a gathering intensity and pace of attack the army said the building was in part used by hamas. the promised retaliation came swiftly in a coordinated mass launch towards tel aviv. this is a wave after wave of attacks coming out of gaza now these rockets heading in the direction of television we understand there are already sirens being sounded in tel aviv and explosions heard hamas had warned that it would launch such an attack if israel destroyed residential buildings inside gaza the destruction of that large building appears to have led to. big escalation in what already was a dangerous situation. it was the 2nd time in a day that such a barrage of being fired this was the effect of the earlier one in the town of ashkelon where 2 women were killed. in gaza 2 eruptions of overpowering sudden grief this was the funeral of an 11 year old boy who was killed

7:11 am
exercise restraint and to exercise calm oh my cat has more from washington d.c. . both the state department and the white house insisting that both sides must stand down the type of balance that the biden ministration is trying to keep israelis have the right to self-defense on the one side palestinians have a right to peace and security on the other as a quality between the 2 sides which many observers believe is not the case but it must be understood that the by that the administration is attempting to recalibrate its relationship with israel that was a relationship that got very close under the trumpet illustration. to the point where. ordered the removal of the embassy to jerusalem something which effectively put an end to any hope of resuming negotiations between israelis and palestinians and yes there have been some moves from the biden administration to take a stronger line we understand that some biden the fish oils approach the israeli
7:12 am

7:13 am
a major ground incursion into gaza that could really escalate the situation. and lead to a colonial war which i think at this point israeli government is reluctant to enter so i expect it really to limit itself it possible to maybe a day or 2 more days of fighting but of course this situation isn't really under anybody's control not the israeli government's not hamas nor the united states and there's always the possibility that it could escalate the last time there were serious. escalation of violence in 2014 neither hamas nor is it so wanted a 50 day complex that's what they ended up with because neither one could control the chain of events and that's the danger that i think we're out today where suddenly they've been firing more lockett's into central israel than previously and just this evening there's been this article gets into television but what's been striking is that not a lot of these rockets have been intercepted by israel's i'm dunces that they seem

struggling to both food on their tables due to the pandemic that's according to the u.n. food niagara cultural good as asian latin america the missing in human reports. all over chile public schools prepare bags with 15 days' worth of breakfast and lunch one bag per child it's the food a student would normally eat right here if they were attending class what they would have. it includes flavored milk instant oatmeal eggs fish we have to guarantee the proper level of protein and other nutrients for school children. with schools closed for more than a year now due to the pandemic parents or older students need to pick up the food to take home. luis and rice is taking home the bag allocated to his 3 year old daughter daniella. won the lottery but out of an lydia before the pandemic we could buy meat or chicken now we have to restrict pasta rice bread things like that every
