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 whichever the impact on northern gaza it was immediate and heavy the 1st day of the holiday it 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 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 had rerouted incoming airliners israeli prime minister visiting iron dome interceptor units said the military attacks would contain. but most of him luck or by 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 says that 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. morning was spent surveying the damage of the attack the night before you heard that there are signs that the clever 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 will soon improve an accurate israeli law enforcement so far unable to stem this common will 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 our aforesaid al-jazeera southern israel. to need

abraham who's in ramallah in the occupied west bank and the bombardment of gaza continues as the possibilities of a ground invasion grows. yes there are until now 119 palestinians including women and children who were killed by the strikes on the gaza strip according to medical figures now according to the israeli army they say that since monday and the start of this round of escalation 2000 rockets have been fired by militant groups into israel a 3rd according to the israeli army where tel inside the gaza strip itself they've been saying the israeli army that the iron dome defense system has intercepted anywhere from 85 to 90 percent of these rockets all in all it's been a tough night for palestinians in gaza we've seen people in and tens of families having to evacuate their houses mainly in the northern part of the gaza strip

because of the artillery intense artillery shelling of the gaza strip and they were seeking refuge in an owner were schooled in honor of schools let's remember that there is no safe place in gaza people don't have access to shelters and it is a very crowded place one of the most condensed places in the world because there are 2000000 gazans living in around 365 square kilometer so you could imagine how many people are living there they have no place to go and let's not forget that more than half of these people are under poverty line so many of those have already lost their homes in previous wars so they don't places to live in now let alone after the fight now one piece of information from the israeli sources is that since the escalation on monday 9 israelis were killed due to the rockets coming from the gaza strip so that's gone up from 7. to tell us more about the protests across the

occupied west bank and more ongoing into communal violence. there are hundreds of palestinians who took to the streets overnight and into the early hours of the morning in different cities in the occupied west bank as a show of anger and frustration at what's going on in gaza it's important to remind our viewers that palestinians in the occupied west bank are 2 hours a 2 hour drive away from the gaza strip but because it's besieged and surrounded by israeli military checkpoints they can't go there and people from gaza cannot exit to the outside world without an israeli permit at most of the times that they can't come to the occupied west bank and they need to have to go outside the world through the border which is almost all old old was closed so people here feel frustrated that they can't help their brothers in the gaza strip so they take to

the streets to show their frustration and anger in that they are standing by their fellow palestinians even if they can't be there with them we've had dozens of people who were injured by israeli army's fire was that whereas the trying to disperse the crowds and there are more coals for protests after the friday prayers to day where palestinians want to show the world that they are still living under occupation and what changed here is that the world is watching. thank you for that . ramallah well p.j. crowley is former u.s. assistant secretary of state for public affairs and he says the israeli and palestinian leadership a reach pushing towards a conflict for political gain. if israel decides that the only way to stop missiles from and rockets from being fired at israel proper is to invade gaza they will do it they've done it before. it will certainly be messy if that occurs there

will certainly be civilian loss of life if that occurs but also hamas will will be punished severely should israel make that decision and the challenge that we face right now is that politics both on the israeli side and on the palestinian side may well be pushing both you know towards this conflict obviously benjamin netanyahu is hanging on for his political life and and you know he may mean he's his political narrative his entire adult life is spent fighting israel's enemies and he thinks this could perhaps change just political fortunes and we've had a situation where fatah has recently postponed a palestinian election and so you have hamas presenting itself as fighting for the palestinian cause so that it that's part of the dilemma here that that perhaps there are forces both on both sides of the border that are telling the 2 sides to his conflict that will and will not necessarily achieve what either wants or the

u.n. security council meets on sunday to discuss the conflict the had been cool to meet on friday but that 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 was when told reports now 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 get to a point 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 tel aviv 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 running down on israel a sign of how challenging it will be for the biden ministration to manage this sensitive part of its foreign policy rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington well still ahead here now there are a major fuel pipeline response in the us off to a cyber attack but how did buying persists. i thought we had a really good idea. a former british prime minister faces uncomfortable questions remember his not being activity. hello widespread instability across europe it's because we've got this blocking high pressure so it's almost creating a traffic jam for all of this energy here giving us some rain i think the heaviest

pockets of rain the potential for severe outbreaks will be anywhere you head along the western coast of italy heavy rain also in store for corsica island and then we've got this disturbance it's going to spread some rain to northern ireland and the u.k. as we go through the weekend and another push of moisture for france in the days to come take you to central africa and the tropics dealing with our usual spells of rain here and of course that has also produced some flooding into areas of the democratic republic of congo the good news is dr weather on tap for friday temperatures in the thirty's can be expected for your forecast i take it to the south right now where it's a fairly pleasant friday but the weather pattern will shift so capetown 21 degrees but let me show you this ok we'll go in for a closer look right now and we see this stream of moisture will impact the western cape almost a week exactly after we saw devastating flooding in stress by we could see

a month's worth of rain for cape town on saturday. it's a very bleak picture for a lot of americans out there white supremacy in fact all of our issues you're putting more money into the hands of some workers taking money out of the hands of other workers everyone goes to their camp it becomes us versus them this is the deal about constraining your nuclear program the bottom line the big questions on out is they are. be the hero the world needs right. washing.

