including 58 children 10 people in israel have also died so far as the latest from gaza the israeli defense system and the rockets that have been fired from gaza into southern israel what was remarkable is that these rockets that were fired from gaza were short range over short range rockets not like the one the ones or those the were fired yesterday it seems that the response or the scale of the fire of the palestinian fighting groups is connected to the strength of the fire there's a daily fire tonight those that iranians had been targeting. him to field empty and evacuated military bases. and into training the fighting groups which the israelis claim. these bases have been used by the policy and fighting groups for intelligence. the shifa hospital in gaza said

forward with an excavator. the number of people under the rubble is still unknown as we heard from the families and the neighbors it's a large number. from a number of people buried under the rubble it's clear they didn't have enough warning to flee before the residential buildings were destroyed. israeli rockets and artillery fire in the gaza strip have been the heaviest since the bombardment began a week ago. $21.00 members of the same family were killed in one explosion what happened be targeted for hours continuous mom boardman launched on one specific neighborhood as a weapon and they were just 3 homely boots were bombed for continuous hours and they did not only bomb goes residential buildings and people innocent civilians they targeted the roads to this to those neighborhoods. a teacher and mother tell to syria their children are too scared to close their eyes at night when the

who live there a warning harry fawcett's report begins by showing the moment the car crash into the offices. after weeks of sight of tension and protest a new level of violence. 6 members of the israeli security forces injured the driver shot dead in his seat seconds later witnesses told us the man a palestinian from occupied east jerusalem shouted. as he approached on edge israeli forces driving our team and others from the immediate area. for palestinian families further down the street a facing imminent forced expulsion from their homes their fate driving many of the protests that preceded the descent into the air strikes rocket fire and calming all violence of the last week. was the focus of so much of the simmering tension that we saw here throughout the month of ramadan tension that sparked violence that has

spread far beyond here violence it is continuing a short drive from an israeli settler was filmed taking aim at palestinians to were later reported shot and injured these were the arrests that followed in a settler israel's prime minister calling the explosion of racial violence the 2nd front in this crisis the other front has so far not relented more heavy rocket barrages out of gaza in our school on a synagogue was struck israeli attacks on gaza are also unrelenting the toll in people killed and displaced in homes destroyed still mounting israel's security cabinet reportedly not discussing a rumored move toward cease fire negotiations the prime minister taking his argument on to u.s. television were trying to degrade hamas as terrorists and to degrade their will to do this again so i hope the want to klong but it's not immediate but there's also report that he gypped offered a truce hamas said yes you said now why. well that's not what i know and frankly

if hamas thought that it could just fire not rockets and then sit back and enjoy a community that's forced by night the checkpoints had been reinforced with heavy blocks even if a ceasefire is coming between israel and hamas the violence here in the occupied west bank and in israel for now has a momentum of its own very force it out just syria occupied east jerusalem the u.s. has told the un security council it's ready to offer support if israel and hamas seek a cease fire that says china accused the biden administration of blocking a joint resolution on the crisis christine salome has more on that from the united nations it was the security council's 3rd emergency meeting in a week but the 1st in public and it started with an appeal by the u.n. chief for the fighting so hot the senseless cycle of bloodshed terrible destruction must not immediately all parties must respect and wrestle with that in law

international human rights law or reflecting the urgency of the moment some council members had their foreign ministers participate that was also the case for the palestinians israel is the armed thieves who have entered our house and it is the right thing in our family. if the stories are homes or persons or people you know they should absolutely narration it gates after big and then. the security that it be nice us israel's u.n. ambassador accused hamas of carrying out indiscriminate attacks for political gain and putting its own civilians at risk israel sees everything villian death as a tragedy hamas sees every israeli civilian death as a victory israel uses its missiles to protect its children hamas

uses its children to protect its missiles even as the violence escalates the u.s. has blocked the security council from speaking with one voice emphasizing instead it's only a shin efforts the united states has made clear that we are prepared to lend our support in good offices should the parties see a ceasefire norway china and tunisia have been leading work to negotiate a joint statement of the council frustrated by the lack of security council action on an issue that's been on the council's agenda for more than 70 years china's foreign minister called out the united states as the only dissenting voice and promise to keep pushing until the council can speak as one christian salumi al-jazeera the united nations while u.s. president joe biden says his administration is working toward what he calls a sustained calm between israel and palestine his remarks were in

a video released to walk the white house has virtual eve celebration on sunday but prominent muslim advocacy groups in the u.s. boycotted the event. we're also believe palestinians and israelis equally deserve to live in safety and security and enjoy equal measure of freedom prosperity and democracy and my administration is going to continue engaging powers tinnies israelis and other regional partners to work toward sustained calm while the muslim advocacy group council on american islamic relations tweeted only add that we cannot in good conscience celebrate ied with the biden administration while it literally aids a bad end justifies the israeli apartheid governments in this going it bombing of innocent men women and children in gaza let's speak to some nearby dalai about this he's a palestinian journalist and contributor to a 97 to magazine his vice kite from ohio in the u.s. some a very good to have you with us on al-jazeera let me ask you 1st reaction to what

