fire in tel aviv where they'd rushed for security assessments israel's julian prime minister and defense minister put on a rare show of unity government. a cell of hezbollah terrorists crossed into israel in an attempt to harm israeli soldiers i.d.f. soldiers and officers acted professionally and accurately and prevented a severe incident that could have cost human lives. israel's prime minister made an explicit reference to the war of 2006 in warning hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah that israel's armed forces stood ready to respond further because bullet solution of darts hizbollah mr understand it is playing with fire it made a big mistake when it's assessed israel's nation to defend itself and lebanon paid a price any attack against us will be met with great force i urge him not to repeat this mistake and we do not live unknown. israel has been on heightened alert cincinnati strike last week in syria attributed to israel killed a hezbollah fighter there has been has vowed to avenge any such deaths in southern

lebanon the aftermath of the israeli artillery barrage hezbollah denied having carried out any operation saying israelis fired into lebanon out of confusion and panic and if statement was read out on the hezbollah affiliated elman our t.v. then. it was all one sided and it was by an enemy that is afraid terrified and worried our response to the martyrdom of our brother ali kamil most and who died in the zionist attack in the damascus airport region is definitely coming and there's scientists should be whiting for the punishment of their crimes last year a similar set of circumstances led to a hezbollah attack on an israeli military post and a limited israeli response it was over within hours both sides seemingly keen to avoid an escalation that motivation has only intensified since with a surging pandemic in israel and an economic crisis in lebanon but for now at least hezbollah is saying that this round isn't over are

a force that al-jazeera wester islam was in a has been that lebanon's border with israel she says the situation seems to have calmed down some now. the lebanese armed group hezbollah has denied that it carried out any operation it is saying the incident was one sided and it is blaming what it calls an israeli an anxious israeli army so a very different narrative from what the israeli army is reporting they are saying that a group of hezbollah fighters tried to infiltrate the shebaa farms is very hard for us to independently confirm what happened but a lebanese security sources tell us at the time that some incidents some kind of incident happened whether it was an attack or an attempt to infiltrate the recognizance mission that source could not confirm now cautious calm prevails along the border israeli planes continue to fly over lebanese airspace you can hear israeli drones in the skies the tensions have deescalated but definitely

the tense atmosphere along this border is likely to continue over the past few days there were fears of the possibility of a hezbollah retaliation retaliation for the killing of one of its fighters in what was believed to be an israeli air strike in syria and that's why israel really beefed up its forces along the border and took extra security measures now some analysts say that this is part of hezbollah's psychological warfare to keep this israeli army on its toes but many will say that you know both sides have no intention really or do not want an all out conflict because both sides really have a lot of domestic problems hezbollah knows that if it if it sparks an all out war with israel it will cause a domestic domestic backlash it will be blamed for dragging lebanon into war at a time that the politicians have really run the economy into the into the ground and and hezbollah and along with its allies now hold political power they control

the government they control the parliament so right now it's that it's not in their interest really to see an all out confrontation but there is no doubt this border remains volatile especially since israel evolves to continue to keep up the pressure on iran and groups that iran backs like hezbollah particularly in neighboring syria. 2 iraqi protesters have been killed in renewed anti-government protests security forces fired tear gas and live ammunition to disperse crowds in baghdad that's after the funerals of the 2 were killed in demonstrations late on sunday in the 1st protest as a died since the new prime minister moustapha al-hadi me took power in may he says his government shouldn't be held responsible for mistakes made by previous leaders . they said. it's not just ask a 2 month old government to pay the corruption and looting the left by the previous administration. youth protests yes they are legitimate right security forces don't have the permission to far

the end of the year we will achieve a victory over the virus by unleashing america's scientific genius which is what it is i'm therefore proud to announce that this morning the moderna vaccine has officially entered phase 3 already and that's phase 3 clinical trials the final stage before approval is never been anything like this in terms of speed nothing even close a 2nd vaccine is likely to enter phase 3 in a matter of days under operation warp speed we've shaved years off of the time that it takes to develop a vaccine in some cases many years. castro joins us live now from maryland heidi so president trump that touting his operation warp speed to produce millions of code 9000 vaccines by the end of the what more is he been saying. right that is the goal here and really this is the biggest and final stage trial

that we've seen across the globe as you were saying 30000 volunteers and all will be given 2 shots and these are shots of l a by the u.s. government in partnership with a private company mcgurn and those volunteers will be testing whether of course this is effective against preventing the infection of covert and whether or not these vaccines are safe and right on the heels of this are at least 2 other vaccine candidates that will be approaching the same milestone in months if not just weeks so certainly that is the last hurdle before government approval and we heard from the vice president mike pence who is saying that even though the government has not approved of a vaccine yet the manufacturing process the distribution network those are all red also simultaneously being worked on so that if one of these vaccine candidates or perhaps more than one does receive final approval it will rapidly according to the

thinking of a government will be rapidly deployable to many americans right to hide your caster there in maryland heidi thank you now the world health organization is warning that imposing bans on international travel due to cope with 19 is unsustainable and that government should be doing more to reduce the spread of the virus within their own borders mike ryan is encouraging wider measures not just travel restrictions. i was advised that travel measures should be used in conjunction with with other measures to by themselves travel trouble measures are not effective in dealing with in dealing with the movement of disease in the same way that hand washing alone or mask wearing alone or any of the public health interventions alone is not is not effective it is going to be almost impossible for for individual countries to keep their border shut for the foreseeable future economies have to open 0 people have
