white but for the fans back home it's more than just a football club anyone who says policies should be left out of football you know doesn't know about football is new on politics and. the passion and the politics of liverpool f.c. the defined giant. part of the fans who make football series on al-jazeera. families in gaza wake up to another burst of israeli air strikes and water and fuel supplies and are running low. on canal santamaria here in doha with the world news from al-jazeera and my administration is going to continue powers to the israelis and other regional partners. the us president joe biden faces growing pressure to do more to end the

attacks also in the news more signs of frustration in india over prime minister narendra modi's handling of the pandemic and left wing parties in chile when a majority in a vote to rewrite the dictatorship era constitution. well if you want to begin of course with the israeli bombardment of gaza now into its 2nd week and despite days of international condemnation calls for a cease fire have had no impact on the ground because a live shot of gaza here looking quiet in this particular shot but we've been seeing air strikes hitting the palestinian enclave in just the past few hours with a renewed intensity israel says it is targeting tunnels military facilities and residences used by palestinian factions the death toll it is now at $197.00 palestinians killed including $58.00 children. and now live pictures from the

israel gaza border you see the israeli troops still massed along the border firing artillery literally just before we came to that shot into gaza prime minister netanyahu says the strikes will continue at full force this is how mass launches more rockets into israel as well heading towards ashkelon and as well 10 people in israel killed by hamas strikes in the past week. so we have heard from the prime minister of the palestinian authority mohamad chatah he spoke a little while ago in ramallah fang to the nations have spoken out over the killings in gaza but said there needs to be some actual action let me i would care for your daughter by a not a listing counter what. rankly is speaking it's not enough. to have declarations of denunciations what has been done is the united nations must. be describes only.

actions as illegal. illegitimate policy in. banishment must be there again. friendly must be. as well as presentation. of injecting. the need to stop their trade relations with israel and also the. united states from europe should. as well respects the human rights. families who have been killed them houses have been demolished and destroyed. graves and the shelling has distributed. all over the plays streets have been destroyed you know that this is of kids of children

and substance situation those children is really in a bad situation far. blows children learn those children who lost their lives before even practicing the life. crimes to be punished by the international low price. well organized. its national while you can call it has to take action yet every day means that the license for killing has been renewed for israel this must stop immediately. with nader abraham now in ramallah in the occupied west bank where the prime minister was

speaking it i guess since doing what he can be a palestinian authority and its limited abilities to affect what's happening in gaza. the palestinian authority has been saying that it is invested in a diplomatic approach to deescalate the situation that's why they've been calling on the arab league they are going to zation of islamic cooperation as well as the united nations security council to convene to try to push israel to end its aggression according to many palestinian officials this is the term they're they're using but when we talked about stimulus in the street in protests that are telling us that they are disappointed by their leaders they feel that they are taking matters their own in their own hands because they feel that there's also a gap between them and the d.j.'s and to talk more about this i'm joined here by a senior federal official mr somebody cited them he's a member of the central committee of fatah and dr somebody i'm sure you've been

hearing about the streets disappointment what do you say to the people i would say to the people people under fire in gaza deserve our unity and the related voice in attempting to stop the escalation of hostilities in gaza the shells that are falling onto the heads and hearts of palestinians in gaza do not differentiate between fatah and hamas do not differentiate between any group so what needs to be heard now is the voice of people it's the nuance and that voice ought to be united and focusing on the end of hostilities is that. it's back to the will and wishes of the people of palestine and the will and the wish of the international community and what needs to be done now is to put more pressure and we need to rally people in the west bank so to go out and into the streets same is the case in the 1948 areas in palestine historic palestine and beyond so that the

word applaud to say enough is enough and you're an official don't you think the palestinian authority can do more acutely no matter what we do it's not. not enough because these cain office that it is the amount of bombing and the fear of that is imposed on the palestinian people is quite large now the failure of the international community to live up to even its promises you know there's been a quarter recent call from president biden to present our best and which he had promised to exert pressure and call upon israel to understood it is what really pain you know with spain into one's heart is the fact that there is a big fear that there is a view ality of positions that we hear what we are told what we would like to hear rather and the americans tell the israelis what they would like to hear and that's the duality of position that's quite harmful what needs to be done is what i'm going to cut say enough is enough and be more formidable with the message of of the

