her family living in fear. she said quote tonight i put the kids to sleep in our bedroom so that when we die we die together. and americans are told they can now a mask if they're fully vaccinated against the corona virus. back into the program israel's bombarding garza for another night ignoring international calls for calm and the rapidly rising number of deaths. $113.00 palestinians including $32.00 children have been killed since the israeli offensive began on monday and at least 7 people in israel have died since the conflict escalated in the early hours of friday morning hamas fired another barrage of $250.00 rockets towards israel hitting the city of ashkelon well in southern

israel there are been heavy troop movements on the israeli military has drawn up plans for a ground offensive how the force that reports from the border near gaza. just after sunset we watched the biggest movement of israeli armor we've seen so far here on the fringes of northern gaza as the tanks moved south heavy artillery station behind them fired round after round of long range shells a prolonged intensive lasting over an hour on the day that the israeli military confirmed that it was preparing a plan for a ground offensive this is the kind of heavy armory movement that we haven't seen up until this point also consistent heavy artillery fire as well that plan is due to go up the chain of command to the political leadership for a decision to be made. with darkness another line of tanks and further shelling perhaps the preliminary phase of a ground attack perhaps

a ploy to pressure hamas whichever the impact on northern gaza it was immediate and heavy. the 1st day of the holiday and started grimly enough for these families it end on the streets exposed in fear of an israeli incursion even as the fighting factions said they would welcome one that is. not on ally though nothing that the enemy is doing will change our strategy will have a bigger chance of killing and capturing more of your soldiers don't threaten us with what will bring us victory this would be the shortest way to our victory. really it is really military had said it carried out a series of major strikes against hamas destroying an intelligence unit in southern russia. knocking a hamas attack drone out of the sky. for yet another day the rocket fire out of gaza came in waves against central and southern israel were targeted by major barrier and hamas said a new long range rocket was used to target the far southern airport of rome on

where israel routed incoming airliners israeli prime minister visiting iron dome interceptor units said the military attacks would continue but most of the hamas we continue to strike hamas while defending our citizens it will take more time. a short time later he was on israel's 2nd front a parallel crisis of lawless racial violence which has gripped its towns and cities . the intelligence we have fears that it is very possible that there will be an increase in violence here in the coming days there may be an exchange of blows here and in cases like these in order to suppress the riot we need to use force a lot of forth we will use it while giving full support to the israeli police. in the town of bad morning was spent surveying the damage of the attack the night before the 1st of them a sign that the world would never say did it because we speak arabic we're not bad

people we did nothing re never hurt anyone we've been here for 20 years alongside them as neighbors family and friends we did not expect this to happen. intelligence about further violence was soon proven accurate israeli law enforcement so far unable to stem this common or bloodletting in large palestinian israeli firing on jews was. elsewhere jewish israeli journalists attacked by jewish extremists unhappy with their coverage this is a spasm of internal insecurity that like the military situation in the south is at the moment only escalating are a force that al-jazeera southern israel al-jazeera suffered in gaza with the very latest. the military wing of hamas some brigades. announced a while ago don that they have launched a new project 100. 100 rockets to was ashkelon.

and that's how. they said that this to you about ours came in response to the latest israeli raids airstrikes doc targeted civilians in the north of gaza strip. going back to that attack before we said that you have been says were not able to reach the north of gaza after the he was only the big wave of israeli attacks the local media now is reporting that. after reaching a lot i which is in the north of gaza they managed to retrieve the body of a woman or a mother and have 3. sons. this is the latest regarding. the last israeli attack raid in the north of the gaza strip still it's back and forth every time we have. air strikes media actually we have

a response. from the on groups in the gaza strip for the time being from what we can see it's quite impossible for the israeli. not from the technical point of view or of the military point of view but still you know the ground operation needs lots of preparations needs lots of troops there israelis have not the floyd that enough number of times on troops for a ground operation. was misunderstood by the by the international media the huge wave the big wave of airstrikes and artillery and tanks because normally such attacks or such charades. cut it out into. parish and for a ground operation. palestinians have been protesting in cities across the occupied west bank against the israeli offensive. there have been

crowded demonstrations throughout the week but the crowds grew larger on friday as palestinians mark the muslim holiday of eve calling for an end to israel's bombardment of gaza. the un security council will meet on sunday to discuss the israeli palestine conflict a proposal to meet home friday was rejected by the united states president joe biden called for a significant reduction in rocket attacks but he said the israeli response was not an overreaction the u.n. secretary general intended to terror she is calling for an immediate deescalation and to say should have hostilities whilst in jordan has more from washington d.c. . after 4 days of deadly violence between the palestinians and the israelis u.s. president joe biden is sticking with his calls for both sides to hold their fire the question is how. how we get to a point where they go to puri where there is a significant reduction in the attacks particularly the rocket

attacks that are indiscriminately fired into population centers the biden administration had not made the israeli palestinian matter a top foreign policy concern mainly because of the cold at 1000 pandemic and the resulting economic slowdown analysts saying that was a mistake the team has not fully stepped out on the middle east it's adopted this posture that i think affected badly the obama administration as well which is this reactive tactical crisis management posture the white house has agreed to join an emergency un security council meeting on the crisis on sunday in the meantime it has sent a state department official to tell of eve to urge israeli and palestinian officials to declare a cease fire a point underscored thursday by u.s. secretary of state tony blinken but we are deeply concerned with the loss of life.

