there have been heavy troop movements and the israeli military has drawn up plans for a ground offensive hurry 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 barash lasting over an hour. well 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 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 for the shelling perhaps the preliminary phase of a ground attack perhaps

a ploy to pressure hamas which the impact on northern gaza was immediate and heavy . the 1st day of the holiday had 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. now on a lie 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. to the israeli 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 again central and southern israel were targeted by major. 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. we continue to strike hamas while defending. 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 there. it is very possible that there will be an increase in violence here in the coming days they 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 got them a sign that the old adage they did it because we speak arabic we are 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 well just there are suffered in gaza with the very latest. the military wing of hamas some brigades. announced a while ago that they have launched a new project 100. or 100 rockets to was ashkelon.

and that's our. 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 a blunt says we are not able to reach the north of gaza after that he was only the big wave of israeli attacks the local media now is reporting that. after reaching a lot i was in the north of gaza they managed to retrieve the body of a woman or a mother and had 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 eyes of it by the international media the huge wave the big wave of strikes on artillery tanks because normally such attacks or such charades. cut it out in preparation for a ground operation. now the u.n. security council will meet on sunday to discuss the israel palestine conflict a proposal to meet on friday was rejected by the united states earlier president

biden called for a significant reduction in rocket attacks but he said that israeli response was not an overreaction un secretary general until you get terror is calling for an immediate deescalation and the sation of hostilities also 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 say 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 the sensitive part of its foreign policy rosalynn jordan al-jazeera washington. 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 receive the taliban became emotional during talks about how palestinian palestinians were 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 on our unapologetically about our fight against oppressions of all forms and 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 one. now as they respond to use of hamas residents in gaza who works for the norwegian refugee council he told us about having to flee as home after an asteroid. i was in my house with my my pregnant wife miles well my 3 years old daughter and trying to convince ourselves that it's safe to be at your house usually nothing more safe for us than you are your case your house and so at 6 pm 2 days ago i saw the land drone strike had parked me below my house. so i

it was everything happen suddenly i had to flee my house very quickly usually we understand that when they're drunk ok it hit and i've a building means that it will lead to 4 and an airplane attack so i had to fear as much as i can. i didn't i could not take anything because i was just trying to deal with my terrified daughter i had to take care of my regnant wife trying to run away to next about men as as useless as god has also i can see that we are hoping that this is going to finish as soon as it can be any personally i'm wearing the only t. shirt that i have and the only short that i have this is the 1st day of the day this is my outfit for the. other 2000000 gazans are hoping that this is going to finish as much soon as they can. now on the streets of ramallah many are upset that the latest violence has coincided with the muslim holiday either. because

we are not observing any tell of ration this as we'll feel too sad about waste going on in gaza what saddens us more is what is going on in jerusalem especially the end of the holy month of ramadan the israeli occupation forces were in the holy mamas and the festivities will lead us from the summer legacy amid the nonstop shelling in gaza and the rising number of the fallen martyrs we cannot feel any joy for eat however we should observe our rituals it is a saddening situation but say not think and praise be to god. we pray to allah to accept the fall in his mercy and grant speedy recovery to the wounded we hope the world could genuinely pause and think about the injustice done to us the world is turning a blind eye others are adopting jewel standards however this cannot go on to the end of time it will change thanks to the will and fortitude of the palestinian people. well still ahead here on al-jazeera the major fuel pipeline restarts in the

saturday up to 44 degrees ok off we go to south africa where temperatures and conditions are pleasant now capetown 21 degrees stress by 20 but we do have a big push of moisture for the western cape and this is certainly not good news almost a week after we dealt with intense flooding towards stress by but i think the worst of it will impact cape town so i show you the 3 day forecast so friday will squeeze one more nice day but by saturday 75 millimeters of rain that is more than a month's worth of rain in 24 hours so the very real risk of flooding is here. but. still you protest by a palestinian out east using a symbol of national identity to create postage and possible stamps.