need for the end of us that it is because the on going bombing in gaza if you asked the president of gaza they would say what that means to be done is to drop a nuclear bomb into gaza the amount of attacks the scale of of hostilities the amount of ammunition that's been deposed in gaza is beyond belief beyond imagination you are harming the people you are harming women and children and the amount of people killed if you look at the numbers you will see how many women and children being killed so it's not about how mass it's about infrastructure it's not about the resistance as it were it is about the people that you are damaging and by that you are damaging the future of course existence you have damaging the future of the 2 state solution and if anything you're implying the more and more he threw it into the hearts and minds of palestinians who are now coming out and saying you know enough to us that it is but imagine what it's not the end of hostilities that is desired of the end of conflict of laws that needs to be implemented and the end

off of the existing situation whereby israel is well above the international will and enjoys a supremacy that no country no other country enjoys beyond. the international law beyond u.n. resolutions and beyond humanity speaking of u.n. resolutions there was a session by the united nations security council on sunday what did you think of the statements that what that at that at that meeting statements are great and we welcome any statement of support but palestinians are appreciative of words but they need deeds and absolutely that's the message that comes out of the hearts of many palestinians enough is enough you can express sympathy you can go out to the streets you can protest the occupation alone forces actions in gaza and beyond but what's needed is now actions we need to end the occupation that's the root cause of the matter you cannot say to a person that you can go empty handed that you will go unpunished unpunished and

you can come and claim that the raped is complaining it doesn't work this way israel is patient and the problem gratian of the existing occupation is the root cause of the problem it's not the resistance of the palestinians it is not the opposing voice of the palestinians it is the existence of the wish of the international community to cover up for israel's actions and allow israel to go beyond the will of the international community and deal with a sort of double standards attitude and approach to matters of the family how are you speaking to them. what are they doing. you could imagine under bombardment what they would be doing is no bunkers whatsoever there's no shelters whatsoever you talk to them and you have mixed feelings as an overseer you want to do more and as a family member you certainly want to do more i was in gaza 3 weeks ago maybe even earlier than that and i know quite well how things feel and how gaza is

infrastructure facilities and services where basic so now we're going to the dark ages we need to rebuild this but most importantly is to keep up history and i people to go forward with a mission of hope and. basically implant the desire to say enough talk of patient but at the same time build palestine for the better future of our kids and children we have a hopeful nation we never give up and we will tonight we'll continue with this attitude of positiveness towards the future and you spoke about children in the use of palestine and these people we've been speaking to them they were so eager to have felt to me and actions that were designed to happen. and of this month don't you think it's time to have fasting in elections that could bring more of the youth into the leadership indeed and the delay in elections is now evident that israel was not to allow any elections whatsoever we have seen the actions of israel visit

small demonstrations so imagine if you come to elections but that should not be in any way an act of endurance it should be an act of encouragement we should come out of this experience united 1st we should get our house in order and we should resume efforts to hold elections and be more forthcoming regarding both of jerusalem in terms of holding the elections in jerusalem now the international community should be more convinced that we palestinians deserve elections and elections ought to be held under the auspices of the un and the support of you understood your shins namely meaning that jerusalem is a. occupy territory and we have that i exercise in our democracy that so we should go for elections indeed and we should allow more you was into the palestinian political scene and should be allowing the palestinians to enjoy democracy applause given the fact the palestinian political system is in desperate need for revamping and revamping will only come through the ballot box thank you so much to have

a site on me he is official and member of the central committee of fatah now on tuesday we are expecting a general strike palestinians have been calling on the people to be going and participating in protest against the israeli occupation he had in the occupied west bank responding to calls by palestinians who live in israel. for him in the occupied west bank ramallah thank you for that and your guest as well. i represented a friend they had a standing health minister speaking i want to listen risk you. assistance because gaza strip leaves a lot of assistance also in the field of interest at the we need to say that. the electricity companies. is not. ready is not a toll able to reach the air is needed and.

