the gaza strip 145 palestinians have been killed since monday including 41 children and israeli airstrike has also destroyed a building in gaza housing international media including our jazeera and the associated press. the building collapsed after being struck by most. missiles it housed residential apartments and a number of news outlets the building was evacuated after receiving a warning an hour before the strike out there has condemned the bombing as a clear act to stop journalist reporting on events israeli army is reportedly about to demolish another residential tower in gaza with residents given a warning to leave or dozens more have been fired from gaza into israel one man was killed when a rocket exploded in a street in the robot gun suburb of tel of eve nearby buildings were damaged by the
12:03 am
shrapnel warning sirens have been sounding in tel aviv and across central israel 10 people have been killed in israel since monday including 2 children no country would tolerate this israel will not tolerate this israel has responded forcefully to these attacks and we will continue to respond forcefully until the security of our people is reinstated and restored as always israel is doing everything possible to protect our civilians and keep palestinian civilians out of harm's way we demonstrated this yet again today when we want civilians to vacate the building used by the hamas terror intelligence they vacated the premises before the target was destroyed and that's why you don't hear of casualties from these collapsing turtles because we take special care to avoid these civilian casualties exactly the opposite of hamas. they head of hamas is political here is mild hania was defiant
12:04 am
as he addressed a protest in doha against the bombing of gaza. there is distance who will not give in and will always be on top of the mountain carrying the soul. and or not carrying the sword and shield for. god willing brothers and sisters oh look this is huge garza. that has been besieged for 15 years 15 years under siege from every direction disused gaza today. it's not a hurry force it is in west jerusalem and tell us more about netanyahu as comments on the end of the offensive continue it. well yes he said that it would continue as long as is necessary it's not the 1st time he said that in the
12:05 am
last few days but it is another fairly strong indication that despite what also happened during the course of today a discussion between him and the u.s. president biden on the phone. netanyahu publicly at least is talking about continuing this operation the hebrew section of his speech was reported to include words slightly different from the english sections said that the fighting would last days yet so it's not an indication a sorry that it's going to that he that israel at least is intending to push on for a weeks long war as we have seen in the past but of course it's difficult to predict exactly how it will play out there war were some reports that the ministerial meeting that took place earlier on included calls for the attack to stop because of calculations of his road pretty much exhausted its target bank however equally there are other reports suggesting that israel may well expand its
12:06 am
targets to as for what he said to president biden it was similar we understand or at least the that the headlines from it from the israeli side are you know some of the message he conveyed saying that israel is taking all care it could in the protection of civilians but that it would that he had communicated what the next steps that israel plan to take would be and he also spoke about being into coming alliance around israel. he did and once again he came out extremely strongly against the arab versus jewish side of that comment of violence saying that israel was the jewish state would not tolerate pogroms against its people would not tolerate vigilantism again saying that not all arabs were involved but there was a substantial number that were out to cause harm he also did talk about the fact
12:07 am
that there were attacks going the other way as well in less. heightened language than the what he was saying about the the palestinian israeli attacks on jews but it is another already fairly depressing sight there are images being shared on social media videos of people being stoned in cars based on an assumption that they are palestinian israeli i spent a pretty long night last night looking at these videos as they were coming in and they just keep coming in despite the various pledges from the israeli government that it's going to crack down on it and indeed the indications from netanyahu the he wants to see the border forces and the police do much more pretty much off the leash when he's talking particularly about the palestinians ready violence against jews that is obviously causing some concern in that community as well as well as
12:08 am
that there is the far right politician it's a my ben via who said he's going to go to one of the hot spots the city of lahore or lid in arabic himself he's been injecting himself into this racial tension into this political tension throughout and he's someone that their own self has brought into the israeli parliament the knesset by engineering an alliance with another right wing party so people are looking at netanyahu for having stoked this in several ways but not least through is tacit support of a far right seen as racist politicians are a force that thank you very much indeed. now this there has released the following statement about the destruction of the building in gaza in the strongest terms the condemning the strongest terms the bombing and destruction of its offices by the israeli military in gaza and saying it views this as a clear act to stop journalists from conducting their sacred duty to inform the world and report events on the ground the statement went on to say the assault aims
