a drone hit the top of my home 15 or 10 minutes later the barracks near us were hit after they were done bombing the barracks the israeli army told me to go back home . they kill and there was no want to make the amount of for it the whole world is watching it doesn't matter if they kill a child or a woman there is no want to hold them accountable for it the a 4 it doesn't matter if they kill a child. going to break into that just a few seconds ago after we left those live pictures this happened. a huge strike there in gaza hamas and palestinian armed groups have been firing hundreds of rockets into southern israel 2 women were killed in the city of ashkelon israel's prime minister has vowed to step up israeli air attacks and the whole bit so much and. we are in the midst of a campaign since yesterday the i.d.f.

has been striking hamas and islamic jihad in gaza we eliminated commanders we heard a lot of the quality targets the conclusion of the meeting is to increase even more the force of the strikes and also the right of the strikes hamas will now receive blows that it did not expect all right let's bring in our correspondent who's in gaza. suff what is the stuff what just a few moments ago we saw these dramatic pictures of what was an explosion it looks like a a building has been targeted and has been partially at least destroyed you were telling us earlier that the israeli military had warned some people to leave their homes in gaza. while we are talking now are not the same building which is the residential tower which is one of the highest buildings and the gaza strip it's 14 floors. the building according to the

news we are receiving the building is now totally destroyed tens of families now been found without homes in the seats either those who live in the building that was completely destroyed according to what we heard or of people who are living next to the building and their homes could be partially damaged this is the most dangerous and the most serious collisions so far. is carrying out a written while ago or so the military wing of hamas will not brigades they warned from carrying out or for attacking that is in buildings otherwise the response will be in tel aviv meaning the another big. television according to what they said it would be even stronger than the one that. so far the minister of health confirms that $28.00 palestinians killed including 2 women and 10 children. said.

to me assassinated the 3 of 'd us today in gaza on the streets of gaza are totally empty almost as a kid feel which is unusual and this time of the year because of the end of ramadan and the preparations for the feast which is supposed to be. on the after bus we couldn't see we could see that most of the streets are empty and evacuated from people who prefer to stay home because these are cutting out sites almost everywhere all over the gaza strip there are no. 'd rules for those strikes nobody knows when is the next star to you and who is the next. target for the israeli army on the other hand. groups also that have been firing their rockets towards southern . women should be the biggest so far the biggest. hits that was

fired from gaza law. and expectation according to late this is the escalation by hitting this building we are expecting more. 'd and more 'd escalation from the policy which means that there are expected to live . we learned egypt right from the beginning it would be so called the situation to reach a cease fire but all the egyptian attempts failed so far the coming out of very important to decide the way. and we're going to run those pictures again just moments ago. this is what happened to that building you tell us it's not a tower to the west of gaza says he which the israeli ministry had told. people living there to leave why. would israel be targeting

residential building in particular. it's still early to investigate why who was living inside that i. mentioned. told the media why they are targeting such a building they hit one of the apartments in gaza city killing 33 people afterward that the people who do it are like that there were always let me go out said that the 3 people were killed what islamic jihad in the end the doing morning they hit one of the buildings in shock if you. but the victim was. nothing to do with but a few groups so we need. to come out with. the statement to explain why they are targeting such a huge building would look of civilians out of pins of families not to leave this

building and stay industry until they find a solution where it's a state or at some point for the moment many thanks they don't is there a software. live in gaza let's go to israel now to syria sorry force that is there of course harry while israel is targeting buildings and areas within gaza hamas and palestinian groups firing hundreds of rockets into southern israel where are you harry what's happening. well yes we're about 5 kilometers north of the fences separates gaza from israel and as you say yes there have been hundreds of rockets the israeli military is saying more than 600 rockets since the beginning of this escalation saying that 480 or so those actually made it into israeli territory in that some 200 have been intercepted and so it is an extremely large escalation there is no getting around that this is the

most number of rockets fired from gaza into wards israeli territory since the 2014 war and as such what was just describing so well the amount of israeli air strikes going into gaza is exceptional as well the israelis are saying that they have been targeting a number of things and a number of people they've been targeting they say in the last afternoon the capability of the hamas. fighters to launch rockets from northern garza that has been what they say has been the focus of their operation but also they have all of struck that apartment building earlier killing those 3 palestinian islamic jihad fighters they've also said that they've killed the head of the anti-tank missile unit for hamas is doing the kasam brigades what we are still waiting for as high as suff what we're saying is an explanation as to why they have

struck this particular building and we're also waiting for the likely response coming towards tel aviv be israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu did indicate that this was the direction that things were heading earlier in the day saying that the pace and the intensity of israel's military operation would intensify in the coming hours that certainly seems to be the case you mentioned that those threats against. cities like tel aviv a spokesman for the al qassam brigades had said that. attacks missile strikes that exceed what happened in ashkelon will be heading at tel aviv's way how concerned the people there in southern israel are pretty used to what to this but this is the that this sort of thing with the air raid sirens going off and having to run to the shelters but this is the heaviest bombardment that they've experienced in a long time. indeed i mean in recent years we have seen

