupied territories and elsewhere. it has also attacked us military basis in iraq and neighboring syria, retaliation for washington's support for the israeli genocide in gaza.

welcome back to the news on press tv. the democratic people's republic of korea has launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles and met growing tensions in the korean. peninsula. south korea's joint chiefs of staff said it detected the launches early monday. it says the missiles flew around 300 km before coming down on the waters east of the korean peninsula. the new develop. comes as the us secretary of state is in south korea for talks. washington and saul wrapped up their latest joint war games last week. p. yang. considers such drills rehearsals for invasion. in russia, near final results of the presidential election show the incumbent vladimir putin is on course for another

six-year term in office. according to russia's central election commission, putin has garnered over 87%. to the vote with over 95% of the ballots counted, none of the three other candidates has reached even 5%. vote counting began minutes after polls closed on sunday across the country as well as in four ukrainian regions annexed by russia in 2022. for the first time the election took place for three days, starting from friday, election officials say the nationwide turnout was over 74%. this is the eighth presidential election in russia and the fifth term for putin if he is declared winner. but vladimir putin has issued a warning to the west over the ukraine war shortly after the early results of russia's presidential election showed that he would remain in power. putin says the presence of western troops in ukraine can put the world on the verge of world war ii. i think that anything is

possible in the modern world, but they have already said this and it is clear everyone. that this conflict between russia and nato will be just one step away from a full-scale world war ii. i don't think anybody is interested in this. nato military are present there in ukraine. there's nothing good in this firstly for them because they get killed in large numbers. also touched upon peace talks of ukraine. he expressed russia's readiness for talks a french proposal for a cease fire during this summer's. games, however, putin said that he will take into account russia's interest on the frontline of the war. the president added that russian armed forces hold the initiative on the battlefield as they have made advances in ukraine. on saturday, the french president said that his country will ask moscow to observe a cease fire in ukraine during the olympic games where russian athletes are banned to compete under their country's flag.

for the third year in a row, afghanistan has been declared. least happy country in the world, that's according to the un's world happiness report. rahmatban has more from kabul. the people of afghanistan are facing immense hardship and sorrow with the country finding itself at the bottom of the world happiness report rankings. the report which evaluates nations based on various factors such as freedom, health and income has named. everyone here agrees with the result of the world happiness survey, we are unhappiest and that is because of the ongoing poverty and employment and lack of freedom and opportunities. furthermore, girls cannot receive education, which further adds to the

misery of afghan families. when women are despaired, families feel unhappy. "i have been unemployed for almost three years, since then i have not had any income, my young daughters are missing their school, and this situation is so tough, how can we be happy? the afghan people have suffered decades of intervention and war, and they have not been happy, but experts say, under the rule of the taliban, their circumstances have worsened. the afghan people have suffered decades of intervention and war, and they have not been happy, but experts say under the rule of the..." more patients than ever. as psychologist, i witnessed the rise of mental health problems such as anxiety, stress and depression, they have even led to suicide. if you take help away from people, it will result in depressed and dead nation. hope is

everything for human beings. if it is or rodit, all progress. will be lost, the afghan people are resilient, but the absence of basic human necessities and rights can crush even the strongest well, the international community and the ruling taliban share a responsibility to bring some hope and light to the life of the crisis a stricken nation. decades of foreign interventions and war have made afgans, the poorest and the saddest people on the planet. this nation has long yearn for peace and happiness, but it remains to be seen when or whether they find your last dream. press tv, kabul. president joe biden and the former president donald trump continue to move toward a rematch in november after clinching their party's presidential nominations. both nominees have been exchanging jabs as campaigning intensifies.

to discuss that further, earlier we were joined by our guests in news review program. let's see what they had to say. you're watching uh press tv world news, time now for the news. review, stay tuned. the us president joe biden warning that freedom and democracy is under attack, and that after former president donald trump suggested a blood bath in the case of losing the fall election. biden was speaking at the great iron club dinner, which was pack with journalists and politicians. he said trump's lies about a 2020 election, the plot to overturn it and to imprace the january 6 attack on the capital have posed the greatest threat to america's democracy. president joe biden's campaign also stated that trump wants another january 6 to happen. on saturday republican nominee for us president donald trump said if he does not win the fall

election, america will never have another election. if i get elected, now if i don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath for the whole. that's going to be the least of it. it's going to be a blood bath for the country. that'll be the least of it. if this election, if this election. isn't one, i'm not sure that you'll ever have another election in this country, does that make sense? i don't think you're going to have another election in this country, if we don't win this election, i don't think you're going to have another election, or certainly not an election that's meaningful, and we better get out, we better, trump was addressing gathering of gop supporters in ohio, urging the people to vote for him in the november presidential election, he lashed out of his democratic rival and encom president biden saying that he is destroyed. america's economy, he said americans will not enjoy proper social security, medical and other welfare services with biden in office. campaigning is intensified in recent weeks

with trump and biden attacking each other's record and character. okay, now let me invite a couple of academics from the us to get their insight in this. so joining me is daniel shaw, he is academic and commentator out of new york and sahit khan is also. associate professor with wayne state university joining us from detroit. daniel, what do you expect uh would happen on the election day in terms of the results? would that capital hill thing be repeated again or something like it? right now every poll indicates that uh there's no confidence in joe biden uh about 84% of the populist thinks that he is indeed uh senile. um, lot of people don't necessarily trust trump, they're just so disgusting. uh with the democrats uh with the corruption, so another slogan that i heard uh from about where said is, i'm in new york city, but having just returned from the

midwest, many people are saying, well, throw away this clown, but don't throw away the burgers, in other words, throw away trump, but trump's base uh, which is indeed backward, extremely anti-immigrant, extremely uh pro war in in many cases, um, but the... angry and they know that they can't trust the swamp and they can't trust washington dc, so how do we work with uh these workers who are uh disgruntled, they've suffered through the opioid epidemic, washington has completely forgotten about them and how much of the industry in cleveland and in um flint in detroit, chicago has been abandoned how many working class families are suffering and they'll never vote for the democrat. they have zero um faith in the democrat so here comes uh trump with his rhetoric and trump has really been able to manipulate people into thinking that he's somehow on their

side, he's a billionaire worth $4 billion dollars who could never relate to the common man and in in any way, and just to point out that there are other independent candidates, there's dr. connel west, there's claudia dela cruz, there's jill stein, but the system is rigged, it's not a democracy, it's a dictator the dictatorship of the rich and the... show that none of those third party candidates are actually viable. okay, so we got one minute, let me know what you uh predict would come out of this election in six months time almost from now? uh, i think it's right now far too uh early to and premature to predict what's going to happen. there's a there's a lot of moving parts here. uh, there is some uh notion that uh democrats uh who are currently disgruntled with biden uh, as as daniel said, uh don't have much faith in him, may come back uh to him uh because they see trump as an existential threat, the gop is an existential threat, whereas biden being and

the democrats being more of a strategic. uh, some of this is going to play out regarding gaza, i think a lot of it is now going to play out regarding tiktok, if uh, if biden signs a bill that then bans tiktok, uh, he's going to lose an entire generation of people as was said before, and that's game over for the democrats, so right now it's really going to be vote by negativity, uh, who does somebody want to see less in office, and again, there's just simply too much time between now and november for things. happen uh where we're not able to predict that? okay, fair enough. all right, thank you so much for the uh insight, daniel shaw in new york, said khan in detroit. thank you for watching this episode of the news review, and that does it for world news, this bye-bye for now.
