hundreds more rockets into israel warning of a heavy response to any in cash an. ethiopian peacekeepers apply for asylum in sudan telling al-jazeera. so that israel has intensified its aerial bombardment of gaza despite international calls for calm and a growing number of victims overnight jets tanks and artillery hammered the besieged territory killing a mother and her 3 sons 119 palestinians including $31.00 children have been killed since the offensive began on monday had mass responded in the early hours firing another barrel of $220.00 rockets at least 9 people have died in israel since the conflict escalated the israeli military is deploying troops and has devised plans for a ground offensive this is. the scene right now runs throughout near the israeli gaza

border security forces are also confronting violence between jewish residents and palestinian israelis in multiple cities inside israel at least 374 people have been arrested israeli action has sparked protests across the occupied west bank with crowds growing larger on friday and palestinians marking the move them holiday. or shortly we'll get the latest from needed abraham who's standing by for us in the occupied west bank 1st let's hear this report now from perry forsett who's on 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 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 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 had started grimly enough for these families that end on the streets exposed in fear of an israeli incursion even as the fighting factions said they would welcome one. now paul i 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. earlier 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 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 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 the friends out there no signs of the clever they 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 and soon proven accurate israeli law enforcement so far unable to stem this coming all bloodletting in lloyd the palestinian israeli firing on jews. 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 southern israel. let's speak to our correspondent committee abraham who's in ramallah in the occupied west bank said clearly the bombardment guns are continuing. it's been a tough night on people in gaza and they've been telling us that it was an intensive night of tillery shelling and. strikes from the israeli army that it has led many palestinians to evacuate their houses specifically in the northern part of the gaza strip and they were seeking refuge in order were schools because they have no place else to go after the israeli airstrikes were hitting the area let's not forget that the gaza strip is a very condensed area it has around $5000.00 people or one square kilometer and there are $2000000.00 residents of the gaza strip half of them are under the

poverty line so a lot of them have lost their house their homes in previous wars so they don't even have a place to stay let alone a shelter or a place to hide so it's not a safe place. scene the medical staff in gaza telling us that the numbers of those who were killed by these really airstrikes is 119 but they expect that number to be dramatically higher because they might be still finding bodies under the rubble of the demolition of homes and the result of the airstrikes in general the israeli army says that since the beginning of this round of escalation on monday the militant groups in gaza have fired more than 2000 rockets and they've been many of them have been intercepted by the are in doom and the army says that the system in general has been able to intercept anywhere between 85 to 90 percent of the rockets now there are talks about a ground invasion and to that we've heard we've just heard from

a senior hamas leader in the outside his name is solid and he said that this is where the ground invasion is the square where that is distance excels and the occupation has a catastrophe this is a quote from. threatening israel that the militant factions will be even more harsh on the israelis when there is a ground invasion. what's the prelinger in the occupied west bank where you are about this the growing spread of into communal violence. a lot of palestinians one to use this opportunity that they see that the world is watching what's going on about their daily lives under occupation let's not forget that this is not something new the continued israeli measures on the ground when it comes to illegal israeli settlement building in the occupied west bank including east jerusalem or they're stretching on movement or the whole fact that palestinians cannot have a state of their own they're being occupied by

a military power so they're seizing this opportunity on social media which has become a new battleground for them they want to show the world how their lives are under occupation and they also want to go to confrontation points we've seen calls for protest after the friday prayers asking palestinians to go to israeli military checkpoints to illegal israeli settlements and try and show their show that anger and frustration at the israeli occupation at the same time palestinians would tell you that they are frustrated that the palestinian authority is almost silent at what's going on they don't believe that what the palestinian authority is doing to counter the occupation is enough but palestinian officials have been telling us that they are sticking to diplomatic approach as they president the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has been speaking with lots of world leaders he had a call yesterday with the u.s. secretary of state a glued in the french president and the pakistani at the prime ministers so he is