escalations lasting a few days and hundreds of rockets being used and as you say yes that there is. a certain familiarity with the. mode of life for for certain periods but this looks a lot more dangerous and is already deadly we've seen 2 women killed in ashkelon it was an extremely large barrage of rockets earlier in the afternoon hamas was saying 137 rockets were fired in the course of 5 minutes there is some analysis on the israeli side as to whether that is what overwhelms the iron dome system and allowed some of those rockets to get through and actually strike homes and buildings the hamas is saying that it has been using a new type of weapon the missile which flies in a more horizontal trajectory and is therefore more difficult for the iron dome to detect and shoot down we wait to see if there is any confirmation or any response

to that from the israeli side but nonetheless there is a lot more of the ordinance from the gaza side getting through so far in this 1st full day of this escalation so yes it is causing obvious fear and concern and worry and it is leading to promises of greater retaliatory response where i mean it's difficult to talk about retaliation because each step requires and elicits a retaliate each side but certainly the israeli prime minister israeli defense minister they're both talking about an extensive and long lasting or at least lasting a few days at the very least in terms of the israeli military action on gaza are a force there live for us in southern israel for the moment many thanks. well international efforts are underway to diffuse the crisis in israel and gaza the un is calling for restraint on all sides the arab league has held an emergency meeting

jordan's foreign minister has told the virtual session that israel's aggression of its violation of international law will only fuel the conflict and push it to explosion. foreign minister who chaired the session says the israeli bombing of gaza is a condemned and unacceptable criminal attack and the arab league's secretary general ahmed aboul gates has asked the u.n. security council to act over what he called the blatant israeli violation of international resolutions supporters of palestine a rallying outside the british prime minister's official residence in london the palestine solidarity campaign has organized a demonstration opposite 10 downing street they want the u.k. government to stop israel from forcibly evicted palestinians from the homes and shake shot in occupied east jerusalem al-jazeera steve bach is at the rally just outside downing street so what's the mood then eve.

was pretty heated already way more people than we expected probably just over a 1000 people arrive to see you know the start time about 15 minutes ago and you're right it's outside downing street and many people here feel the british government needs to do more to hold israel accountable to the recent actions that have played out and israel and palestine over the past few days i think would be wrong to assume that all the anger the rage the sense of burning injustice is concentrated in that part of the world because it isn't it spills over here to london and other cities in europe as well the british government hasn't been silent on the issue together with from germany spain and italy the governments of all collectively israel to rewind settlement building in east jerusalem and also to deal. escalate violence against palestinian civilians in jerusalem as well the mood here is. really quite an energetic one people up on the main stage

behind me to say that there are many palestinians here or at least people from the palestinian diaspora here there are also other people here as well a group from the israelis for palestine group are actually going to be speaking a little bit later as well many people here feel that the british government given that they are going to be chairing the g 7 when the world leaders from the 7 industrialized nations gathered in june that the british government has a key role to play. in putting the pressure on israel people feel that this isn't simply a case of clashes between one group and another this is about the occupied versus own people why is al-jazeera steve talk of them live for us in downing street neve but he thinks the escalation between israel and the palestinians comes at a time of political limbo in israel last week prime minister benjamin netanyahu

lost his mandate to missing a deadline to form a coalition the president has chosen guy peed netanyahu strongest rival to form a new government the country's gone through 4 inconclusive elections in 2 years no one bashar assad a serious political analyst he says that netanyahu is behind much of the violence if you would ask the question why now i would say to me oh of course. that's the reason why now there is escalation in jerusalem and even worse escalation with the palestinians in gaza needing to death destruction and mayhem because clearly as we all know by now the largely discredited israeli prime minister admit that you know is desperate because he could not form a government the israelis have conducted 3 elections within 2 years and that any are still unable to maintain power and if he doesn't meant power there is

a good chance that he goes to jail why because again as most people know he's under he's on trial on corruption charges of fraud and other and other and other charges and clearly like his predecessor it would all of our evening he might as well just go to prison if he doesn't maintain power so in so many ways the israeli prime minister was able to. organize and unite and enter into alliance with the most logical fanatic israelis the so-called zionist party in israel. that is behind much of the instigation of violence and mayhem in jerusalem those very fanatic radicals that are lined with prime minister netanyahu will continue to escalate the situation i love watching netanyahu to pick up the

pieces as have mouse in gaza has jumped on the ok zhen for its own reasons to escalate the situation on jerusalem and now what can we have is the possibility i'm not saying eventuality but the possibility that prime minister netanyahu will further that escalate this thing you know even going beyond. the call of duty if you will in order to maintain power. now to the rest of the day's news at least 9 people most of them students have been killed in a school shooting in the southwestern russian city of cazan local media is reporting that one suspect a 19 year old has been arrested and her sentence reports. shock and disbelief outside a school inside a lone teenager had run no more shooting indiscriminately the reality had shattered

