hello everyone, it's 1 am in the besieg gaza strip and you're watching press tv world news, the israeli regime has again hit the alshifa medical complex in gaza, killing and wounding number of palestinians, the gaza health ministry says now at least 31, 726 palestinians so far been killed since october the 7th. reports. the israeli exibation 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 in a swift attack against the compound uh amid the heavy gunfire and the continuous bombardments at least 40. the consecutive israeli air strikes
2:32 am
hit the compound the buildings, the yards and even the surrounding areas of the ashifa compound, knowing that thousands of the palestinian civilians are taking shilter in the hospital, in addition to the paramedics and the medical staff and the palestinian injuries who actually are located there receiving the needed medical care, the israeli accubitian attack actually left thouzends of the palestinian civil. killed and injuries in addition to the big fire that blazed in the surgery department uh in one building uh in a building inside the compound when it comes to the central area of gaza strip the situation is still catastrophic as well as the israeli 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 palestine. civilians, most of
2:33 am
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 kanyuni city, almasi area which is claimed by the israel incubation forces as save area, it was under a repetitive israeli attack, israely tattacks on. hospital in gaza have been drawing strong condemnations. iran's foreign ministry spokesperson says israel's repeated attacks on hospitals are blaming violation of international law and the most fundamental humanitarian principles. nazer canani said over the last six months israel's long list of crimes against palestinians including occupation, assassination, violence, and hostage taking have grown to include genocide. earlier, the palestinian resistance movement hamas also said that. on health centers will not give
2:34 am
israel any semblance of victory. outgoing palestinian prime minister muhammad shataya also slammed in international community for its inaction against israel. head of the world health organization described the attack as deeply concerning warning of the risks to health workers, patients and civilians. dozens of palestinians were killed and wounded and many abducted during latest raids by israely forces on al shifa, the largest hospital in gaza. earlier we spoke to tim anderson, director of the center for counterhejamonic studies out of sydney, australia, he argues what israel wants is to push palestinians in gaza into full evacuation. really, 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 shiifa, remember also this is a hospital that was devastated before, it's in the north in gaza
2:35 am
city, there are still civilians there even though conditions of light 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 of the area, so the assault on civilians is has always been a openly stated part of this genocide. very few genocides in the past have openly stated as clearly as the israelis have this one. the eu
2:36 am
foreign policy chief says israel's genocide in gaza has turned the territory into the world's biggest open air graveyard. the situation in gaza. gaza was before the world the greatest open air prison. 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. joseph buro, speaking ahead of a eu foreign ministerial meeting in brussels, he real israel is using famin as a weapon of war by not allowing a trucks into gaza, but else that issue is not a lack of sufficient supplies, but israel deliberately preventing them from entering the besieg strip. according to the world food program, 70% of remaining people in northern gaza are at catastrophic levels of hunger. we
2:37 am
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-back food security assessment report also indicates around half the gaza population is experiencing catastrophic hunger due to israel's onslot and siege, addressing alarming new reports about hunger in gaza, the un secretary general once again called
2:38 am
for immediate humanitarian ceasefire. the latest report on food insecurity. 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
2:39 am
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 unfettered 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. the as well resistance movement and israely forces have exchanged far along southern lebanese border again, earlier we were joined by mady am so
2:40 am
correspondent for the details. today we saw that there was a lot of calm during the day, the first part of the day, actually, even last night, but then just just a little bit before sunset uh we saw that there was an intensified shelling from the israeli part also had intensified its operations time some operations that would be two or three minutes apart or simultaneously on several posts and so we had the operations from the resistance launching their rocket fire on several posts including the lebanese occur farms post off and zin and that is on the lebanese part territory also had other against the israeli soldiers in head um hazbullah says it hit and scored its hits very precisely against those
2:41 am
soldiers using as they said propriate rocket fire, we also had operations from the resistance and rockets being fired towards and is really media was talking about really heavy fire from side towards the israel, the israelies as well of course have intensified their shelling. there were several areas like for example and jabal where there was very heavy shelling to the extent that it seems to be very become a usual routine for the israelies that they do what what they call as top um shelling where they shell the first place and perhaps wait until there are maybe ambulances or authorities to come near they launches an attack on the same exact location. cuba has some of the top us
2:42 am
diplomat to the island to protest washington's provoking unrest in the country. havana says us is seeking to turn local protests into a broader anti-government uprising. islammed as interventionist and slanderous. us embassy calls on the cuban government to respect human rights of protesters. washington has denied the allegation protest against. cuts and food shortages have broken out in a number of cuban cities, including the second largest, santiago. the cuban government says the protests were respectful, since 1960, the us has maintained economic embargo and other sanctions against cuba. russian president vladimir putin's war nato against deploying troops to ukraine. this shortly after he secures a landslide victory in russia's presidential race. he says the conflict. between russia and the military alliance will push the world to the verge of world war iii.
