latest now from gaza the israeli defense system intercepted 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 of a short range rockets not like the one the one or both 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 really fire tonight that iranians have been targeting opened empty feeling empty and evacuated military bases. training the fighting groups which the israelis claim. these bases have been used by the palestinian fighting groups for intelligence. the sheaffer hospital in gaza said that only one palestinian. hospital lightly injured

didn't survive. it's delicate work for rescue teams to help with pulling survivors out with their hands ensuring there are no people alive before they inch 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 that began a week ago. $21.00 members of the same family were killed in one explosion what happened be targeted what hours continuous mom boardman launched on one specific neighborhood as a as happened and i witnessed 3 whole neighborhoods where bombs were 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 just sirrah their children are too scared to close their eyes at night when the bombing is at its heaviest. they're not coping actually they are terrified on the time they're just listening carefully if it's going to be any warning. they just afraid to close their eyes that the night they don't want to sleep i struggle every single night to put them in their beds they don't want to go to sleep because they know once they close their eyes something bad was. during the bombing many families being forced to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones from the snake. handlers and the father devastated by the loss of this child who never got a chance to grow up. you're a person ali al jazeera. men or 6 israeli police officers have been injured in

a car running in occupied east jerusalem the attack happened in shutter ah that's the neighborhood where israeli settlers are trying to forcibly expel 4 palestinian families who live there and a warning ari force its report begins by showing the moment a car crashed 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 comical 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 which film 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 in 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 long but it's not immediate but there's also

report any 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 nightfall it shakes you are the checkpoint had been reinforced with heavy blocks even if a cease fire 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 occupied east jerusalem well the u.s. has told the u.n. security council it's ready to offer support of israel and hamas seek a cease fire that's as china accuse the biden administration a blocking a joint resolution on the crisis christensen he has more now 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 especially with the 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 thieves who has been into our house and it is the right thing in our family it big destroys our homes or present old people. innovation after. the gates after the big and then. the security that would 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 minutes hours 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 and then offices should the parties see a cease fire 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 for us president joe biden says his administration is

working towards what he called a sustained calm between israel and palestine his remarks when a video released tomorrow the white house is virtually in 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 engage powers to needs israelis and other regional partners to work toward sustained calm while the muslim advocacy group the council on american islamic relations tweeted earlier that we cannot in good conscience celebrate aid with the biden administration while it literally aids abets and justifies the israeli apartheid government's indiscriminate bombing of innocent men women and children in gaza but somehow but always a palestinian journalist he says the u.s. must stop providing israel with weapons and introduce sanctions. 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 that the united states needs to not only speak out on the floors of the congress but and immediately all aid to israel nothing short of that will suffice the reason why we are calling for that 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 are 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 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 the palestinians have now taken matters into their own hands as they should 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 soon 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 and the u.s. policy toward our people. time for a short break here on out as iraq when we come back rebel fighters are forced to flee myanmar's minda region leaving by men and children. tired frightened and unsure about their future we follow the plight of migrants discovered crossing the u.s. southern border mornin stay with us. it's

restaurants of the listening post covers the way the news is covered on a jersey it on. welcome back to our top stories here at this hour israel has launched a new wave of their strikes on gaza in the last few hours palestinian factions of also fired a barrage of rockets towards the israeli city of ashkelon. at least 197 palestinians including 58 children have been killed since the conflict escalated a week ago 10 people have died in israel israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the offensive will continue with full force. and the u.n. security council met to discuss the escalating conflict between israel and

palestine but was unable even to agree on a joint statement china accuses the administration of blocking it with the u.s. being israel's most powerful ally. now only results are coming in from chile after a national poll to elect delegates to rewrite its dictatorship era constitution with 40 percent of the votes counted it looks like the governing center right coalition could struggle to get enough votes to block radical changes to the charter it's hoped a new constitution will address social inequality issues that led to violent protests nearly 2 years ago a latin america editor to see a new man has more from the capital santiago. a lot of 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 looking 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 in electoral 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 right wing at a rather a very new right wing political party is actually winning one of the by the largest majority in 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 of the one that chile has right now hong kong pro-democracy activist and media tycoon jimmy lies company has suspended trading comes 2 days

