palestinians and that includes 58 children have been killed. let's look at israel the border close to gaza and you see the israeli troops and military hardware amassed along the border firing artillery into gaza we've been seeing that all morning prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said the strikes artillery and air strikes will continue at full force as a mass is launched more rockets into israel towards ashkelon. 10 people in israel have been killed by hamas strikes over the past week. so let's hear from the prime minister of the palestinian authority how much time he spoke last in ramallah his fatah party called for a general strike across the occupied west bank on tuesday he also thanked members of the international community for condemning the killings in gaza but said more must be done. behalf. must.

be describes only. actions as a legal. illegitimate again this. must be there again this. was. the last of the. presentation. of objective. and it's really an strikes have severely damaged much of gaza's infrastructure officials with the electricity company that a major transmission line is down there calling for urgent help to get more fuel supplies into the area. there is the threat that these companies might stop because crossing is closed and petrels expected to come to an end this evening there is a graph from catherine and we're now trying to contain the local market to conserve as much petrol as possible there's enough for one to 3 days maximum that's what we

need solutions within the next few days. let's bring it all together with neda abraham in ramallah in the occupied west bank neda we've been watching the black smoke over gaza the airstrikes happening this morning can you bring us the detail on what has actually been hit today. palestinians in the gaza strip report that they've already at that they also had a tough night in the gaza strip with the continued airstrikes in the besieged gaza strip and here the feeling in the occupied west bank is that they want to take to the streets not only because they feel bad about what's going on in the gaza strip many have told us that they see scenes of death and bombardment and they're really really hurt by it and that's why they want to take to the streets but also because they feel that their lives under the continued. only has only been getting worse over the years so this is something that's bringing palestinians to the streets and

this is why we've seen many palestinians calling for a strike on tuesday a general strike to. send a message to the international community that they are by their people in the gaza strip but also to shed some light on their lives under these radio patients. more than about what we heard from the prime minister the palestinian authority among his calls was for that general strike. he also called the international community to stop using the language of condemnation and his speech was echoed in the street the sentiment here is that the international community keeps condemning both sides without paying attention that. the street do not have an army cannot defend themselves so they want to see more of the international community and they've been saying palestinians here that the united nations security council has had numerous resolutions talking about the palestinians and how their lives could

be. improved also there is the latest. at the u.n. talked about. all of these really settlements in the occupied west bank and that hasn't been implemented also we've been seeing more expansion of israeli settlements on the ground more attacks by israeli settlers so palestinians will tell you that their lives are only getting worse under the israeli occupation and they want to see a reaction from the international community and they want to participate in the strike it was 1st called for by palestinians living in israel but we've seen here for. the palestinian government to ask its employees to participate in the protests to morrow and to have a general strike up already seen many palestinians posting on social media saying that they are participating in the general strike to morrow and we've seen people also telling palestinians living in israel who might not have a legal basis to try because they live in israel to try and take a sick day or

a sick leave to be able to participate in these protests and the general strike thank you need abraham reporting from ramallah on the occupied west bank. let's return to gaza itself and. who is the editor of gaza writes back a collection of short stories of life in gaza i mean how is your life in gaza right now how was the last night. very much. it's been held. every day we every night we said this is the worst part of our life and then never wrong by bombarding more by destroying more by by killing a lot like the 10th circle of hell that bunky didn't reach to because it's. all been hell on the head of al qaeda and the kids would be.

way up in the middle of the night taking and screaming and shaking and crying. because of the hundreds and hundreds of israeli missiles that fall on the head of palestinian in utter destruction. total response by israel and backed by america and europe tell me about the daytime hours our i mean the fact that we are talking to you now you've got electricity and you've got an internet connection that's quite something tell me about the rest of your day time i've actually been able to go head down we really pretty there was a black out and we are working on a bad battery right now because. i keep mentioning the 30 or and that influence the connection it rapidly and we lose it most most of the time i. passed right ok thank you for clarifying that what about

food and supplies are you able to get hold of anything to to to look after yourself and your family. it's been tough we are rationing a lot i'm not sure if this has been ever reported but on the very 1st day that israeli aggression on palestinian targets 1st and foremost targeted young farmers in different areas that the farmers can now she'll go into the fields to pick us and send it to the market in the shops to the palestinians but we have very little sitting roads and vegetables and it's also very dangerous for us to venture out with trying to corruption as much. as possible but it's not about one about the food again about the terror that israel is. causing us that they're under destruction that is making this unprecedented and making this unforgivable