among civilians especially among among children. the palestinians have a right. to live in security and to live in peace just as israelis do and so. we are working hard to encourage all sides to stand down meanwhile in congress strong bipartisan support for israel but from democrats a show of support too for palestinians caught in the fighting there is a respect for meeting the needs of the palestinians but there is a palestinian have struggle and this is about how mosque so i wouldn't just label it palestinian i would say hamas and hamas is. threatening the security of people and israel israel has a right to defend itself from republicans accusations the u.s.

has indirectly endangered israelis by trying to pursue a new nuclear deal with hamas as primary supporter iran it's difficult to believe an american president would consider removing terrorism or missile related functions at the very moment iranian rockets are writing down on israel a sign of how challenging it will be for the biden administration to manage this sensitive part of its foreign policy rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. well correspond complete sentence is update from the white house press secretary jens sakhi whether palestine and israel had equal rights to self defense. 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 it's also our right to sell our lives for the attacks not coming from hamas to consider hamas the palestinian leadership let me rephrase the question you forgive me in the statement damn right it. does the white house does divide the ministration sit down with the. palestinians. he is looking to that in our readouts and certainly our national security advisor has raised and we have raised 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 the 1st palestinian american woman to be elected to the u.s. congress has accused her colleagues of funding what she calls israel's apartheid government when she became emotional talking about those affected by the escalating violence in gaza. i am a reminder to colleagues that palestinians do indeed exist that we are human that we are allowed to dream we are mothers daughters granddaughters we are just a seekers and our unapologetically about our fight against oppressions of all forms in colleagues palestinians aren't going anywhere no matter how much money you send

to israel's apartheid government i want to read something a mother named the man in the has a wrote 2 days ago she said quote tonight i put the kids to sleep in our bedroom so that when we die we die together and no one would live to mourn the loss of another when. well still ahead here on al-jazeera pressure about something india's government calls from several states go a lot of the more credible respects things that have a just feel pipeline restarts in the us after a cyber attack but i think buying continues.

hello we haven't been able to say this for a while no real major storms across the u.s. we do have some bits and pieces of energy and we're getting into a northwest breeze for florida so that's given us some moisture and the potential for some showers as we head toward miami really unsettled for the next few days but look at this only a 30 percent chance of showers on sunday just had to put that on your radar but one area that could really use this rain is toward the southwest tender dry conditions drought emergency through areas of california crews battling this brush fire in california now the one thing that will be on their side is light wind but still dry conditions los angeles 22 degrees on friday now where the rain has been a problem is in central america for mexico because so much of the country was dealing with a drought and you got this deluge of rain all at once couldn't keep up more heavy rain in the forecast from mexico city on friday ok for south america i think the

heaviest pockets of rain will be ecuador on friday but our usual suspects so north in peru southern areas of colombia venezuela toward the south it's unsettled but pleasant in the north caracas a high of $29.00 on friday. night we will never give up we will never get to see that shook us politics to its core new man. who examines the fallout i don't know what the hell happened to the republican party undocks what makes for the grand old party everything is anger everything is pretend this is trumps party will the fire overtake the party will it overtake the country folk lines capital attack the republican party off to drum on now just era.

but like you're watching i was there it makes the whole rob a reminder of our top news stories israel is continuous bombardment of garza recording international calls to calm $113.00 palestinians have been killed since monday including $32.00 children come us has fired another barrage of rockets towards israel. and hundreds of families are taking shelter in un run schools in northern gaza to escape israeli artillery fire israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the offensive won't stop until peace returns and the un security council will hold emergency talks on the conflict on sunday secretary general antonio terrace has appealed for an immediate deescalation and to say should of hostilities.

now the u.s. centers for disease control say people who are vaccinated against covert 19 no longer need to wear masks in most places but it still recommends using face coverings in crowded settings such as buses planes and hospitals really 59 percent of adults in the u.s. have received at least one vaccine dose 100 has more from washington d.c. . for most indoor spaces you can go without a mask now under the c.d.c. guidelines if you have been vaccinated now this is largely to reward those people who have gotten vaccinated that's 111000000 americans of course those under 12 are not eligible but it's also an incentive to those who haven't been vaccinated and some of the concern is that about 30 percent of americans in polls have suggested that they won't get vaccinated at all this is a way of saying to them there are rewards for being vaccinated but it creates some

issues for state and local governments they have to scramble now to come up with new rules because those rules haven't gone away the c.d.c.'s rules are just guidelines it is the state and local governments who actually come up with the rules but they are doing that right now j.b. pritzker the governor of illinois through a spokesman has issued a statement saying the governor firmly believes in following the science and intends to revise his executive orders the scientists message is clear if you're vaccinated you can safely do much more so the rules are changing here in the u.s. not fast enough for many conservative americans and of course there are for those who are immune deficient they'll still have to consult their doctor before deciding not to wear a mask but for anybody who wants to wear one they still can they can be safe and continue to wear them but millions of americans have been crying out for a change in these rules many of them are conservatives in congress who recently called the c.d.c. on the carpet for being too slow about this now we see the c.d.c.