after the hong kong government froze lies assets and shares the news media publications on the beijing sweeping national security law it's the 1st time shares of a list of companies large stakeholder have been frozen using the new law or taiwan's warning of an increase in business risks in hong kong so let's bring in stephen vines he's a writer broadcaster an author of defying the dragon hong kong on the world's largest dictatorship he joins us via skype from hong kong stephen good to have you with us so this is the 1st time a listed company has been forced off the stock exchange due to the national security law how significant is this and why now. well i think it's immensely significant evenin though we knew that the national security law had these enormous powers to do more or less anything that the authorities want to do it was commonly assumed that as far as the commercial sector was. they wouldn't be applied to

interfere with business so to speak now we know that isn't true and we also know that once it's happened once the likely a lot of it happening again is quite considerable and for a place like hong kong is an international business and the idea that your assets suddenly and without. any detail research and be frozen is sending a big chill down the spines of people who are doing business here and that's that's an important point to make stephen because i guess as you say many business owners thought the security law wouldn't affect them in this way how worried is the broader business community in hong kong and this is bound to also rattle investors and the markets as well. i think it will i mean some people say and some people are already saying oh well jimmy lie is a well known to. the chinese authorities disliking intensely you know as long as you keep your nose clean you really don't need to worry about this but if they

think about this for just one second they'll realize that can't possibly be true because one of china's largest businesses. which is run by jack bauer who is a communist party member has been encountering no problems of this magnitude but of very considerable magnitude and so even if you close the communist party and you're running a very big business the chances of the of thought is intervening and preventing that business from operating in a normal way of very considerable and what we've seen in hong kong is a lot of people are leaving we saw a survey just last week from the american chamber of commerce saying that 40 percent of their membership who answered this response to this survey were either contemplating leaving or making preparations to leap i think that this will be another nail in the coffin of hong kong's reputation as

a business and yet that's that's very important because as you say we're already seeing big companies including media companies talk about plans to leave hong kong presumably stephen any company that has seemed to support the pro-democracy movement could be in the crosshairs of the chinese government as well. well who knows whether it's just them i mean you look at hong kong's one of hong kong's biggest companies which is swallow this if it which operates cathay pacific on calls back area. that company is certainly not part of the political opposition here yet they have been the people who run that company being called out to beijing to explain because it's. the pilots and other members of this have been sympathetic to the protest movement and they've had to do all manner of things to assure the or it is that they are going to it here to not only the national security law but become active supporters of the national take your title that kind

of pledges of political loyalty were never required in the us stephen just a final thought you guys were just a bit push for time i mean this is already having an impact outside of hong kong taiwan for instance is warning that businesses are now facing increasing risks in hong kong do you think that beijing even cares about any collateral damage from the security law. that's an extremely interesting question if you do us that just as recently as a couple of years ago i would have said yes they care very much they want to preserve as an international business editor but there's a mood of defiance and i say arrogance in beijing now where they're saying these people don't want to do business and if i think you know try their luck somewhere else with the biggest country in the world we have the biggest potential market in the world if they want to join us and take advantage of it got to do it turn their

rules stephen vines really good to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera thank you steve. now rebel group fighting men mas military is being forced to retreat from the northwestern town of mynd that fighting in the town near the indian border has been some of the bloodiest since febreze coup with reports of security forces using civilians as human shields. well this video believed to be from him that has been widely shared on social media a member of the rebel group says the town is now largely under military control and only woman in children remain a local monitoring group says almost 800 people have been killed in myanmar since the coup well earlier we spoke to a protester who's been we're not naming him for security reasons almost all. come to this field counter that they're. hiding the artists are.

away from the tar highly. most of the people most of the people don't want to dictatorship the hate the soldiers i want to leave for the international community help the every way but they could do for good democracy of our people india's health ministry is reporting 4106 more deaths and more than 281000 coronavirus cases over the past 24 hours while it's the 1st time daily cases below 300000 able to any 1st health experts and government critics say there's significant under-reporting they say testing is limited in rural areas especially in the northern states of pradesh and bihari and that's where hundreds of bodies have been found floating on the ganges river or buried along its banks it's led to police patrols and families are being offered money for cremations or burials. out of top religious in india has resigned from