we just heard there from president biden it is a message it's more of the same folly unfortunately president biden is following in the footsteps of number 2 u.s. president since 1048 basically abetting israeli crimes on a scale that is unprecedented what we see here is president biden speaking up 6 days after the israelis began an all out onslaught on the innocent civilian population of gaza months after they began escalating the ethnic cleansing of palestinians from the shuttle neighborhood in jerusalem and a full 72 years since the united states has been supporting israel's occupation of palestinian lands both within the israel proper and within the areas in the west bank and gaza that were occupied in 1900. you say that and i agree with you that the discourse we're hearing from washington has been the same for some

time now but we are somewhere hearing starting to hear. different voices especially within the republican party the more progressive voices expressing openly expressing support now for the palestinian cause how hopeful does that make you that they could be perhaps some movement in some shift from the u.s. administration. i think what matters here is what the palestinians of gaza of jerusalem and of israel proper within what we call the 1948 areas think and what they think is the united states needs to not only speak out on the floors of the congress but and immediately all a to israel nothing short of that will suffice the reason why we are calling for the is because the weapons that are being dropped on the innocent civilians of gaza now and that are being aimed directly at the innocent civilians throughout historic palestine or american made now for the united states to concede that point and to

confront the very real. reality that it is american made weapons that are causing this carnage would be for it to face its own history the fire bombing of tokyo which killed 100000 people over the course of 24 hours and bombs were dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki we cannot turn to america for moral clarity on these issues and as you see now in gaza and in the west bank and in jerusalem palestinians have now taken matters into their own hands as they should and when and when palestinians take matters into their own hands i mean. there is spin in action of course on on on the international community sage even at the united nations early on sunday no no comments no unity no statement from the united nations how do palestinians feel about that and you know when you talk about them taking action what do you think this action is going to achieve concretely yes

we've seen protests in support of palestinians in gaza and elsewhere protest against israeli occupation but what do you think that's going to achieve realistically when the israeli supporters the biggest supporters of israel the u.s. namely still are siding with them. you know i am the child of palestinian refugees one of whom has already passed away without ever being able to see his native land again and i can tell you now as a palestinian in the diaspora that what matters to me most is not what i think sitting here in ohio but what palestinians in the occupied lands of historic palestine think and what they think and what they have been saying for more than a decade now is that the international community needs to hit the streets as we did here in america for the black lives matter protests and the governments of the world need to sanction israel as part of the b.d.s. movement nothing short of that will force a change in the u.s. policy toward our people now when it comes to united nations i was in gaza for the

2014 war and i visited the un school in jabalya that had been hit by a drone strike that killed 5 innocent people i saw as the israelis with complete complete complicity work bombing un schools left and right and now refugee camps without any criticism from the international community if the u.n. were to stand up to this they should stand up to it because it is directly affecting them now the united nations of course the security council has passed more than 130 resolutions over the course of time since 1967. what they can do now is they can take to task the united states for its own action on this issue and begin to change not only what is happening in palestine but in fact the international order because the u.s. has proven itself to be incapable of leading with moral clarity on that

international stage some neighbors out thank you so very much for taking the time to speak to us about this issue thank you for your time some a bit palestinian journalist joining us and from ohio in the u.s. . still ahead on al-jazeera a report from one of the british towns way over 900 vaccinations have been scaled down because if it is over the very. from indiana and tired frightened and unsure about their future we follow the plight of migrants discovered crossing the u.s. . it's time for the perfect gentleman to weather sponsored plan qatar airways well spring rains the main system is obvious to running from southern china up towards japan it waves north and south as you well know and it causes flooding as

he's meant to do that's the case i think where the orange tops are pretty visible and the specially china to the north of it's not quite and down it's quite hot and settled in beijing at 31 degrees the rain on tuesday leaves most of japan behind but it still hangs around in southern china is probably on its way back north again so humid occasionally wet day in hong kong for example and dramatic weather continues in india is certainly rain being strong enough from this tropical cyclone or if you like its profit name a very severe cyclonic storm it could be become extremely severe in the next few hours is expected to make landfall in good rat probably join the early hours of choose the maybe around the back door will start to affect that state well before that and of course this represents the rain but the other risks are the waves 9 me to being generated in the moment and the storm surge that comes with a good drought is fairly low so flooding and wind damage both prospects.