also even in many ways. the constant claim from the israelis is that they are targeting hamas and that hamas lives amongst the civilian and operates amongst the civilian population therefore they are hiding behind civilians tell me your reality on the ground related to that. then it is necessarily colonialist him that is bombing people oppressed occupied besieged an apartheid state and we don't expect less from israel. the truth is always the opposite of what is our reality here is that gaza is a very crowded area the reality here is that israel deliberately targeted palestinian homes with the like you've seen in the last 2 nights ago how israel destroyed a whole block with. the throwing them on the heads of the

people while they were killing 42 people most of them children women and in the. people at the same time israel destroyed the roads that lead to to the hospitals and in order to delay the arrival of rescue teams and ambulances in order to maximize the number of palestinians. this is not a war against hundreds of palestinian it is a war and every single kenyan if you look at the people massacred by it by israel it means israel has one aim to continue the destruction and the ethnic cleansing of palestine that started in 148 when europe established this illegal entity on on palestinian on palestinian land to fuss how long have you and your family lived in gaza have you always lived there yeah yeah 41 lived under

occupation all my life we measure our years now in gaza by how many wars israel was so that's what i mean that's what i was going to ask you you know about you and your family your children especially you have lived through wars and who know especially for children who come to almost expect this and i'm sure they don't find it normal but i know that it happens. this is the most horrific thing when palestinians now talk about the worst case scenario living that paralyzing that because you have to live with the trauma with your inability to deal with this with the despair that the international community is complicit in every day there and paying israel to kill. to kill palestinians the israelis want to do one thing to make the best to make up kneel and sack men for the brutality and 'd for the massacres and that's why it is a tragic thing the kids in particular and terrorizing them if you want to target

israel has all the american equipment i think they can easily target. things quietly relatively quietly but one bomb israel throws up takes the whole cover this is somebody who want to take it to get. a militant or a fighter this is somebody who wants to deliberately kill if not kill maim and. kill right however there is one important thing i want the always to arise palestinian and israeli must look at credit in the long ones and again of those very critically and brian from the answers the children rising from the ashes and struggle for freedom struggle for for just the right for human rights and the but i thought of joining us from gaza thank you for your time for your insight and best wishes to you and your family thank you for having me just a little update to the international reaction that we've been seeing turkey's

president reject tayyip erdogan has spoken and is urging an end to israel's massacre that is his words massacre of palestinians he's actually said that in a cool hour after a call with the pope. a process that some turkish president reject typer one looking at the live pictures again from the border near israel between israel and gaza i should say the artillery fire which has continued all this monday morning. the rest of the day's news is coming up south africa's former president jacob zuma is in course accused of corruption relating to a $1000000000.00 a multi-billion dollar arms deal of the latest from the course and left wing parties in chile when a majority in a vote to rewrite the dictatorship era constitution.

now the moment java and bali are examples of fairly dry areas that for most of southeast asia including mainland southeast asia you could get a shower any time of day that's true through most of the philippines as well not so much in luzon southern born is votes of the driest sumatra is not and that rain gathering to move north into the bay of bengal eventually the season has changed probably with that cold start you had with minus 5 in camber on monday has gone plus 5 on tuesday morning there is still coldish weather coming up from the south but you've got 80 degrees in the sunshine in melbourne and still 70 and who bought that onshore breeze through queensland along the coast does limit temperatures to the low to middle twenty's quite low to be honest and the 2425 in perth will be accompanied by a shout in next couple of days which will not temper down a little bit for new zealand when a proper taste of what's to come are sick with what's going to cross the tasman sea

is quite a strong southwest with no temp is now below 10 and to assassin in christchurch is only 30 minutes in the sunshine as a matter of rain or more likely snow for the southern alps and that rain moves slowly northwards but tends to die out during wednesday and temp is right. so little bit in christchurch. but. from the al-jazeera london broadcast center to people in thoughtful conversation the struggles that we see in the global south have not because of our health but because of the harm of the global north with no host and no limitation that's the story of climate change it's not that we're all in it together the people of the most impacted in the 1st impact to there in the global side that's always how it is hard to. and that's a great fashion should be actually regulated just like they are at studio b. unscripted juicy.

burger. from. with al-jazeera a reminder of the current situation in israel and palestine israel continuing its bombing raids across the gaza strip despite international calls for calm this is a fracture inside a refugee camp that was hit earlier today 197 palestinians including 58 children have been killed in the past week. israeli troops still massed along the border as well and have been regularly firing artillery into gaza has also launched more rockets into israel towards both ashkelon and bush 10 people in israel have been killed in strikes in the past week. and palestine's fatah movement has called for a general strike across the occupied west bank on tuesday to protest against

israeli aggression prime minister mohammad tires calling on the international community to take action to end the violence in gaza. well sunday was the deadliest day of his radio raids since the campaign began a sharp rise in the number of palestinian kills killed with rescue teams working around the clock to help the survivors the details in this report. calling for survivors in a room flattened by rocket fire. and a sign of life a man calls back in july. 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 life 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 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 to 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 new york. had looked at the father devastated by the loss of this child who never got a chance to grow up. they are. u.s. president joe biden says his administration is working towards a sustained calm and words between israel and palestine he stopped short of calling for an immediate cease fire despite the demands of 28 senators within his own