sticking to a more diplomatic approach which the palestinians on the streets might not be appreciating in the fight against occupation and maybe things that really need abraham in ramallah and let's hear now from hussein you shoes a senior resident scholar at the gold states institute and he says much of the current escalation is following a historical pattern but there is one notable exception. what is changing is the behavior and attitude of the palestinian citizens of israel because the green line is gone because the idea of a palestinian state is kind of gone and because the israeli government and settlers pretend as if there is no green line i think the palestinian citizens of israel are taking that under consideration why should they pretend there is a green line if there is no more really a hope of a palestinian state so they i think are integrating much more with other

palestinians at the same time though you see their parties doing better and emerging as the you know the united list is the 3rd biggest block in the knesset and boss was negotiating with. netanyahu and now he's negotiating with pete and bennett as a possible king maker i don't know what the violence does to his chances could go either way but you have these kind of 2 forces pulling the palestinian citizens of israel to wards of the palestinian national movement on the streets and maybe to wards more integration into the israeli political system you know within the knesset and it's very hard to know which way it's going to go. but the security council at united nations will mate on sunday to discuss the conflicts that had been coals to meet on friday but that was rejected by the united states president joe biden called for a significant reduction in rocket attacks from jordan 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 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 running 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 still ahead here on out there are several indian states saluki overseas to buy covert 19 vaccines is the number of infections climbed above 24000000. and made you

a half weeks ago it's no warm sunshine or rain there south of france is going to be quite wet corsica we went on friday and that rain has crossed towards greece but it's consistently pretty warm and sunny in spain and portugal except in the far north this is the picture for sunday's of the end of the weekend for the most part but if you down in the southwest of spain you'll think this is really hot and you'd be right to think that that was for severe was about $27.00 the max is about $41.00 for a record we're not far off that is a hot participated basically but that is particularly hot in the north of africa relatively quiet now it's still hot in the west so hell and the showers reach as far north as liberia. qatar airways. killing the debate save us the fiction and until 5 you'll voice your only human narrative the media will miss when true story no topic is off the table why in the

yes i mean it's been weeks into the 2nd wave and the numbers continue to be incredibly high and the situation incredibly dire you know the induct ross the 4000 mark in death tolls per day in a row and more than 343000 fresh cases at this point despite lockdowns and even with the international aid coming in we're seeing shortage of important and essential medical supplies just overnight 15 people in a hospital in go are died because of oxygen supply issues and this is the 2nd time in a week that an incident like this has occurred just 2 days ago 26 people died because of the same issue in the very same place in fact the court had also ordered the state government to ensure there was enough oxygen but at this point the system is simply unable to keep pace with the virus and all the while the national government

saying that more germs more vaccines will become available as the summer goes on. yes just earlier today the sputnik vaccines local fox know in southern india has said that it has started a soft rollout of the vaccine in the city of heights or brought hyderabad. the government the more the government said that it expects us to put a vaccine to start rolling out across the nation's will and that by july that's vaccines will be made in india currently it is being priced just under $15.00 per dose at the same time states are still scrambling for joseph some of them have had to actually halt their vaccination drives and shut some centers because they simply don't have enough doses and so a dozen of them have come forward and said that individually they will be floatin global tend to import vaccines and this is going to cost the states billions of

dollars but at this point they say they have to take matters in their own hands they also admit that this is going to be a tall task because of the market forces internationally we know that many countries that placed orders a while ago are still waiting for best supplies but states are saying that you know in the absence of a national vaccine plan they have to do what what they have to do a public thanks for to leave it there for now probably tell the telly thank you. now a state of emergency has been declared in 3 more districts of japan because of rising coronavirus cases it means around 70 percent of population will now be subject to restrictions including early closing times for restaurants and a petition calling for the take your lympics to be cancelled has been submitted to the games organizers more than 350000 people signed the documents which was also sent to the tokyo governor game and sergey to begin on july the 23rd. 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 the 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. have received at least one vaccine dose $100.00 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 with

along the east coast people waited in long lines to get gas and some stocked up and any interior 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 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. russia says a ceasefire between armenia and azerbaijan must be observed this is after a meteor accusers rush on to send troops across the border to claim new territory the acting prime minister says the latest tensions should be settled through negotiations last year war over the disputed region going to occur claimed about 6000 lives then did when armenia gave up territory it had controlled for decades ethiopian peacekeepers in sudan refusing to be sent back to their home country
