"the israeli

occubition forces conducted a blades offensive against the ashifa medical complex over the last night where hundreds of the israeli tanks and the israeli forces moved uh in a swift attack against the compound uh amid the heavy gunfire and the continuous bombardments at least 40 consecutive israeli air strikes hit the compound the buildings the yards and even the surrounding areas of..." the shifa compound knowing that thousands of the palestinian civilians are taking shelter in the hospital in addition to the paramedics and the medical staff and the palestinian injuries who actually outlocated there receiving the needed medical care uh the israeli accubition attack actually left thouzens of the palestinian civilians killed and injuries in addition to the big fire that blazed in the surgery department uh in one build. a building inside the compound when it

comes to the central area of gaza strip, the situation is still catastrophic as well as the israel incubation forces maintain the their strikes and incursions against the central area, particularly anosarati fuji camp, whereas over the last night the israeli world planes destroyed another residental building claiming the lives of nine palestinian civilians, most of them were children and women, these air strikes are continued and even over the last the last couple of... hours the israel artillery maintained its shelling towards the eastern part of deril balah city and when it comes to khanuni city alma area which is claimed by the israelicubation forces as save area it was under a repetitive israeli attack. the israeli regime's recent attack on al-shifah hospital in gaza has drawn widespread condemnation. officials and organizations have expressed extreme concern about. impact

on the sick and wounded as well as medical staff, palestinian resistance movement hamas of has called the attack a new crime committed by the criminal science occupation army, that will not make netanyahu, and it's not the army, any image of victory. in another reaction, outgoing palestinian prime minister mohammed shataya has blamed the international community for its failure in condemning israel and ignoring crimes against humanity being committed in gaza. the head of who tedros gabriesos also labeled the attacks as deeply concerning warning that the fighting has endangered health workers, patients and civilians. al shah, the largest hospital in gaza, came under at least 40 attacks on sunday, killing or wounding dozens of palestinians. we've spoken to tim anderson, the director of the center for

counter-hegemonic studies in sydney, he argues that israel wants to push the palestinians in gaza into full evacuation. "hamas is just the tip of the palestinian resistance iceberg and that's not going to go away anytime soon basically, but when you're talking about el shifa, remember also this is a hospital that was devastated before, it's in the north in gaza city, there are still civilians there even though conditions of life have been very difficult in the areas, all of the residential areas been devastated around there, there also is resistance there, the resistance is back in areas where the israelis thought they got rid of them, so the civilians are there and..." really um, of course, this idea that they're actually going after hamas is only part of the story, anyway, let's remember that they have said many times to us, and this is what the south africans have carried to the international court of justice, they want to destroy the conditions of life to make it unbearable, they want to destroy the people or drive them

out, and of course this new port that the us is involved in is widely suspected now of being a way to try and evacuate and take palestinians out of gaza to help with the ethnic cleansing. the area so the assault on civilians is has always been a openly stated uh part of this genocide. very few genocides in the past have openly stated as clearly as as the israelis have this one. the eu foreign policy chief says israel's genocide in gaza has turned the territory into the world's biggest open air graveyard. the situation is... gaza: gaza was before the world, the greatest open air prison to, today is the greatest open air graveyard, a graveyard for tens of thousand of people, and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law. bura was

speaking ahead of an eu foreign ministerial meeting in brussels, he reiterated that israel is using famin as a weapon. of war by not allowing aid trucks into gaza, or else that the issue is not a lack of sufficient supplies for gazas, it's rather israel deliberately preventing them from entering the basieg strip. according to the world food program, 70% of the remaining people ina are at catastrophic levels of hunger. we need sufficient amounts of food to get... into northern gaza and to be able to be distributed to the people who are in need over there. mind you, there are 300 thousand people in that location right now, of which 70%, meaning 21000 people are in catastrophic

level of hunger. the remaining 30%, they are emergency levels of hunger. a un backed food security assessment report also indicates that around half of the population of gaza is experiencing catastrophic hunger due to the israeli onslot, addressing the alarming new reports about hunger in gaza, the un secretary general called for immediate humanitarian ceasefire. the latest report on food security in gaza is an appalling indictment of conditions on the ground for civilians. the world's leading experts on food insecurity clearly document that femine in the northern part of gaza is imminent.