so you want to remind of our top stories this hour and israel has intensified its aerial bombardment of gaza killing a mother and her 3 sons $119.00 palestinians including $31.00 children have been killed since the offensive began on monday. a mass fired another $220.00 rockets towards israel hitting the city of ashkelon at least 7 people have died in israel since the conflict escalated and the israeli military is deploying troops and has plans for a ground offensive. united nations and egypt a leading mediation efforts the security council the u.n. security council holding emergency talks on sunday while secretary general and turning to terrorise his appeal for an end to hostilities. now a severe shortage of coronavirus vaccines is forcing some indian states to try to secure more doses overseas while the state of punjab has said it's joining the un

backed kovacs came under made its government says it hopes more than 2000000000 jobs will be available from august there's also been accused of abdicating its responsibility for making states compete against each other for vaccines on friday the country recorded 4000 deaths and more than 340000 infections. near joins us live now from new delhi and probably tell us more about these latest numbers. new weeks into the pandemic the numbers continue to be incredibly high and the situation is still very dire more than 4000 deaths for the 3rd day in a row and even the fresh caseload is still incredibly high in more than 343000 fresh cases recorded that these are government figures but experts have been saying the actual toll is probably much higher up on ground what we're seeing is that the

system is simply unable to keep pace despite international aid and the lockdowns overnight 15 people in go are in a hospital died because of oxygen shortage and this is the 2nd time in a week this incident has occurred in the same hospital just 2 days ago 26 people died because of the same issue and this despite court orders saying that the state government has to ensure oaxacan supply in the state so what we're really seeing is states despite all they have really struggling to control the situation. the national government saying that more jobs will become available in the summer. yeah the government the mo d. government has said that in the next few weeks we'll actually see the rollout of the sputnik vaccine and that july on what that vaccine will be manufactured in india it also says it's been in touch with several vaccine makers including including pfizer madona and other vaccine makers around the world and that by the

end of the year it would have procured around $2000000000.00 doses at the same time states have been really critical of the way the government has handled the crisis especially the vaccines on ground states are scrambling for dozes and have shot several centers because of shortage so now a dozen of them have said they will be floating global tend to us to import vaccine this is going to cost states billions of dollars at the same time states are admitting this is going to be a tall tossed because of the situation in the international market where several countries that placed orders or why they go lawsuit waiting for their supplies but state say that at this point they have no other choice or probably will leave there for the moment thanks very much indeed for the poverty in utah no state of emergency has been declared in 3 more districts of japan because of rising coronavirus cases it means around 70 percent of the population will not be subject

to restrictions including early closing times restaurants japan's been grappling with a new strain of cave in 1000 just 10 weeks before the take your lympics the jew to start americans who are vaccinated against covert 19 no longer need to wear masks in most places the u.s. centers for disease control has eased a small square in guidance 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. received at least one vaccine john 100 has more now 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. brazil's government repeatedly ignored office to buy millions of coronavirus fight scenes last year that's according to pfizer's boss and lots of america is testifying before a senate commission this investigating whether the government was criminally negligent in its handling of the pandemic contract with pfizer 100000000 doses was only signed it much more than 430000 residents have died from covered 90. well with the country focused on the pandemic brazil's lower house of congress has approved a controversial environmental bill the legislation would make it easier to issue permits for infrastructure mining and farming projects critics warn it's another step on the path to environmental mass destruction this week 9 former ministers signed an open letter opposing the bill which now goes to the senate for.

$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 signed an 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 cyber security and we need we have to we know we know what they need they need greater private sector investment in cybersecurity 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. former british prime minister david cameron has told the parliamentary committee his motive was not money when he lobbied for a financial firm often even office and pays are investigating the way he bombarded ministers with messages last year offering to help during the pandemic and in baba as this report. 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 do you accept that your lobbying the n.h.s. wasn't but it's house but for the house the green so spanish balance sheet i wouldn't accept one second because the in the ed cameron's lobbying was unsuccessful greensill capital collapsed in march this year after its insurers withdrew their cover that's jeopardized $5000.00 steelmaking jobs in the u.k. because the bank was key lender to the firm liberty steel one former minister has