12:09 am
to silence the truth by killing the messenger and that journalism is not a crime he says he press released this video of that stuff evacuating the building in gaza before the israeli airstrike the president and c.e.o. of the news agency gary pruitt says the company any narrative voided a loss of life and he told us he would like to see proof that hamas had a presence in the building. i can tell you that we've been in that building for 15 about 15 years with our bureau we certainly had no sense that hamas was there we would like to see the evidence we're not sure whether hamas was there or not we don't know but i can tell you the impact will be that the world will know less about what's going on in gaza because that building was leveled it had great sightlines to show the world what was going on in gaza and that will be lost. returned to the scene of the destroyed media building shortly after it was struck
12:10 am
we are back to our destroyed 1st photo reporting here our colleagues even people who used to live in this place. started to collect or look for for some. important things including equipment including important. things after out of the building is thought that liquid love. that is that an air strike is intensified since the early afternoon also the palestinian fighting groups are intensifying their reach or of their fire or extending their range of fire towards southern israel they hit tel aviv they had better shave up and other longer range cities the minister posts say just that hospitals are receiving more bodies and more injured people and their hospitals they find lots of difficulties in dealing with this huge number of injured people egypt opened its borders for
12:11 am
receive deceiving the injured people for to treat them because the health system in gaza is not able and more to do without. more mortars that they shelled houses also have been receiving warnings from the israelis and they have a thing i'm looking for shelter after they have received these warnings people are seeing i talk to come not to leave except for. elements and to meet the needs of their children and their families. across gaza families have been holding funerals for loved ones killed by israeli airstrikes many of them children nora byrne manley has more and a warning there are disturbing images from the beginning of her report. at the funeral of a child in the city of rafah in southern gaza i'm a woman in shock says only children playing with their toys mothers grandmothers
12:12 am
and families left inconsolable yes it was. innocent victims of days of heavy israeli airstrikes and artillery fire that destroyed homes and neighborhoods vote out of what is is baby done it we were sitting safely at home we didn't hear a warning rocket our house got hit violently why why why do they bomb houses and their residence. in the northern beit hanoun neighborhood people search through rubble for their belongings gaza is home to about 2000000 people in an enclave under israeli blockade there are few places to escape the bombs gaza is probably the most densely populated spot on earth it has been under 14 years of air sea and land blockade it is the place where the spare is extremely high and we're civilians are trapped. tooth scape the bombs many children as sheltering in schools
12:13 am
but they still don't feel safe. and i'm not that we ran out of our house after the air attacks and our house was bombed we fled to the school we're told at the smoke from the bombs poisonous we don't know what the poison is and we only know that the thick smoke after the explosion was very choking for what purpose in the united states on thursday house democrat rashida to play up made the emotional statement to congress reading the words of a palestinian mother i want to read something a mother named the man and 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. as al-jazeera spoke to a man about the message it was interrupted as bombs exploded nearby you can hear it actually while we're speaking there is loud sounds of bumping the. people who are living through fine lines. every single day. we
12:14 am
wake up to reply to messages like iraq. and. worse here every single night we are names. hamas and its allies have responded to the attacks by firing a barrage of rockets from inside gaza. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the bombardment will not end soon. as bombs fall rescue workers seek the survivors after a house was hit an all shouty refugee camp on friday killing 10 members of a family funerals are taking place throughout gaza for those killed which includes dozens of children for those who survived the bombs they're now in the traumatized and terrified of further attacks. during the al-jazeera a 5 month old baby was the only survivor from that israeli air strike on a house in the refugee camp in gaza baby omar is being treated in hospital he
12:15 am
suffered a broken leg ironed throat injuries and bruising his mother and 4 siblings all died in the attack along with 5 other relatives they were visiting family for aid celebrations. and what is that the muslim i don't i call on the international community those who support human rights and children's rights and democracy those who penalize only want to harm the child to look to our children here who are being bombed with strikes could drop entire floors on to people whose body parts we have to recover. as the air strikes have continued so too has violence among palestinian israelis and jewish residents inside israel and the past week has seen riots on a scale not seen in decades the mayor of the mixed town of laud which has seen some of the worst violence has compared it to a civil war the tactics of police have also been called into question yossi beilin is a former israeli justice minister and was a major figure in the israeli palestinian peace negotiations in the 1990 s.