more than half of all palestinians in gaza, 1.1 million people have completely exhausted their food supplies and are facing catastrophic hunger, according to the report. palestinians in gaza are enduring orifying levels of hunger and suffering. this is the highest number of people facing catastrophic anger ever recorded by the integrated food security classification system anywhere, anytime. this is an entirely man-made disaster. and the report makes clear that it can be halted. today's report is exhibit a for the need for immediate humanitarian sease fire. i call on the israeli authorities to ensure complete and unfetted access for

humanitarian goods throughout gaza and for the international community to fully support our humanitarian efforts. we must act now to. prevent the unthinkable, the unacceptable and the unjustifiable. iran has dismiss as legally. baseless, the findings of the united nations fact finding mission on the 2022 riots in the country, speaking a meeting of the un human rights council in geneva, the head of iran's high council for human rights, said the so-called fact finding mission has a claring lack of independence and impartiality. kazem khabadi said the mission was a result of lobbying by some western countries, and the relevant report was drafted under the pressure of the same country. cabidi also slammed the united nations for politicizing human rights. the un

fact finding mission was established two months after violent protests erupted in iran over the death of young iranian woman. it's recently released report accuses the islamic republic of human rights violations in its handling of foreign-backed rioting. well, iran is marking the 70th. third anniversary the nationalization of its oil industry, that was a turning point in the political and economic history of the iranian nation to save the national treasure from foreigners. fatima massumi brings us the details. 20th, 1951, members of the iranian parliament passed the bill introduced by the country's democratically elected prime minister, mohammad musaddiq to nationalize iran's oil industry, the groundbreaking initiative. put an end to britain's four- decade dominion over iran's oil industry. the britain-owned

anglo-iranian oil company enjoyed a monopolistic control over the industry and paid only meger portion of the revenues to the iranian government. nationalization was call for independence. if you go back then the iranians, the entire public realized that this move was not about economy, it was about independence. and here go the the uh saddiq movement was very popular within, the entire world realized that it was about uh gaining independence from a colonial power that controlled the economy and from, i mean based on the economy, control the political spectrum within iran. when the then government of musaddiq put the nationalizing of iran's oil its agenda in april 1951, acts of sabotage and conspiracy against the country were enhanced. the american british coup in august. 1953 against musadd's government was part of the plot, basically

the british were plundering iranian natural resources and oil was at the top of the list, iranians began to protest and there was a growing social movement in the country to nationalized iranian oil. when that ultimately happened, the british impos sanctions on the country, similar to what happened after the revolution in iran. after the victory of the islamic revolution, iran achieved significant milestones in the petroleum industry. these include the discovery of numerous oil and gas fields, an expansion and extractable oil and condensate reserves, a rise in oil production and extractable gas and the discovery of new oil and gas fields. iran was the first country in the west asia to reclaim its oil industry. the iranian nations move proved to be of great importance in giving rise to the anti-olonialist tendencies all over the... and set a trend for other countries. press tv, tehran. in south korea, the third summit

for democracy has begun. the us secretary of state and south korean president spoke of efforts to ensure democracy for future generations. nearby, however, pro-palestine protesters slam the us and israel for the ongoing genocide in gaza. frank smith reports from the south korean capital of saul. south korea this week hosts the third us initiative the summit for democracy. u.s. secretary of state anthony blincan suggested america could lead the world toward democratic ideals lacking elsewhere. vitilizing democracy will also requires to shape a technological future that's inclusive, that's rights respecting, directed at driving progress in people's lives. as authoritarian and repressive regimes deploy technologies to undermine democracy and human rights, "we need to ensure that technology sustains and supports

democratic values and norms. coralled away from the venue, activists were joined by a south korean law maker to question washington's and soul's credibility, particularly in light of us support of israel's ongoing genocide of palestinians in gaza. since un sul came into power, our democracy index has fallen by 19 points and we're turning into a..." very backward country in terms of democracy, the united states, the enabler of the massacre, israel, the perpetrator of the massacre and south korea are causing the endless decline of democracy. activists. say the us and south korea have the blood of tens of thousands of innocents on their hands, through the provision of weapons to israel and failure to pressure tel aviv to end its genocide. it's not the time for the south korean government or the us government who are complicit in israel's genocide to discuss democracy. instead, the korean government should urge the us and israel to immediately stop the

genocide, lift the blockade of the gaza strip and end israel's colonial military occupation of palestine. while rift has appeared in us support of israel, concern is mounting that the israeli military will increase attacks on the already besaged rafa where palestinians await humanitarian aid amid reports of starvation. like here, around the world can be found supporters of a free palestine protesting against israel's genocide in gaza week after week, and here at this summit titled democracy for future generations. a glaring question clouds proceedings, what will happen to the next generation of palestinians? frank smith, press tv. soul. russian president, vladimir putin has warned nato against deploying troops to ukraine. this shortly after he secured a landslide victory in russia's presidential elections.