come flying anywhere sending a message of resistance about the average israeli conflict. we come to palestine. palestine sunbonnet a stamp of defiance on al-jazeera. what the law reform. looking back you want you want is there with me still run a reminder of our top stories israel is continuing its bombardment of gaza ignoring international calls for calm $113.00 palestinians have been killed since monday including $32.00 children a mass has fired another barrage of rockets towards israel overnight hundreds of

on friday the country recorded 4000 deaths and more than 340000 infections let's get the very latest from a correspondent barbie matal who joins me now live from new delhi 24 hours ago the you and i were talking about the ongoing death toll across the country but we're getting a much clearer picture now of the tragedy that's unfolding in the raw heartland of the country. we are just weeks into the 2nd where i mean the numbers are still incredibly slim on thursday more than 343000 cases were recorded and for the 3rd day in a row india record it more than 4000 deaths and these are official figures remember experts have been saying that the actual toll could be much higher what you're seeing is really a system that is struggling to keep pace but in rural india and also in urban india you know we've been seeing images from rural india where people are sharing

hospital beds sharing oxygen cylinders and overnight a tragedy occurred in go out with 15 people died because of oxygen supply issues in a hospital this is the 2nd time in this week that is that an incident like this has occurred that just 2 days ago 26 people died in the very same hospital because of the same issue in fact the court had ordered the state government to ensure that oxygen supplies you know were adequate but at this point the system at every level is struggling to keep pace indeed of course is growing pressure from politicians and civil society across the board for the need for a national lockdown what sort of discussion is being heard and what sort of pushback for the government thomas. well state governments have been highly critical of the modi government's handling of the crisis you know knock downs and also vaccines so at this point what you're

seeing is state governments taking matters into their own hands it on terms of the lockdowns several states that are seeing spikes and have been seeing spikes especially in southern india are in fresh lockdowns for the next 2 weeks even states where you know cases have been going down like you know delhi where we are lock downs have been extended for another week because at this point as we've been reporting the health care system is simply unable to keep pace the other areas where state governments have been taking matters into their own hands is vaccines you know a dozen of them saying they will be floating global 10 does what billions of dollars but there do know that when it comes to procure in vaccines from the international market it is going to be a long shot i mean at this point companies are scrambling to even fulfill past orders countries that place orders a while ago are still waiting for supplies but states are saying that if the more the government is not going to listen to them they will have to take matters into

their own hands and ensure that their population is safe for the have they done so much problem with all the correspondent in new delhi now the u.s. centers for disease control say people who are vaccinated against kovac 90 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 nearly 59 percent of adults in the u.s. have received at least one vaccine 100 how small 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. the head of pfizer in latin america has told brazilian politicians the government repeatedly ignored offers last year to buy millions of vaccine doses from the company carlos mario was testifying before a senate commission investigating whether the government was criminally negligent and its handling of the pandemic a contract with the firm for 100000000 doses was only signed in march more than 430000 brazilians have died from covert 19. hundreds of brazilians have rallied against racism in sao paulo now they're demanding justice after a police raid on a slum in rio de janeiro killed 29 people last week thursday marks the day slavery was abolished in brazil more than a century ago but many protesters say they're still not free from it they say police target people of color and the supreme court should investigate alleged human rights abuses during the raid u.s.

president joe biden says petrol supplies 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 63 will shortage and panic buying as prices soared at the pump the reportedly paid hackers $5000000.00 in untraceable crypto currency as ransom political hate has more from washington d.c. . a major oil pipeline shutdown the government told people not to panic it didn't work videos 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. the balls are stood prime minister has been reappointed just days after he was removed from a no confidence vote because. he will stay in office as leader of a minority government after the opposition failed to get enough support for a replacement but it lead to secure majority support from parliament to stay on now that could be a struggle since his own communist party has split and others are unwilling to back him. chileans head to the polls later this week to elect a new group of people who will draft a new constitution women have been at the forefront of the push to change the current one. lots in america at elysee a human report 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 liberally because 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 the constitutional convention. yet 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 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 mean 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 this 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 that women have a voice in drafting the document that will likely shape this country's destiny for the foreseeable future. we see in human al-jazeera sent out. your child is there with me so raman in doha a reminder of our top stories israel is continuing its bombardment of gaza are ignoring international calls for calm $113.00 palestinians have been killed since monday including 32 children hundreds of families are taking.
