flights have now being diverted. but we begin our coverage in gaza with our reporter suffer. any developments over the past hour or so. the latest development is now we could see in the bars around stuff being fired from gaza into israel. in the last hours that was all the sudden a lot of a huge wave of israeli. forces artillery and tanks participated in that wave of recent israeli attack was concentrating in the north of the gaza strip. we could hear a lot of explosions we're trying to understand from people living in the north what's going on there just said suddenly the israelis are. being

firing their rockets on their artillery in the north of gaza near the border line. appeal is that families are appearing also in the north of gaza following that wave of israeli raids appealing the ambulances to reach that area because they say that some people have been injured. also it's. difficult for them to reach the those areas because these bomb beings have destroyed the roads that link the north with with with gaza city it's still unclear the results of that soon wave of recent israeli. raids. across. artillery and tanks all this and then for the 1st time they all participate together the minister of health. about $109.00 people

killed including $28.00 children and. 15 women and more. injured people the number of injured people is more than 620 people. hundreds of families because of the heavy. artillery shells on the bombing in the north they were forced evacuated their homes to take from school. shooters still 'd the palestinian fire fighting groups. until now they are firing. rockets towards israel 1st their 1st response to the latest israeli attack. and we've been hearing that there's heavy troop movement in southern israel on the

israeli side of the border that the military does really military has drawn up a plan for a possible ground offensive now just to emphasize for the viewer is none of this definite but it is a possible ground offensive how much worry is there in gaza over a possible ground offensive by israel. offensive grow the provision is not the easy for the israelis because they know that they said that at all times that they don't want to be trapped in the military wing or of the armed groups they have said several times that they are waiting for the israelis to enter gaza because as they said they are preparing sort of prizes also the structure of gaza. as we've said before it's very crowded and the house is the city that is in shell houses

a lot of other close to the border so it's not that easy for the israelis just to carry out a simple ground offensive what the israelis said is that they have been. carrying out these attacks on these heavy shooting and heavy. artillery shells across the border is just to clear the borders from the palestinian fighters in case and tries to infiltrate or to breach the. trying to or attempting to kidnap. what is believed either the fighting groups or even the israeli side. safra to alec kaluta our reporter in gaza as always thank you. harry for safe israel's southern border near gaza with more on those troop

movements we were talking about earlier. well i mean that the operations on both sides are still going on but there has been a bit of a lull in terms of the most recent rocket fire out of gaza and therefore the rocket interceptions above us however we are still hearing regularly artillery heading into gaza from locations around here also the last 10 minutes the that the sound of machine gunfire apparently coming from nearby helicopter as well and so the situation remains that this is a continuing military attack that the israelis seem to be intent on continuing what we saw earlier was the 1st sort of major movement of heavy armory that we had seen so far tanks tracked vehicles heading in a line south towards gaza at the same time as there was this extremely intensive artillery but barrage lasting about an hour then there was some of it something of

a pause and another big artery barra's coming later and suffer it's been telling you about the impact on the people of northern gaza and people fleeing and the deaths that are being reported there it's not yet clear whether this is a ground invasion or whether it is kind of a warning of the potential of a ground invasion either way it's already having a devastating impact it seems in northern gaza. well earlier israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu visited one of the defensive missile systems known as the i ring though he reiterated israel's resolve to continue its bombardments. are going to miss a little the defense activity of iron dome better resists giving us an offensive space and the israeli defense forces have already attacked hundreds of targets who will soon pass $1000.00 targets we continue striking hamas will defending our citizens it will take more time but with great firmness and off since as well as

defense we will achieve our goal of bringing back come to the state of israel. and lebanese security sources say have rockets have been launched from south lebanon towards israel is in a honda has more on this front battle. well lebanese security sources saying that 4 rockets were fired at israel should just learn weapon on and these sources say to carry tori but it's not clear where the other 2 fell but the israeli army is now saying that these rockets landed in the tree and that there been no casualties and damage the united nations interim force through been southern lebanon there is a peacekeeping force in along that follow teil border they are urging restraint and they say that they're in touch with both sides who are true that there is no flare up lebanese security sources believe that to palestinian time actions were involved