the damage has been there in so many places in the gaza strip and. we need not the citizens to be. killed or we need not our staff to be killed so we have to work hard. teams everywhere trying as much as they can to help the people needed and to. offer moltisanti to the citizens of houses in hospitals and everywhere we reach a point that we can not repair because our stocks are almost empty we need a lot of things and we urge everyone. those who have some power to allow the 1st company to. get the

necessary tools for mental illness because this is conditional circumstances we suffer a lot like big shoulders of cash so. of course our company and through some from the energy of thought say trying to sustain and maintain the plant. we went to get some petrol for the station for the generation to work for 2 or 3 days maximum these amounts of petrol not enough i'm told because. both of these amount of pencils. the local markets probably if we have transportation probably if we have paved roads the mission would be aisy but because of the current aggression against gaza strip

and the difficulty to move here and that made it very difficult for us to get was we need that we need to continue the work of the generations full few days maximum and we warn everyone that we might not be able to buy. one to of petrol you have to know that everyone has to go that one generation might use 150 to 160000 liters of water to get 20 or 25 megawatts so this is not enough we cannot have enough petrol and we cannot be up to the level of consumption of the people and the hospitals and we wish everyone we wish that that's

a community we wish all the parties to respond positively we also want to thank those who are trying to help and to stop this aggression against the strip this is the statement of the electricity company and wish everyone will positively respond. do you mean did the racial distribution. there is a threat that these companies might start because government as well and close them is closed and it's expected that flow is expected to come to an end this evening there is a grant from qatar and we are now trying to good tell the local market to get a little as we can from pencil there is enough for one to hold 3 days maximum

that's why we need solutions to be there with a few coming days thank you. thank you very much appreciate it thank you very much . correction to what i said earlier that he's actually from the gaza power plant there and giving you something we need to remember as well where we obviously focus on injuries and deaths a lot the level of destruction to infrastructure is huge as well and this is what they're talking about shortages of fuel and water fuel to run generators as well and how even if they could get things in it's difficult with the amount of infrastructure and roading that has been destroyed as well so that's just something to keep in mind as well that it is not just the human toll there is a lot of destruction to the infrastructure there which is affecting those who still live in gaza. well let's look back on sunday now which was actually the deadliest day of israeli air raids since the campaign began a sharp rise in the number of palestinians killed and rescue teams still working

around the clock to help the survivors this report is from laura burton manley. calling for survivors in a room flattened by rocket fire. and a sign of life a man calls back. to this residential building was struck by israeli rockets in gaza city. team talk to him and we'll get him out in a minute we hope that his sister is alive as well and we can get her out to others didn't survive. it's delicate work for rescue teams and. pulling survivors out with their hands ensuring there are no people alive the 4 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 the bombardment began a week ago. $21.00 members of the same family were killed in one explosion what happened be targeted hours continuous mom boardman launched on one specific neighborhood as it 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 so this neighborhood. a teacher and mother tell just sara that her children are too scared to close their eyes at night when the bombing is at its heaviest. they're not coping absolutely they are terrified all 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 it is. 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 this nuke. the father devastated by the loss of this child who never got a chance to grow up. there are. let's hear from u.s. president joe biden now who says his administration is working towards a sustained calm that's his words between israel and palestine though he stopped short of calling for an immediate cease fire despite the demands from $28.00 senators in his own democratic party were also believe palestinians and israelis equally deserve to live in safety and security and enjoy equal measure freedom prosperity and democracy and my administration is going to continue engage powers

to news israelis and other regional partners to work toward sustained calm let's move on to other news in the former south african president jacob zuma is back in court on trial of the corruption charges is accused of racketeering fraud and money laundering all related to a $2000000000.00 deal with french arms manufacturer pale in the late 1990 s. this is when zuma was a senior government figure that has always also been charged zuma and the company both deny any wrongdoing found minimal or. expect to take us through this one corruption that goes back or alleged corruption i should say that goes back more than 2 decades so this is a long time coming what's expected. for many hoping that this child would get under way at least properly today on day 1 may be disappointed. for president jacob zuma has arrived in court and based on normal procedure he would be expected to clearly based on those 16 charges he's facing