responding. several states in india are floating global tenders to obtain vaccines as the country faces an acute shortage in the face of the world's worst ongoing covert 19 outbreak one state but jobs says its joining the u.n. back to kovacs scheme the modi government has been accused of abdicating its responsibility by making states compete against each other for vaccines it's expressing hope more than 2000000000 additional jobs will be available between august and december and on thursday the country recorded more than 44000 pardon me 100 deaths and more than 360000 infections. is in new delhi with more on india's vaccination effort. the seat of honor for this has 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 order 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 rogers thought on entrepreneur delhi and even maharashtra the more the government has come out and said that any vaccine that has been approved by the f.d.a. in the u.s. 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 those as 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. science in latin america has told

brazilian politicians the government repeatedly ignored offers last year to buy millions of vaccine doses from the company colors morillo was testifying before a senate commission investigating whether the government was criminally negligent in its handling of the pandemic the contract with the firm for 100000000 doses was only signed in march both of the 430000 brazilians have dined with buying t. . chileans head to the polls later this week to elect a group of people who will draft a new constitution would have been at the forefront of the push to change the current one and us all lots in america absolutely and human reports from santiago half of the new delegates must be women. 86 year old psychiatry's funny boy at all or 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 further we need more lubberly 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. yet all of the leaves 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 1800 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 your lovely institutions constitutions and laws generate a practice that becomes a habit if a constitution is able. to men women and demand that the state takes responsibility for promoting nondiscrimination it gives society a mandate to resolve the problem that women have long suffered along. not everyone is happy about applying affirmative action to dish unprecedented 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. but it's not just about creating a legal framework for gender equality rather ensuring the women have an voice drafting a document that will likely shape this country's destiny for the foreseeable future . we're seeing human al-jazeera sente al. us president joe biden says petrol applies should return to normal in the coming days after the country's largest fuel pipeline network restarted colonial pipeline was hit by a cyber attack last week causing a 6 day fuel shortage and panic buying as prices soared at the pump the firm reportedly paid hackers $5000000.00 in untraceable cryptocurrency is runs a political haven has more from washington d.c. . a major oil pipeline shutdown and the government told people not to panic it didn't work then like these are all over social media prompting a government agency to warn this is

a really bad idea the plastic will melt and bad things going to happen but all along the east coast people waited in long lines to get gas and some stocked up and any container they could find again bad idea but the panic could soon be subsiding the pipeline that was shut down after hackers infiltrated the computers of colonial pipeline has been restarted there are reports that the company paid almost $5000000.00 in ransom it continues to be the position of the federal government the f.b.i. that it is not in the interests of. the private sector for companies to pay ransom because it incentivizes these actions and president joe biden has sided executive order demanding that everyone selling software to the federal government has to meet certain cybersecurity standards but biden says he can't make private companies do the same private entities are in charge of their own cybersecurity and we need

we have to we know we know what they need they need greater private sector investment in cyber security and that's why we launched a new public private initiative in april even with the oil flowing again it will take days or weeks to refill the tanks with half of all gas stations dry in georgia almost 70 percent in north carolina and almost 73 percent in washington d.c. as people continue to panic buy in more stations run dry reinforcing the idea that there is something to worry about regardless of what the government says is a very bad idea for a temporary problem pedicle al-jazeera washington. forward british prime minister david cameron has told the parliamentary committee his motive wasn't money when he lobbied for financial firm after leaving office on a piece or investigating the way he bombarded ministers with messages offering to help during the pandemic but he reports. david cameron shortly before becoming british prime minister in 2010 i believe it's time we shone the light of

transparency into lobbying in our country and forced our politics to come clean now he's being asked to come clean to parliamentary committees are investigating cameron's lobbying on behalf of green silk capital a financial firm he worked for after he left office between march and june last year cameron and his staff sent 45 emails texts and whatsapp messages to ministers and officials he says he wanted permission for green seal to issue government insured loans to help companies through the pandemic the motivation for contacting the government was that i thought we had a really good idea for how to help and help extending credit to thousands of businesses cameron says that in april last year at the time of his intensive lobbying he had no sense crean still was close to failing but company owner lex green still himself giving evidence to m.p.'s this week said he'd become aware of supply chain problems in march 2020 and discussed it with david cameron he was

asked whether the furious lobbying was aimed at saving his firm but actually part of this push was to get cash into the business is there will be clear concern about the future of the business and the point is to general think it's important to make something very clear that means still itself and indeed is that chancellor put in is there. and that john and a governor of the bank of england. greensill at no time sought funding for itself but cameron's lobby included 9 whatsapp messages to chancellery she soon ak complaining the treasury's objections to green so its application were nuts as well as a dozen text messages to the treasury's top civil servants the previous year cameron and lex green so had met health secretary matt hancock for a private drink to discuss a new payment scheme for national health service staff turning now to green. i'm not named. daily or weekly in advance directive that your not being the
