1:07 am
hospitals are not able to deal with the huge number of injuries are arriving to the hospitals. in the last 5 days of collisions this is beyond the capacity of the gaza strip hospital and the health system that has been suffering from 15 years of israeli blockade. one year of confront to go and dealing with the covered nineteen's so the recent collision was what was that among their calculations they have been appealing the. humanitarian international organizations to help in providing medical supplies the thing that the red cross did. today and they provide them with some medical aid in order to confront these waves of injuries.
1:08 am
to deal with the huge number of injured is the bank of blood in gaza also appealed to lunch appeal for public for seeking a blood donations because the hospitals of the gaza strip running out of blood units also. will open the borders for more exceptionally to receive injuries from the gaza strip are also sending supplies for a lady in the sinai hospitals. to prepare the hospital as an artist to receive. exceeded the number of injured exceeded 1000 so far policy and so the health system is according to the health ministry is collapsing and they are appealing around the clock the international community to either to stop the scale asian or. also send more medical supplies to confront these waves of injuries are
1:09 am
arriving to the hospitals thank you very much satellite and in. algis there is a force that is following developments in shaft in occupied east jerusalem this is the district where palestinians have been threatened with losing their homes to israeli settlers how it has a sense of internal conflict and tension is building there as well. occupied east jerusalem outside of israel has also been a scene in recent days of pretty clear instances of racial violence there was a jewish person attacked by a palestinian group close to the city of the old city the other day and earlier here of course is a conference of issues that this ongoing protest but also. ethnic violence going on with palestinians and jewish settlers facing off around a jewish building in a neighborhood just a little way away from here with 2 of 4 of the occupants of that place
1:10 am
brandishing weapons as they threw stones at people from outside who were themselves throwing stones and letting off fireworks into the area those guns were used and one palestinian person was injured as a result of that exchange before the police went in and removed the weapons there have also been other developments elsewhere in israel itself where we've seen. the arrest of a senior muslim cleric a senior member of the islamic movement by the security service the shin bet accompanying that and after that very major disturbances in the palestinian israeli town of call for qana where we've seen streets filled with with protesters moving around and a large number of injuries we've heard from a doctor that there have been dozens of injuries in that incident so as well as talking about this the prime minister benjamin netanyahu talking about rather about
1:11 am
the situation in gaza he's also been talking again about this issue he's been talking about groups of arabs who are attacking jews just for being jews that's correct that has been happening he didn't talk at all in this instance at least about the reverse of that issue and he's promising an extremely severe crackdown really telling police that they need to do whatever they can to to try to quell this violence. or protests have been spreading to the occupied west bank where they were confrontations in 200 different locations including hebron bethlehem and nablus there's a growing anger there of a continued house evictions and demolitions but also israel's general control of the area and now the air campaign taking place in gaza now to ebron has more in ramallah. this is one of several protests that are taking to the streets of the occupied west bank to show support for palestinians in the besieged gaza strip and
1:12 am
against the israeli measures in occupied east jerusalem protestors here are heading towards the illegal jewish settlement a mess out there is that israeli military. and we're seeing palestinians preparing a lot of cocktails to confront the israeli army that has been using live ammunition to disperse the crowd who. were trying to defend our land we have no arms nothing on the horn i'm here because the highly destructive israeli if this trucking houses in gaza killing innocent people why these protests were sparked by the latest round of a skill ation protesters here tell us that they have more than enough reasons to protest the ongoing settler attacks against them that they are often quite carried out with impunity the diminishing hope of having
1:13 am
a state or being free remember these people mostly are young they were born after the palestinian authority was established in the 1990 s. and they've seen their leaders on and on talk about them having a state and they're only seeing the lands on which the state the supposed to be established shrinking. well the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu insists that hamas should pay a very heavy price and warns it won't stop carrying out attacks i mean. the senior leaders of hamas believe that they can escape from our armed forces but they cannot we can reach them everywhere we reach all these people and we will continue to do so they attacked us on our holiday in our capital and fired rockets at our cities they have paid and will pay a heavy price for that this is not over yet. or now the u.s. deputy secretary of state for israel and palestinian affairs has landed in israel