a normal teaching day in the building known simply as school 175 and surprisingly there was panic some of the students had run for cover teachers had slammed doors shot. at least 2 students had jumped out of windows others were able to wait until emergency teams rescued them the security forces heavily armed and in large numbers arrived quickly and arrested the suspected killer he's reported to be 19 years old and a registered gun owner it's unclear what motive he had for the attack some eyewitnesses say it wasn't only gunshots that they heard i think. it was one explosion or maybe 2 it was strong bang we jumped up and thought it was a truck and we heard a lot and ran out. it isn't clear whether the noise was action being taken by the

security forces all the attacker but there was day breed both inside and outside the building scenes of school shootings may be almost commonplace in the united states in russia they're rare and shortly after the attack came a statement from the kremlin president vladimir putin had appointed the head of the national guard to immediately look at imposing new stricter controls over the types of weapons in use by civilians how and why such an attack happened in a school that didn't even have any security is being investigated and drew simmons al-jazeera secure we're back to work ours are just a few moments ago we saw the destruction of that building in gaza city after the israeli military had warned residents to leave this was the moment that at least 2 explosions brought down the building after serious stuff what i'll call newt is in gaza he's with us once again what's the latest software.

the latest is that the building is now completely destroying which means that the extended bank of targets the bank of targets have been gradually increasing starting from hitting civilians from hitting militants or maybe look at lunch out of the un now it seems that the decision. that aid is made that decision. and in cadiz the bank of targets now by hitting the danger. is that it shall buildings. is eventually how it is one of the highest buildings in the gaza strip were tens of families are living there the families they have on the neighborhood also living next to the building to leave their homes and now 1 they're found themselves out in the seeds. unclear why. this building if there

will be a we are expecting actually in gaza that they expect issues that there will be more similar targets like the top end. of the world of 2014 when they ended the war by destroying what is it. similar to 100 to building one. so far the ministry of health say that $28.00 palestinians killed including 2 women 10 children and more than $150.00 palestinians injured from the own go into israeli attacks all over the gaza strip 'd. just a quick look on the seas there are completely empty streets. on life. like unusual at this time of the of the year because of the end of ramadan. tomorrow or 'd the day after the feast of the fall of the month on. now there is another as i you know had a strike. people at this time prepare themselves by the

need for the feast that comes undone. which we understood that all the figure of the future was. being counseled including labor the prayer of the feast. egypt stopped in from the beginning to make. both sides to the situation to reach a cease fire but so far we learned that 'd old attempts failed the military wing of hamas brigade they warned days that ages from hitting that is eventually buildings otherwise the next target would be to live eve and they said the next target would be the biggest the barrage that they would fire would be bigger than the one that they fired 'd into our. lives today we still can hear the explosions the palestinian fighting groups are still fighting the delegates and now we can hear

the. system. being fired from gaza 'd. we are expecting a tough. on from both sides the israelis with the. bank of targets on target more similar. buildings like kind of the one on the palestinian fighting groups are also expected to. reach even tel aviv. and. you can hear the banker just as you were speaking that huge explosion behind you for the moment many thanks. live in gaza. india has seen a slight dip in the number of daily coronavirus cases but experts warn that the number could be being on the reported store shortage of but of course supplies at a new strain of the disease is causing concern globally party but reports.

early as this month china's population is growing at its slowest pace since the 1950 s. thanks to falling births at a rapidly aging population the results of a once in a decade census also revealed that the population grew by more than 5 percent to 1410000000 people but as katrina year reports from beijing experts predict that that number will begin to decline within the next 5 years. one surely it is $44.00 and looks forward to retiring at the age of 50 but she may need to wait a little longer the chinese government is set to raise the age of retirement by at least 5 years just one of the policy changes expected in response to the country's rapidly aging society. i couldn't accept a my retirement have been delayed much longer i was very concerned why i heard this news according to the results of a once in

a decade census china's population is growing and growing at its slowest pace in decades since 2010 expanded by 5.38 percent to 1410000000 people falling short of the government target of 1.42 adults say china is facing a demographic time bomb and the numbers may be lowered that caught it. in a 9024000000 babies were born every year last year the figure was 12000000 even if you believe his number is less than half of what it was the workforce is declining quickly and china is losing its economic vitality the population is expected to shrink as early as 2022 this will impact china's ability to compete with other countries tyler's labor force will lose an estimated 35000000 workers over the next 5 years people are also living longer putting immense pressure on china's pension and health system almost 20 percent of the population are over the

age of 60 china's aging prices may burst pipes slowing that's right families are having still with children despite government efforts to boost the best right but ending the one top post what's still the rising cost of living is one but not the only reason women are having fewer children their real problem is actually the long term career are there is. really so sure arrangement or governments. or women with children. and how their careers. the government is under pressure to abandon child limits altogether some say it's too late populations in china's northeast are already shrinking beijing is focusing on what it says are positive changes increased urbanization and high levels of education it's dismissed claims that census figures are inaccurate one should accept that policy changes are coming but hopes workers like her will end up better and not worse off katrine e.u.

al-jazeera beijing before we go back to work out of this was what happened.