2:43 am
we discussed this with our guests earlier 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 confront. between russia and nato will push the world to the brink of a full scale world war 3. 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. them because they get killed in large numbers.
2:44 am
putin made the remarks in the pressure shortly after securing another six-year term in office in the biggest landslide victory in post soviet russian history. now 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 would allow ukraine to rearm, he added that russian armed forces holy advantage on the battlefield, as they have made advances in ukraine. i'd like to welcome my guest to this news review, jan oberk, peace researcher and founder from transnational out of sweden and christoph horsto, author and politician out of berlin, thank you both for being with us, well let me start it off with jen. i mean
2:45 am
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, that was a report in new york times, i think a week or so ago which said the cia has been in ukraine, last 10 years and the germans 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, according or is, according to its own uh perception of itself, defensive
2:46 am
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 gobajav, now we are there that the 11th party to this expansion, ukraine, and the 30 years nato has been around in ukraine and the kuditan 2014 orchestrated by the us is bringing us to a something like you know, it's not the same, but you know what i mean if i say... the cuban missile crisis, we must remember that russia will be 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
2:47 am
can back down, so and he has worn 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 that russia in the end may face in case of. for war, a situation where the only uh 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
2:48 am
we can only understand that, if we understand the deeply criminal mind within nato, aggressive as it is, they deep financial crisis 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 think both of you uh for being with me, jan oberg, uh, peace researcher and founder transnational live out

2:50 am
elsewhere. vitilizing democracy will also requires to shape a technological future. it's including. genocide of palestinians in gaza. since 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
2:51 am
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 in. said 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 away humanitarian aid amid reports of starvation. like here, around the world can be found supporters of a free palestine. testing against israel's genocide in gaza week after week and here at this summit titled democracy for future generations, a
2:52 am
glaring question clouds proceedings, what will happen to the next generation of palestinians? frank smith, press tv, soul. you're on is marking the 73rd anniversary of the nationalization of its oil industry, that was a turning... in the political and economic history of the iranian nation. fatima massumi has your details. 20th 1951, members of the iranian parliament passed the bill introduced by the country's democratically elected prime minister muhammad 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 in. employed 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
2:53 am
the iranians, the entire public realized that this move was not about economy, it was about independence. and go the the musaddiq movement was very popular within, and the entire world realized that it was about gaining independence from a colony. power that controld the economy and from, 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 musad'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
2:54 am
nationalize iranian oil. when that ultimately happened, the british imposed 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 nation's move proved to be of great importance in giving rise to the anti-olonialist tendencies all over the region and set a trend for other countries. fatih massumi, press tv, tehran. that's... for your latest here on press tv everyone, thanks for tuning in and goodbye for now.
2:55 am
in this week's show we'll be highlighting how zinous weaponization of antisemitism is beginning to... spectacularly back fire. in november last year, one prominent zinist zellit made a preposterous accusation of antisemitism about a student's mascot on the university challenge tv quiz show, but she was left with a copious quantity of egg on her face after legal action was taken by the student who was targeted. he came up to the rostrom and he turned around and said, um, can people stop hissing behind my back? we all looked at each other, and 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 shut the meeting down and somehow um this hissing that i couldn't hear was interpreted as anti-semitic give them pictures of octopus
2:56 am
like this lovely potanica octopus oscar here, yes um, and say actually this was used by the nazis and any any representation of the blue octopus must be antisemitic, except of course the ones which are not antisemitic. one palestinian journalist shirin abuagale was killed by nas v sniper on may 11, 2022, the israelis meant to get across a clear message that they don't want any narrative other than their own under decades old occupation of palestinian lands and their aggression. it wasn't the first time israeli sought to put gag on the alternative narrative, and every time it has failed. watch the history of the