12:16 am
he says the divisions will take a long time to heal usually the feeling is. of freeing surprise when people who yesterday sit together in the same restaurant and exchange jokes signed in says now against each other and it's frightening and they know from our experience 20 years ago 21 years ago is that. it will be over but it will take time until people will be ready to. turin you'll the same kind of relations that developed in the 1st. as the deputy general director of the legal center for arab minority rights in israel she joins us now on skype from haifa thank you very much for being with us i want to ask you what the latest is on the into communal violence has that settled down at all or is
12:17 am
it still continuing. first of all the situation is still continuing but i would like actually to start to with the. facts and some misleading facts that have been sacked whether by politicians led by prime minister netanyahu and also misleading facts by the israeli media which all of them are. are presenting that it's an issue of the arabs very says jews arabs attacking synagogues arabs attacking a property of jews and the situation is not like that the situation as that we are talking about an organized right wing settler extreme violence which is being organized by settlers that are living and are residents of outside mixed cities and outside of our towns that are organizing as. inner crime
12:18 am
a group through social media calling each other where they will attack tonight and tomorrow what time what to wear how to be what happens to bring and what are the property off arab houses that should be attacked they enter the arab towns and the mixed cities and start at tacking and hurting arab people aren't citizens and i have property and the problem is that in addition to the fact that it is being organized the problem the issue is that it is being all organized by the support of the in direct maybe support even if it's not declared by the support of the police israeli police they are being accompanied by the police they are right and bus is still mixed cities by beliefs by police and they are not being arrested by the police and i want to give an example a few days ago on may 12th the israeli government declared this. city of lead or
12:19 am
logged in english as a civil emergency town it is the only town that is being declared legally as a civil emergency situation no other city is like that this means that they were able legally as well to employ impose curfew and learn the fact that despite the curfew and after 8 pm when it was imposed hundreds of groups of settlers were organizing arriving in busses police officers police israeli police officers were seen accompanying them are rising from outside into the city of log walking and arab neighborhoods and attacking arabs during the curfew it was a situation want to just want to ask you i mean it they have they have been also reports of arabs attacking jewish settlers as well as part of this otherwise it wouldn't be described as into communal violence which if it had happened it appears
12:20 am
to have been that at least what do you think needs to happen now to calm the situation down. no i think 1st of all that i have an issue with the description of intercommunal violence i think that it is more than that because this is part of systematic racial discrimination policies because otherwise if any of the politicians have been willing from daisy row not even day one day 0 to stop it they would not have would not have initiated that in the beginning and we cannot also talk about the cure in advance without with disconnecting them with with what's happened during the month of ramadan the attack on no worshipers in the 1st of actions of palestinians from their homes and is jerusalem and the violent police the by the violence from the police towards demonstrators palestinian demonstrators say i got a story interest again but what do you think the i mean if if things don't settle
12:21 am
down what's your view in the in the longer term within israel cat can these communities continue to live side by side or do you think that's because it's becoming impossible. i think that talking about cold a coexistence is not that issue anymore i think that for a long time it hasn't been the issue don't forget that in 2018 the israeli government and parliament passed the jewish nation state basic law which has the status of a constitution providing a constitutional legitimacy for ethnic jewish supremacy excluding palestinians from this constitution which basically means that it is allowed to discriminate against arabs based on the constitution what we are seeing now is a translation off a constitution off a long term a systematic racial discrimination against arabs and i think that the narrative of living together or coexistence is not there anymore we are talking about narrative
12:22 am
of sygate racial segregation of apartheid and even at least even more than that jewish white supremacy which has been given constitutionally just legitimacy in the jewish nation state basic law is leading to racism is leading to the support of the israeli police to the vote to the organized violence of the settlers so i was on to have thank you for talking to us when i was there thank you good evening. coming up on this news hour from london. from baghdad to london people around the world protest against israel bombing gaza. and coming up in sports rafael nadal reaches yet another final at the ramones to. protest against the bombardment of gaza have been taking place in cities across the
12:23 am
u.s. these are scenes from washington d.c. crowds of a show gathered in boston in dallas and are sundries earlier u.s. president joe biden spoke about the conflict to both israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas. u.s. president as we were in the briefing or john hendren standing by for us on that and tell us more about what we know about these calls. well to abbas the president expressed sympathy at the loss of life of palestinians he expressed concern about the number of children who had been killed in these confrontations and he said ultimately a 2 state solution is required in order to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict over time that has long been the us position but to netanyahu he added a couple of different points to both leaders he expressed concern and demanded the stop of hamas rockets coming out of gaza. netanyahu the president said that israel
12:24 am