he says a conflict between russia and the military alliance will push the world to the verge of... full scale world war ii. we've discussed this issue in our news review program. the russian president has issued a stern warning to the west over sending military troops in support of ukraine. vladimir putin says a direct confrontation between russia and nato will push the world to the brink of. i think that anything is possible in the modern world, but i've 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. putin made the remarks in a pressure shortly after securing another six-year term in office in the biggest landslide victory in post soviet russian history. and the warning came in response to earlier statement by french president emmanuel macron who highlighted the necessity of western ground operations in ukraine at some point, commenting on the prospects of peace talks with kiev. putin said moscow remains open to negotiations, but won't be lured into truth that will... allow ukraine to rearm, he added that russian armed forces holy advantage on the battlefield, as they have made advances in ukraine. well, like to welcome my guest to this news review, jan oberg, peace researcher and founder from transnational out of sweden, and christoph

horsel, author and politician out of berlin. thank you both for being. with us, we'll let me start it off with jen, i mean jen, your thoughts on, do you really think, i mean we heard what uh uh the french, well what macron had said, do you really think that europe would actually consider putting troops on the ground in ukraine? well, there was a report in new york times, i think a week or so ago, which said that cia has been in ukraine the last 10 years and the... happened to reveal that the british were there to help with using british artillery, so uh, yes, it doesn't mean thousands of troops in uniform ready to to battle russian forces, but the question i ask myself at this moment, which is the most dangerous in europe since 1945,

is how on earth did we get here? nato was, accordingly is... according to its own perception of itself, defensive alliance that has promised us since 1949 to make peace in europe, and now it's a major actor thanks to the expansion of nato, which is in contravention to all the promises given given to michael gobajava, now we are there that the 11th party to this expansion, ukraine, and the 30 years nato has been around in ukraine and the kud. 2014 orchestrated by the us is bringing us to something like, it's not the same, but i mean if i say the cuban missile crisis, we must remember that russia will be... the neighbor to or part of if things go madly wrong in europe, whereas the united states is far away from that. well, christoph, your taken looking on the russian

side, i mean, basically, it's a matter of uh, russia's own survival, um, and it does not seem that vladimir putin will back down or can back down, so and he has warn of possible world war ii if nato. does not back down, your thoughts on this, your overall assessment. president putin of russia is very much justified to rethreaten nato with nuclear war. the reason is very simple: nato's combined conventional force is so much stronger than russia's, that russia in the end may face, in case of a war, a situation where the only ' way to preserve some kind of russian independence will be triggering nuclear war by using nuke arms first, that is

very, very dangerous situation, and nato is crazy to push it so far that this happens and we can only understand that if we understand the deeply criminal mind within nato, aggressive as it is, they deep financial cris. which washington faces, they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, and the only way to save that is to control the vast natural resources of big russia, so this is why they want to bring russia down, they are not anti russian, they are not anti- anything, they are not anti iran, they just want to control the natural resources because they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, that is the real situation, and that is putin's fight. that he wants to preserve sovereignty and freedom of his people in the face of this money driven western aggressiveness. all right, and on that note, i thank both of you

uh for being with me, jan oberg uh, peace researcher and founder transnational live out of sweden and christopher horstell author and politician out of berlin, and thank you viewers so much for staying with us a news. you and thank you so much for staying with us right here at press tv. in this week's show we'll be highlighting how zinous weaponization of anti-semitism is beginning to spectacularly backfire. in november last year, one prominent zinist zellat made a preposterous accusation of antisemitism about a students mascot on the university of chinage tv quiz show, but she was left with a c quantity of egg on her face after legal action was taken by the student who was targeted. he came up to rostrom and he turned around and said, um, can people stop hissing behind my back? we all looked at each other,

what's a point? no one's hissing, certainly we couldn't hear any hissing from where we were sitting, and then the the uh chair of the meeting shut the meeting down and somehow um this hissing that i couldn't hear was interpreted as anti-semitic, give them pictures of octopus like this lovely hanic. octopus oscar here, yes, um, and say actually, this was used by the nats, any any representation of a blue octopus must be antisemitic, except of course the ones which are not antisemitic.

for us humans, air is the most important natural element along with water, food, light and warmth. air pollution can have short-term and long term effects on human health. one type of energy that plays a key role in human life is electrical energy or electricity. honestly, if fossil fuels are used properly, i think most polluted cities would become pollution free. this is

sarayavo, a country that shares borders with serbia and croatia and has survived years of genocide. this country has managed to keep islam alive by itself in europe. mjesec ramazan aktivira ovdašnjeg čovjeka na poseban način. ovdašnji čovjek. od od davnih vremena u mjesecu ramazanu uči vrlo intenzivno kuran. commemorating ramadan and holding ceremonies to mark has had an important impact on preserving the religious and cultural identity of bosniak muslims over the years.