in the middle block of launching. new refugees given that going on that they did in camp some of those camps had closed at the border and some of the palestinian factions in the camps are likely armed get they do have arms so security forces don't believe this is the work of the law or through the coast blog and i'm going back group which is also arm which have gone to war with israel in the past has been lying to me that a piece of what there's an apparent show of support and solidarity with the company of people who are confronting the israeli attacks in gaza over there's a message. another front can easily open while israel continues to aipac gaza back to remember has borrowed heavily armed has been that considered to chop with kartik with so-called getting them track along with some arms along. with the run that there is no doubt opening a new firm case for hezbollah they need to take into account to domestic reaction

it would be very it will be a very very difficult decision but if we have to do that because a full blown escalation at this specific time why lebanon is undergoing all going through a deep political and economic crisis but then again like i mentioned is this a show of support just on the dancing with the product and people in the past one gaza has come under attack some rockets been launched across the border or is there a political message to israel that another barn can age in the open. center holder there reporting from lebanon well as the air strikes continue so too does violence among palestinian israelis and jewish israelis so on a scale not seen in decades the tactics of police are now being called into question or a burden rally reports and the warning and there are some strong images from the start. the the the chants of death to our

troops anger and hate has spilled out into the streets of the coastal city of. pallas still israelis and jewish israelis living in close proximity turning on each other. among many violent incidents on wednesday a palestinian man who's tried from his car by dozens of jewish israelis who continued to beat even after he lost consciousness the video is brokaw's live on israeli television. 7 and closer to tell of eve policy a business is being run from the wave of violence is hit dozens of cities and regions across israel it's the worst between communities living alongside each other in decades israeli officials say they're more violent than the protest alleged acts into fodder in 2000 was the. tension

came to a boiling point as a court prepared to rule the force expulsion of palestinian families from the homes in the occupied east jerusalem shaikh jara neighborhood. israeli journalist yossi melman says he's worried about the challenge to groups inside israel running amok he says they're headed to the abyss as a result of absence of governance and years of incitement and prime minister benjamin netanyahu has both sides to stop the attacks in the attempt to quell the violence netanyahu ordered the emergency deployment of border forces but police tactics are under scrutiny after this video was shed on social media of officers storming a family home in the northern city of haifa they could be seen beating him on armed palestinian israeli man was. the and to the

south of tel aviv the city of law has been put under a state of emergency the 1st in an arab community since 966 it's been one of the worst hit by riots on tuesday night jewish cars in the satellite a mosque was the next day and palestinian hassouna was shot dead by jewish residents during protests. even though the court is in the hearing unchecked era many are now more worried about how to stop the violence caused by anger that's been simmering for much longer nor about a man the al-jazeera. bedder is a palestinian israeli activist as she describes what it's like to be a palestinian living in israel at the moment. we are palestinian so we enjoy or you know the pain. as humans us palestinians but also we endure the incitement the hate the fear of you know not being able to speak arabic on the streets you know we

still have to go to work in mixed offices there's a lot of tension there's a lot of woodside and there's a lot of accusations there's a lot of diligent in my station of who we are you know it always feels like our partnership and our part in this society is is conditional it's conditional to us being a compliant and when we actually have these small moments where it's very clear you know our affiliation and our eye to defeat cation us but listen it's very clear you know in these polarizing moments it becomes very very difficult to be palestinian in is your it absolutely still to come here on the program we'll look at some of the day's other news including a new constitution for chile where the voice voices of women finally be heard.

her we'll thank you thank. you. hello sunshine is a name of the game across australia not much to point out except and i really hate to do this because it's not a whole lot some showers toward victoria otherwise just mostly overcast skies for melbourne 14 degrees will be the high for you where we go now to new zealand a nice friday for both islands this looks a bit more threatening than it is it will produce some mountain rain but it's a quick mover so in and out on saturday and then we get into the sunshine and a nice day for gives been 22 degrees the high for you take you out to china where we are dealing with some flooding rains along the yangtze in particular and we have to be on the lookout for flooding heavy pocket of rain for shanghai on friday that slings into the korean peninsula saturday and key issue island as well and heavy

bouts of rain really from beijing rate down to on in the forecast on saturday take you to the arabian sea now and that disturbance we have been watching starting to see some proper circulation on it it looks like it will stay offshore but we could see it develop into a tropical cyclone over the next little bit likely to impact areas from go to mumbai so certainly a situation that you will need to check back with us because it could change quickly. but. what happens when an island built the tourist suddenly has no this is. one a when east travels to bondi to find out. oh no just 0.