had the right to defend itself and expressed a condemnation of hamas and the rockets that they had said of course the president is not talking to hamas that's because the united states does not recognize hamas as the leaders of gaza and of course in gaza they're not recognizing the palestinian authority as their leader so some of these messages tend to get lost but the president. offered his 2nd call to netanyahu this was his 1st call to mahmoud abbas which was of course a sign of respect and there had been some concern that at that level the president had not made that contact previously anthony blinken the secretary of state had done so when of course the u.s. defense secretary and the british minister of the i'm sorry the israeli minister of defense also had a conversation as well so while these talks are all ongoing the concern among many
12:25 am
people in the streets of the u.s. and elsewhere is that there's not enough pressure on the in from the united states on israel to stop this conflict and on that i mean how common is it. taking place across the u.s. . well that happens from time to time but this is extraordinary because you have a a much larger. muslim population in the us you've got population centers here as well as in miami detroit has another huge population center and i think there is increasing sympathy for the palestinian cause when you consider that there are now members of congress rashida to lead is the 1st palestinian at member american member of congress you also have. omar another muslim american of somali extraction representing you know many many other constituents is who what you end up having is
12:26 am
a much larger crowd here much more attention and then 20 years ago there would have been 2 parties largely here in the u.s. but really one policy toward the israeli palestinian conflict from the u.s. government now you're hearing dissenting voices speaking out on the floor of congress and of course now we've got thousands of people marching in the streets here heading to the capitol right now expressing their concern that in their opinion the u.s. is not doing enough to pressure israel on this conflict john hendren thank you very much indeed. people around the world have been rallying against israel's bombardment of gaza. this was the scene in baghdad earlier demonstrators gathered into his square to show support for palestinians in gaza some in the crowds were seen burning israeli flags. in the street is also gathered her solidarity protest in the cattery capital doha hundreds of protesters wave palestinian flags at the grand mosque in the center of the city
12:27 am
. and hundreds gathered in tunisia as capital despite a coronavirus knockdown that was imposed recently according on arab countries to reject normalizing ties with israel after 4 did so last year. in paris police used tear gas and water cannon against demonstrators who defied a protest planned to rally in support of palestinians and the city's police chief deployed moment 4000 officers on the streets and close shops where the march was meant to start the court had banned the protest over fears of violence demonstrations were allowed to go ahead in other cities including legal and must say. thousands of protesters also took to the streets in london after their as paul brennan was there i know there are says this march in london had hoped for between 10 and 20000 participants and it looks very much as though they've achieved that goal and this is one of more than 30 marches taking place up and down the u.k. today saturday the point of this is anger and solidarity and go about the pictures
12:28 am
that people have been seeing on the television screens for the past 2 weeks both as the tension ramped up in occupied east jerusalem but also as the conflict has erupted on the bottom of the gaza border now what are they asking for what are they demanding well that amount of action from the u.k. government that the u.k. government no longer deals trades and arms with israel. and that the essentially saying that everybody should take them to suit zach to what is happening in the israel they're very pragmatic the people here and i've got to say it's a key. such a population from very young to very old they'd know that 1 march alone is not going to solve the middle east conflict so they say that they can simply do nothing thanks have to express their solidarity with those people dying in gaza and in the west bank. there's much more still to come this hour. passed in aeons mark and not by the day they were displaced from their homes after

12:33 am
a rocket exploded in a suburb of the city 10 people have been killed in israel since monday including 2 children. earlier i spoke to yousif have ash the norwegian refugee council's advocacy officer in gaza he has a pregnant wife and 3 year old daughter i've had to move 4 times in the last days because of the airstrikes over who started on tuesday 6 pm when i was at my apartment in between my pregnant wife and daughter when the israeli air force. below my apartment by rocket or it was way out you have the. kind of warning that is going to be. followed by heavier strikes who are thinking about you just to escape from the house and that moment was a great moment to do it with my telephone daughter my pregnant wife what we're thinking we need to move out from that building so i went to my family building at
12:34 am

12:36 am
promised on and on by their leaders that they're going to be having freedom and a state instead of all these people are seeing now is if you can hear these tear gas bombs that are being fired by the israeli army we've even seen the israeli army if fire live ammunition we have 3 palestinians were now in a critical condition more than 50 palestinians were injured according to medical sources and the majority of these people were hit by live ammunition these people here would tell you that they are fed up of talks of having a state talks of having peace while instead what they see and on the ground is intensifying illegal israeli settlement building intensifying israeli power and this really attacks which often when the israelis say that they are investigating these allegations or these attacks 90 more than 90 part of 5 percent of these
12:37 am
attacks go on indicted so there is a sense here that these rabies are building in the occupied west bank having the upper hand and these people here are trying to fight that and the only way as many of them were telling us they don't touch armies don't have anything and one tossing in protester was even showing us how he was making a joke to buy adding petrol and a piece of cloth dripping glue and then they would fire that and a try and. towards the israeli soldiers it's kind of like small means they don't have much but they were telling us that if this is what we have to break palestine so this is what we are going to do. india has reported the wrong. as in corona virus infections in which 3 weeks but hospitals remain severely overrun more than 326000 new cases will hit on saturday