from corruption to record cheering and ford but there is a hurdle in the way in that he's a legal team withdrew a month ago and many now say that this could be yet another delay tactic we have heard from jacob zuma previously that he's waiting for his day in court he is ready he wants to clear his name but he's also try to prevent that day in court many a time launching a number of appeals trying to clear his name in that way that hasn't worked he's in court but now his lawyer who wants to is most likely going to be called in to explain why that happened we do know that the president lost the supreme court appeal to make sure that the state continues paying the legal costs that are going to happen any further and solace cash strapped many think that this is the reason his legal team has withdrawn but they've also potentially cited ethical reasons

it's not entirely clear we're likely to hear more about that in court and one of the other issues as well is that we might see a an application for the recruits all of the lead prosecutor in this case so a number of hurdles ahead of the proper start of this case period expecting to hear testimony from a member of parliament patricia to lowell who back in the ninety's or the early 2000 as was the one who essentially blew the whistle on alleged corruption in this particular arms deal but we'll wait to see what happens during the course of the day it's likely that this matter may be perspire and. thank you for now. from. south africa. on to corunna news in prime minister narendra modi is being accused of cracking down on criticism of the dozens of people were arrested in the capital they put up posters asking why vaccines were sent abroad or leave this year instead of using them in india police say they were

hours and this is in line with the trend you see with the virus that is the death spike follows the spike in cases now what we are also learning is a huge focus being given to rural india and the situation there so one of india's poorest states is now starting of it announced that it is going to be wrapping up testing and trying to getting a better sense of how many cases they really are the more the government has also announced that there will be a 3 tier medical system in the local villages and towns so really getting primary health care centers and schools to start helping with isolating and treating milder covert cases. the number of new delhi coronavirus infections in thailand has reached a record high around 9600 cases reported on monday 2 thirds of them among prison inmates thailand's battling a 3rd wave of infections it has reported 110000 all told on the number of deaths has risen to more than 600. now rebel group fighting me and miles military has

think candidates have won a majority in a historic election for the delegates who will rewrite chillies constitution president sebastian pinera says it shows his government and political parties are out of touch with citizens alas in america as in the scene human reports from santiago if they even get a feeling of having to do an election like no one there chile has seen marked by hope and they need new dose of uncertainty. chileans voted overwhelmingly for a left wing delegates to write the new constitution dealing a bitter blow to the governing conservative coalition that had bet on obtaining enough seats in the upcoming convention to block radical changes. our citizens have sent a strong and clear message to the government and all the traditional political blogs we are not adequately tuning in to our people's demands and aspirations we must hear this message of humility. but it's not just conservatives who are licking

their wounds after an election that has dramatically changed chile's political map the biggest winners have been the independent candidates and the biggest loser is the mainstream center to center left the left wing political parties have also done very well including the clumsiness and that could give their candidates for the upcoming presidential elections later this year an unexpected boost. some of the results are demonstrating for those searching for a true transformation of this country of time a tremendous triumph this consolidates not only a new democratic constitution but also the possibility of a new popular democratic government not even the right wing voters like maria luisa were horrified but far more that would come but this country is going downhill if we don't find another general pinochet i swear this won't work i'm a man of. others

a bitter over the voter turnout especially among young people which was much lower than expected i mean. they just don't believe that anything will change we fought for this institutional change but too many people don't believe it can happen and the hard work begins now to draft a constitution over the next 9 to 12 months that can build consensus instead of even deeper divisions you see in human al-jazeera santiago. half past the hour on al-jazeera these are the headlines israel continuing its bombing raids across the gaza strip despite international calls for calm and source says it has been targeting tunnels military facilities and residences used by palestinian factions the death toll 197 palestinians including 58 children have been killed in the past 2 weeks old.