spoke to paul qatar airways. i'm harry davies and they came billy and western australia at rented in this community is a teaming up with scientists to create a new approach to marine conservation the 1st thing you learn before even but just real stuff on the road with dogs or golf all the old grandfather. i'm a friend your new reporting from brazil you if you're going to try to protect him by the versity plough defending themselves against illegal invaders try it on al-jazeera. the world. the end.

a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes on gaza in the last few hours alison factions have also fired a garage of rockets towards the israeli city of ashkelon at least 197 palestinians including children have been killed since the conflict escalated a week ago 10 people in israel have also died israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the offensive will continue with full force the u.n. security council met to discuss the escalating conflict on sunday but was unable even to agree on a joint statement china accuses a biden administration of blocking it with the u.s. being israel's most powerful ally. he and other world news votes are being counted in chile following a national poll to elect 155 delegates to rewrite the country's dictatorship era casa tuition half the seats are reserved for women and 17 for indigenous people many say a new constitution will address social inequality issues that led to

a violent protest nearly 2 years ago it's also seen as a test of support for the government ahead of presidential election in november a latin america and human has more from santiago. i'm at a polling station right now where they are counting still the votes only about 1.5 percent have been tallied so far nationwide so we really don't have an indication of the results but it's nuking like the more conservative candidates are going to have a much higher representation than one would have expected had there been a higher turnout especially of young people across the country we saw that it was a much lower turnout some people say it was because they've lost confidence in the institutions in general intellectual processes but that doesn't quite explain why then they came out in such large numbers last october to vote in favor of a new constitution so that's there's going to be a lot of soul searching about that and we've seen a lot of long faces as well here in this area where one of the warst right wing

a rather a very new right wing political party is actually winning one of the by the largest majority one of the seats once the 155 delegates are chosen and have the ability to write the constitution if more than a 3rd of them are those who oppose structural reforms that many people had been demanding and that would mean that if the they had the new constitution will basically tweak the one that chile has right now christina's to find tenses and analysts and journalists who covers chile she explains why voter turnout is expected to be low. seen too caught up wasn't kelly vote in 2012 we have seen low turnout you know lections in the school so with not only we were like teen the members of the assembly but also we were elected in may years oh a few years and also governor so there were many votes that people had to do and

and there's a lot of just crazy over that all these people and class people it was very confusing for people as well that was a long process there were many candidates so that's why people were not encouraging not to go into the polls and vote so that could explain well i'm not so different that meek was brought up how i am number of cases right now so that people were wary about it but they it was expected about 30 percent is that the vote was just normal for an election and may go in chinglish the government is expected to urge of the appendix to be elected in some member of the assembly that would be a good number for them in it's expected as well the big they do well because they were very organized they went in one laced. over quietly in the thick of the wedding one little while they will see what this guy did in different ways. it is

a death that's what it is a suspect say and i don't know if that could just feel the expectation of people who are protesting to spend 18. more than a 1000 people have died from corona virus in brazil in the past a half the number recorded a day earlier and the countries also seen a drop in new cases from 67000 on saturday to iran 41000 this comes as brazil's slow vaccine rollout continues and some states begin easing restrictions health experts are warning the moves are premature overall brazil has recorded more than 15000000 cases in more than 435000 deaths britain's government says it's confident existing over 1000 vaccines will protect against some more transmissible very interesting reading across the country this stranger is detected in india has now become the most dominant part in parcel of the u.k.

in particular bolton and blackburn in the north west of england where cases have more than doubled in a week as join a whole reports it's especially concerning as more restrictions us that to be eased on monday. ahead of the next stage of england's exit from lock down long queues at a pop up vaccine center in the northwest town of bolton a scaled up vaccination campaign has seen jabs dispensed to 600 people and hour over the weekend there are concerns that the resumption of indoor gatherings from monday will lead to a surgeon infections led by a new variant 1st discovered in india and if that would get back today if. it is you know you don't want me in the very end is that a worry for you it is a little bit about money than anything i think it's good to get as many people vaccinated possible but you have to be getting your yeah right yeah yeah i'm going to say yes because he has the so-called indian variant is already the dominant

strain in bolton with clusters elsewhere in the northwest the midlands and also parts of london the challenge is to contain it i was hoping for this level of response i'll be honest i was quite emotional this morning when i saw the queues and all day long to see him in the queues or to stop to give and take and you know i think the variance from india is a concern for people and it probably has pushed more people to see to get the vaccine as well as speeding up the vaccine delivery there's door to door testing going on the army is on standby to help with logistics in affected areas the real concern of course is that if these measures fail to contain the new variant that's thought to be up to 50 percent more contagious if it's allowed to spread well that could seriously jeopardize hopes of a return to normal life. and high with on the. test. the government believes there isn't sufficient evidence of risk yet to require