00000 . a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera israel is continuing its bombardment of gaza hundreds of families of taken shelter in un run schools in northern gaza fleeing israeli artillery fire and as israeli troops move to the southern border there are growing fears of a ground offensive international calls for calm meanwhile continue but so far they've been ignored since monday a $109.00 palestinians including $28.00 children and at least 7 people in israel

including one child i think killed. and there's also growing violence among jews and the palestinian israelis in the mixed cities it's on a scale not seen in decades the tactics of israeli police have also been questioned . well the u.n. security council will now means to on sunday to discuss the israel palestine conflict after a proposal to meet on friday was rejected by the united states this says the white house faces greater scrutiny over its response to the escalation earlier president joe biden called for a significant reduction in rocket attacks but he said there is not been an over reaction in the israeli response when the things that. i have seen thus far is that. there is not a significant overreaction the question is how

how we get to a point where they get to where there is a significant reduction in. the attacks particularly the rocket attacks that are indiscriminately fired in the population centers. joe biden there but as our white house correspondent kimberly how kit found out the administration's view on palestinian self-defense is less clear all week the biden administration has repeatedly underscored in its public statements its belief that israel has a legitimate right to self-defense and has condemned the rocket attacks by hamas so on thursday at the white house press briefing i asked the press secretary whether the biden biggest ration also believes the palestinians have that same right to self-defense here's what she had to say. in the state this

policy is also the right itself for the attacks now coming from hamas to consider hamas the palestinian leadership let me rephrase the question you've repeatedly in the statement damn right it. does the white house does the by the ministry sit down to give the. palestinians. in unison who can to that in our readouts and certainly our national security advisor has raised and we have raised at many levels the importance of. addressing the building in these in these communities and the fact that you know in order to move forward and move toward deescalation that's an important issue to address that has been that has come up i think we've got to move on and let you wrap it's clear that democrats in washington have coordinated their message the top democrat in the house of representatives nancy pelosi giving a similar response however president biden is under increasing pressure from more

progressive members of his own democratic party who are accusing him of blaming palestinians for the violence they now face. more than 2000000000 doses of coronavirus vaccines will likely be available in india between august and the same birth that's according to a top government advisor the government is in talks with multiple vaccine manufacturers with a bureaucrat reportedly saying that money was not an issue because the government had a huge budget several states reported an acute shortage of doses in the face of record coronavirus cases and deaths on thursday the country recorded 4120 new covert 1000 deaths and 362700 27 more infections. cali's in new delhi with more now on the vaccination effort the state of other provisions come out and said that it will be spending more than $1300000000.00 to

import vaccines the state has said that it has been in touch with several companies including sputnik and pfizer for this although in all 10 states have now come out and said that they will be looking to float global tenders to import vaccines so they can accelerate the vaccination drive in the states the states include raja's thought on entrepreneur delhi and even maharashtra the modi government has come out and said that any vaccine that has been approved by the f.d.a. in the us and also by the w.h.o. will be allowed to be imported and that import licenses will be granted within 2 days this development comes as states have been scrambling for doses several of them over the last couple of days have actually halted vaccination drives especially for the 18 to 44 age group saying that they just don't have enough supplies you know the more the government has come under

a lot of pressure by health experts and also by opposition parties now who are demanding that the government start a mass vaccination drive and do it for free. there is the advice in the u.s. on mascot wearing so let's go now to john hendren in washington d.c. i mean over the past year or so we've seen how masks were incredibly controversial in the u.s. became very political so what are the changes now that's right barbara it's a red letter day here in the u.s. and i can go bear phase not just for the usual reason which is that i'm in a windowless booth alone here at al-jazeera h.q. in washington but now because i'm one of the 111000000 americans who have been vaccinated in the c.d.c. wants to reward that if if you are vaccinated fully vaccinated 2 weeks out from your shots you are now allowed under the c.d.c.