democratic party were 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 news israelis and other regional partners to work toward sustained calm on to other news in the former south african president jacob zuma is been back in court on corruption charges accused of racketeering fraud and money laundering this is related to a 2000000000 dollars deal with the french manufacturer pale in the light $990.00 s. when zuma was a senior figure in the government there has also been charged both zuma and the company deny any wrongdoing. outside the court what's been happening today from. both since we last spoke there was a very short court proceedings and what i indicated then was that former president

jacob zuma as a lawyer had withdrawn from the case just a month ago he presented himself in court and his withdrawal has been accepted by the court and following that there's also been an instruction that jacob zuma submit his plea by next week so within 45 minutes court has been adjourned and little has happened and so many south africans are waiting for that trial to begin to hear from the 1st witness a whistleblower going back to the early 2000 they're going to have to wait at least another week before they see any real movement in this long away to trial that goes back as you said more than 2 decades to very little happening in court so far for me to tell me then what this is done as far as politics goes internal politics of the african national congress. both a very difficult time for the african national congress if we go back to when these

allegations were 1st made a journey jacob zuma was defeated president of south africa at the time toppling becky who was the president then fired him this of course created a lot of tension within the party jacob zuma remained deputy president of the african national congress he then became president of that political party and then he then pushed for the the recall of toppled becky i'm giving you that background to explain the tensions and the difficulties the a.n.c. has experienced in the last 2 decades and that's only worsened current president obama has pushed for the fight against corruption we've seen other high ranking members of the a.n.c. a q. of corruption we've seen the a.n.c. push for a step aside when anyone accused of corruption or any such deeds would have to step aside while they face court proceedings but even see a city doesn't want to interfere but at the end of the day you've got

a governing party that has factions very very strong factions pulling and pushing a president saying he's fighting corruption but also dealing with internal politics which appears to be crippling the a.n.c. rather than the governing party dealing with running a country that's been marred by covert 19 that has an economic problems and why people want a far far stronger position from the a.n.c. rather than one trying to stay alive. thank you for all those updates from pietermaritzburg south africa returning to gaza in fact just while we were talking to for me to have a look at these pictures which we've. called as they happened a strike. as it happened right on the coast there can't give you any more information unfortunately just yet right on the mediterranean coast of gaza israel hitting what it would have called a hamas target they will want to find some more information about what was actually hit but that happened literally 2 minutes ago whilst we were talking for major air

strikes ongoing this monday in gaza. on the coronavirus news the indian prime minister narendra modi is being accused of cracking down on criticism after dozens of people were arrested in the capital they had put up posters asking why vaccines were sent to broader earlier this year instead of using them in india police say they were arrested for defacing the wards also the top indian virologist shahid resigned from government coronavirus advisory group which is looking into new variance he'd raise concerns the government wasn't paying enough attention to the more contagious strain that we're seeing despite being warned about it in march and also written in the new york times that scientists are facing stubborn resistance to the evidence based policy that. jailed hong kong media tycoon jimmy lies in court for a new trial along with 9 other pro-democracy activists they're charged with

incitement to an authorised assembly this was for their roles in the $29000.00 protest march share trading in lies company's been suspended on the hong kong stock exchange 2 days after the terrorist government froze his assets under the national security law. stephen vines is a writer and broadcaster who says hong kong is no longer a safe haven for businesses to operate without government intervention. i think it's immensely significant even been though we knew that the national security law had these enormous sweeping 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 home countries and international business center the idea that your

assets would suddenly and without. any detail research and be frozen is sending a big chill down the spines of people who are doing business some people say and some people are already saying oh well jimmy liasson well now they're taking the chinese off our to dislike him 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 there 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 not problems of this magnitude but of very considerable magnitude and so even if you're close of the communist i don't know running a very big business the chances of the off target is intervening and preventing

that business from operating in a normal way of very considerable. on the left wing candidates have won a majority in a historic election for delegates who will rewrite chile's constitution president sebastian pinera says it shows his government's political parties are out of touch with the citizens a latin america editor on the scene human reports from something or other if they even get a feeling of having to do an election like no one there chile has seen marked by hope and the need for a dose of uncertainty the chileans voted overwhelmingly for left wing delegates to write the new constitution dealing a bitter blow to the governing conservative coalition that had bet on of caning enough seats in the upcoming convention to block radical changes. if. our citizens are 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 even the right wing voters like my idea luis were horrified but far more that with john but this country is going down hill if we don't find another general pinochet i swear this won't work them among all the.