1:14 am
the spokesman for the palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas accuse the u.s. of encouraging what he called israeli war crimes and bill i will read dinah said the silence of the u.s. administration regarding what israel is doing and describing it as self-defense has led to massacres in gaza the west bank and jerusalem that's going to elton john hendren in washington so john just a bit of palestinian reaction there to. what we've had so far from the u.s. administration on this crisis what is the what is the debate the general reaction would you say. of the position a president biden has taken on this. well the official position of president biden and the u.s. government is that it once as a deescalation of the conflict as soon as possible but the actions of the biden ministration is taking our leaving are sending a different message and that message is that they're not in
1:15 am
a big hurry to get this done the president could have spoken through the united nations security council where the u.s. representative actually blocked a statement that would have condemned what was going on there the u.s. position was that holding the meeting itself was enough but there's also a kind of lopsided diplomacy going on where the president has spoken to benjamin netanyahu the prime minister of israel but hasn't spoken to mahmoud abbas the head of the palestinian authority and although the secretary of state has spoken to both sides the person that has been sent was not the secretary of state the person who's going to be dealing with these negotiations from the u.s. perspective is as you mentioned a deputy assistant secretary of state for israeli palestinian affairs. and that sends the message of this is not a big priority for the biden administration and the president has come out saying 1st of all that israel has
1:16 am
a right to self-defense and he went on to say that israel was not acting disproportionately that is despite a lot to death toll which is much heavier on the gaza side that has put the white house press secretary jen psaki in a tough position she has had to walk back some of those comments and defend the u.s. position is even handed here's a little of what she had to say. israel has the right to self defense our focus remains on continuing to use every lever at our disposal to deescalate the situation on the ground i think it's also important to remind people hamas is a terrorist organization hamas does not represent the views the families the people who are suffering all of the palestinian people who are suffering as a result of this violence on but there is no justification for 1500 rockets coming from hamas. within the democratic party though there is increasing dissension
1:17 am
about 20 years ago if this debated come up there would have been essentially 2 parties in the u.s. but one position on the israeli palestinian conflict and that is heavily supporting israel well although it's not a majority what you're seeing now is one member of congress after another on the democratic side speaking up in the u.s. house of representatives rashida to leave is the 1st palestinian american member of congress and in tears she spoke on the house floor asking how many palestinians would have to die before the u.s. recognize that their lives matter and this is happened time after time alexandria ocasio cortez among others has also spoken up so joe biden is getting some friendly fire from within his party thank you very much john hendren in washington. watching al jazeera live from london in a brazen lava stories as well in the program u.s.

of the the and the list goes on and on when it comes to an economic value of that activity i need decent access to to to leave this to seeking medical medical treatment for example why would israel. prevent 70 or 60 year old women and men to get treatment in a broad order in the west bank even if not in israel but even in the west bank why would that still continue that's that's the daily life of palestinians you know securing daily rocket supply and electricity and seeking. seeking medical treatment all of that basic stuff do people do people understand that this is what what gazans are facing and again that the bigger picture is extremely important because we need to see it now more than any other time what is

1:28 am
indigenous people it says that chile is a monocultural country so that is our 1st challenge not only to be recognized as a people but to obtain historic recognition of the genocide carried out against the mob by colonial state that has to chile a miser the native people to create a how marginalized country at an irreparable cost for our own people romero's father was a revered community long call or chief before he died earlier this year he asked his son to take his place as a candidate to fill one of the 7 seats allocated to the month in the upcoming constitutional convention. we believe that firstly has to be a historic recognition of what happened to generate justice and reparation and compensation for the damage done to our people just like the german state has done to compensate victims of the holocaust. the indigenous weaponry people on easter island to the eye matters in northern chile will have seats at the convention but
