a night of israeli bombardment and rocket fire from gaza israeli tanks remain close to the border on tuesday israel had warned of a broader response that in recent escalations that threat was very much on show despite relative calm and talk from hamas of a cease fire the increased tension caused israel's prime minister to return home early from his u.s. trip a speech he'd planned to give to the influential a packed jewish lobby conference in washington was instead delivered by video link . we are prepared to do a lot more we will do what is necessary to defend our people and to defend our state. the israeli air force struck targets throughout the besieged strip on monday night including multi-story buildings in the heart of gaza city. and the first rockets which was a warning was fired then the second and third were fired to the north and east of

the building five minutes later the whole building was hit and we didn't know where to go. among the destroyed buildings the office of hamas is political leader ismail haniya and insurance headquarters that israel said housed hamas military intelligence and a building belonging to its internal security all that following a rocket launched from gaza that struck a family home north of tel aviv early on monday seven people were injured. earlier this month hamas said two rockets that landed in tel aviv were fired accidentally is investigating this latest launch i think we have. that tickets today i add to this to the areas or to the homes i think to today to this military targets and there but maybe sometimes they could not do that because then they have no technical part of technical. tool to do that. the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has condemned what he called the israeli

escalation the p.l.o. leadership accuse the israeli prime minister of trying to use the situation to his benefit before next month's general election. benjamin netanyahu has been criticized by opponents from the right and left of israeli politics over his gaza policy his main rival in the election the former army chief benny gantz accused him of failing to contain and deter hamas of sufficiently strong military action netanyahu options of fraud most analysts agree he doesn't want an unpredictable war on the eve of an election but at the same time he's under pressure to project military strength israel's domestic politics adding to the volatile mix on its border with gaza are a force that al-jazeera southern israel. well let's stay with this al jazeera stephanie decker has more now from west jerusalem this is the kind of pressure that benjamin netanyahu did not want he had to race back to israel ofter what he really wanted to play as a golden egg for his election campaign the u.s.

president recognizing israeli sovereignty over the occupied golan heights at the moment a shaky cease fire is in place but there's all the criticism here of the prime minister that he hasn't done enough he hasn't played a tough enough hand on gaza and on how massed we are to wait two weeks away from a hotly contested israeli election three of the men in the party that are giving him the closest run for his money are x. chiefs of staff but again netanyahu is a very savvy political operator he's also facing a lot of pressure about corruption cases cases that he will be indicted for in the future so he's facing what many people will tell you the strongest challenge to his role as premier in a decade but again he's a savvy political operator he's played this well and says everything seems to be under control. the u.n. secretary general has called for a deescalation and tensions in gaza meanwhile some u.s. allies have also been voicing our position at the u.n.

see president trump's declaration that the occupied golan heights are israeli territory he made the announcement steering netanyahu his visit to washington despite the an exception in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven breaching international law our diplomats james babies more. the security council is watching the fast moving events on the ground but seems no closer to taking any action despite a grim briefing from the top u.n. official normally based in jerusalem a new conflict will be devastating for the palestinian people it will have consequences for israelis who live in the vicinity of the gaza perimeter and it is likely to have regional repercussions as he spoke inside the security council his boss was answering reporters' questions outside the chamber and can we have your comments on the current bombardment in gaza and can you tell us whether you believe

that the recognition by president trump of the golan heights as israeli will hinder peace efforts we were clear in the condemnation of the rocket attack but now we believe it's absolutely necessary to avoid any scaling up and to have restraint and i would appeal is forty strain on the other hand i think the two seeing disconnected but our position in relation to the golan heights is very clear it comes clearly established by the resolutions of the security council and on that issue some of the u.s. is closest allies of the five e.u. members of the council terry read out a joint statement making it clear they disagreed with the president trumps action any declare ration of for unilateral border change. goes against the foundation of the do rules based international order and the un charter comments like that have earned a rebuke in washington from the u.s.

secretary of state case we're simply recognizing facts on the ground and the reality and doing the right thing we hope those nations will join us to understand how important it is how right it is ever since president trump took office the security council hasn't passed any resolutions or made any statements on this issue they've been ceding the main diplomatic role to the administration and in particular to the president's son in law jared cushion or however increasingly ambassadors are becoming uneasy in the security council meeting the french ambassador said the silence of this council on this issue is becoming deafening james outers era at the united nations. still to come on al-jazeera. i want to say that i'm ph d. on the border between colombe and venezuela where the united nations opened the first formal camp for venezuelans fleeing the worsening social and economic crisis

as yours prime minister is threatening further action against gaza amid the biggest israeli palestinian escalation in months the reports of sirens in southern israel and a rocket lands in there as well as fresh israeli air strikes on the southern gaza strip. and the u.n. secretary general is calling for a deescalation of tensions in gaza until a new good terrace is urging restraint for all parties involved his comments follow briefings to the security council on the situation in gaza. but the charity save the children says seven people including four children have been killed in an airstrike on a hospital it supports in yemen the charity says a missile struck a gas station near the entrance of the q tough hospital just outside the city of souther in the northwest of the country so the arabia and the u.a.e. you are leading a coalition fighting rebel who see forces in