guidelines to go without a mask in most indoor spaces and they already had issued this rule for an outdoors but now it includes all outdoor spaces now that doesn't apply to a number of people children under 12 are still not eligible for the vaccine doesn't work for hospitals and the transportation security administration says at airports you will still be required to wear a mask and on planes until at least mid september same rule goes for prisons but for everyone else who is vaccinated you can go without a mask for most purposes and that offers an incentive to the nearly 2 thirds of americans who are not fully vaccinated right now. anthony found she the top infectious disease official here in the u.s. said that we want to return to a sense of normalcy making it clear that this was also partly incentive to get people to get vaccinated and about one in 3 americans something like 30 percent

says they don't intend to get vaccinated this is partially aimed at them here's a little of what the c.d.c. director had to say today. if you were fully vaccinated you can start doing the things that you have stopped doing it have the pandemic we have all for the moment when we can get back to some normal. based on the continuing downward trajectory of cases the scientific data on the performance of our vaccine and our understanding of how the virus for at that moment has come for those who are in it. americans are still required to abide by state and local laws and those governments are now scrambling to create new rules telling people what they may do and as you know in the us there are 50 different sets of rules among the states and more among the territories i just went into a coffee shop got a cup of coffee they've still got their mandatory mask sign up and they're going to

have to make decisions like do you require proof that vaccine passport that so many conservative americans are worried about and so for a long while until masks are no longer required you're still going have to carry one of these in your pocket if you're here in the us but we play it safe and carry it anyway john hendren in washington d.c. thank you. chill and head to the polls this week toylike the group of people who will draft the new constitution women have been at the forefront of the push to change the current one and as our last american editor to see in human reports from from tagal how full of the new delegates must be women. 86 year old psychiatry's funny boy has been a fighter most of her life. in the 1980 s. during chile's military dictatorship she co-founded the women from life movement. that's when she says she discovered the value of being a feminist

a further or name we brought together politics with the feminist perspective which meant democracy in the country and in the home more than 3 decades later women in chile have come a long way they've led the charge not only for chile to draft a new constitution but for women for the 1st time anywhere to be represented equally in a constitutional convention. at all of believes gender parity will make all the difference. women are more closely tied to life perhaps because we are much more capable of joining intellect with the heart with the soul women find it easier to work collectively which is vital at a time when there's a need for a new paradigm of building a democracy in which no one is excluded. it's been a long time coming chilean women only won the right to vote in 1949 the current

constitution written in 1980 under the pinochet dictatorship doesn't even mention the word women historian my idea. is one of the candidates she believes the new constitution will spell the beginning of the end of chile's patriarchal society like that with you in a lively institutions constitutions and laws generate a practice that becomes a habit if a constitution is able to mean women and demand that the state takes responsibility for promoting nondiscrimination it gives society a mandate to solve a problem that women have long suffered a long. not everyone is happy about applying affirmative action to this and president. to the election ironically some of the conservative female candidates were opposed to the gender parity mechanism saying that it was undemocratic but the winning argument was that sometimes cultural changes that are necessary have to be forced so that eventually they will become so natural that you won't need

a special law. put it's not just about creating a legal framework for gender equality rather ensuring the men have an voice drafting the document that will likely shape this country's destiny for the foreseeable future. we see in human al-jazeera sent out. and the reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera israel is continuing its aerial bombardment of gaza hundreds of families have taken shelter in the un run schools in northern gaza fleeing israeli artillery fire and there's israeli troops move to the southern border there are growing fears of a ground offensive but any this isn't to invade would be made by the israeli government israeli prime minister benjamin is now meanwhile has visited one of the

defensive missiles.