a war which began four years ago this week among the brides and is the yemen policy lead for save the children she says the civil war has amassed a disturbingly high number of casualties that are children. so it's been actually devastating for children and they're bearing the brunt of the conflict itself there some of the most vulnerable populations and they're experiencing violations every day to the right we're hearing of children that have being killed and maimed by air strikes and shelling but then also there's the reverberating effects and the last couple of weeks there has been. a resurgent color and suspected cholera cases where thousands of children each week being suspected to have cholera and save the children has estimated that over eighty five thousand children may have died since the conflict if still later than two thousand and fifteen is something that's just really devastating for our teams to see on the ground and the stories that we're

hearing from children is that they just want a peaceful yemen security places to be able to play and learn and go to school so really for us it's just a clear message to the parties to the conflict and to national community that there must be a political solution to the conflict not only investigating these incidences but parties need to be implementing the stockholm agreement the cease fire and genuinely engaging in good faith in finding a solution to this conflict as soon as possible the british m.p.'s are preparing to votes on a range of alternative brakes at options on wednesday after parliament voted to take control of the process of the u.k. leaving the european union or a challenge reports. persons ministers are in a hurry these days often with little time for questions but said you know what. we compromised then peace they had to emergency downing street meetings cabinet

meetings parliamentary sessions but whether taking the country still isn't clear despite the haste britain's government is paralyzed big ben's newly restored clockface was revealed this week a reminder as if m.p.'s needed one that time is ticking on wednesday they'll hold so-called indicative votes and attempt to choose an alternative to to reason may's withdrawal agreement the divorce deal with the e.u. that parliament has rejected twice but will she listens to them it's the prime sways being clear that it's negotiation between ourselves. and the parliament expressed a view it may be entirely on deliverable thank you so what's our parliaments brecht's it options that the prime minister may or may not agree to m.p.'s have voted against no deal already but it's still the default if they can't agree on anything else by a pull the twelfth nearly six million people have signed a petition urging them to revoke article fifty staying in the customs union

wouldn't please iraq skeptics they want complete trade independence the softest of albrecht's it's would keep the u.k. in the customs union and the common market but it couldn't help make the rules any more a canada style deal really would cut ties but trade deals take years to negotiate and the irish border would still be a problem a second referendum could reappear if m.p.'s want to put whatever they choose to the people with staying in the e.u. as the alternative and then there's the deal that won't die most m.p.'s hate it in the commons speaker doesn't want it back but the reason may could try again anyway some of the deals fiercest critics are softening the bricks a tear m.p. jacob riis mugs suggests he might support it if the alternative is staying in the e.u. . becomes the choice eventual whether with yet is another matter but i've always thought that no deal is better than mrs may's deal with mrs may's

deal is better than not leaving at all still as there are many politicians including those from northern ireland's democratic unionist party who remain opposed to the prime minister doesn't yet have the numbers on wednesday she will meet with conservative party backbenchers and there is speculation that this most dog of leaders will tell them when she will resign perhaps that's the price of getting her deal over the line helen's al-jazeera london australia's prime minister says he is very concerned after an al-jazeera investigation revealed the links between the us gun lobby and industry in political party officials from the n.r.a. were filmed by our investigative unit advising the straightly as one nation party and how to influence public opinion after a mass shooting andrew thomas reports. this is denise is just. one case in for nothing worse than the one nation has been caught trying to

trade australia what started as an al-jazeera undercover investigation into the united states is national rifle association is now dominating australian news and the top of politics there we have reports that one nation officials by sickly sought to sell australia's gun laws to the highest bidders to a foreign buyer. and i found that a part of one nation is a far right anti immigration party that's growing in influence in australia its officials caught trying to get donations from the us gun lobby is big news that's because first for donations to political parties were recently made illegal in australia with one nation foremost among those calling for that ban and second because most australians are proud of their strict gun laws and a concern that any political party suggesting they could be watered down or changed

that is particularly true right now in the aftermath of the horrific mosque attacks in neighboring new zealand earlier this month on chu state the one nation officials caught on camera trying to turn the tables pointing at the undercover reporter of al jazeera and never ever ever suspected him or wildest dreams that this guy was employed by middle eastern country while just your own as an australian story to you in a kind of politics this is skullduggery at its worst this is the very first time a strada has witnessed political interference from a foreign government but the al-jazeera program make it rejects that the evidence is on the video the video is quite clear one nation says the al-jazeera documentary will seriously and unfairly damage their election prospects in the meantime it's dominating australia's airwaves and online and to thomas al-jazeera sydney where you can watch the full program from al-jazeera is investigative units how to

fearing they would have convince more people to leave but with more and more families arriving from venezuela and ending up on the streets local authorities decided something needed to be done hundreds of people of families are now still living in the streets on my couch due to the lack of alternatives and lack of shelter solutions. the local authorities to. unity are too to intervene. exhaustion is palpable among the arrivals but no one is giving up seventy four year old that they knew was an engineer for venezuela's state oil company after losing its pension for protesting against the government he's selling chocolates on the streets to support his wife back home. you know maybe. i came without knowing what i was going to achieve but i've always been strong and i'm going to persevered
