so they do not cross into argentine territory from this small margin tiny forwards can money for what's happening in its economic exclusive zones but what authorities here are saying is that what's important is to regulate what's happening in international waters. israeli airstrikes continue into the night after a day of the heavy gaza bombardment hitting homes clinics and government buildings . down jordan this is not just iran live from doha also coming up international diplomatic efforts are yet to make much headway u.s. president joe biden has spoken with israel's binyamin netanyahu expressing his

support for a cease fire. i don't know. the emotional and physical scars for so many children in gaza as their world crumbles around. also ahead a cyclon forces hundreds of thousands from their homes in western india makes the fight against coronavirus even tougher. welcome to the program daybreak has brought more israeli air strikes on gaza. this was the skyline just over an hour ago it's now just after 8 o'clock in the morning there. and this was the scene in gaza late on monday night that been more than 30 israeli airstrikes during the night and into tuesday morning the conflict between israel and hamas into a 2nd week with the death toll past 200 mostly palestinians in gaza that is no end

in sight for the on claims 2000000 residents with diplomatic efforts to reach a cease fire all but still. early on monday israel destroyed a building that housed gaza's religious affairs ministry and killed a senior comes down to 15 kilometers of hamas tunnel network were also targeted and there was severe damage to qatar's red crescent office in central gaza. 212 palestinians have been killed in the conflict and more than 1400 people are injured hospitals in gaza overwhelmed and running low on critical supplies some people are being sent across the border to egypt for treatment there are severe shortages of electricity and water and palestinian armed groups have fired more rockets from gaza into southern israel injuring 17 people there residential towers were struck in the cities of ashdod and best sending people running to nearby bomb shelters

ordered $3000.00 rockets have been fired towards israel many were intercepted by israel's air defense system and hundreds of inside gaza at least 10 israelis have been killed since the conflict began but u.s. president joe biden has expressed support for a cease fire during his latest cold with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu biden is under growing pressure from members of his own party who accuse him of ignoring the plight of palestinian civilians john hendren imports now from washington d.c. . after continued israeli strikes on gaza and persistent pressure from his fellow democrats president biden is now calling for a cease fire in a phone call with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu the white house says in his statement the president expressed his support for a cease fire democratic congresswoman ileana omar one of the most persistent critics of the president from within his own party tweeted finally our delay in supporting a cease fire has caused the slaughter of children and destruction of lives now

biden has to push for an end to the occupation the white house press secretary has been insisting the biden administration is engaged in why it diplomacy to end the conflict and reduce palestinian and israeli casualties the president we are making all of our decisions through is how can we help bring an end to the violence and bring an end to deescalate the situation on the ground in march president biden's own secretary of state promised to make human rights the foundation of american foreign policy and the by paris of ministration will stand against human rights abuses wherever they occur regardless of whether the perpetrators are adversaries or partners. critics argue the rights of palestinians who make up the overwhelming number of civilian deaths and injuries in the current conflict are being ignored and biden has failed to roll back most of his predecessor's pro israel policy that he once called destructive the us embassy remains in jerusalem biden has not

overturned president trump's recognition of israel's sovereignty over the occupied golan heights biden's foreign policy has also avoided condemning forced expulsions of palestinians from their homes so far it is a it's a dramatic failure the main reason for that is that the administration was taken by surprise they did not expect this to happen. it's partly a self-inflicted war biden maintains both israelis and palestinians are entitled to safety and security in equal measure that's why some members of congress are questioning reports of a recent one sided arms deal 735 $1000000.00 in new weapons to israel some lawmakers argue the sale should be halted until israel stops its military campaign biden has consistently defended israel's right to defend itself and he has repeatedly criticized the hamas rockets raining down on israeli soil at one point saying the israeli assault was not disproportionate but there have been days of air

attacks since then. now israelis and palestinians alike wait to see if the american president's call for a cease fire will actually make a difference john hendren al jazeera washington. university of beirut he says the u.s. government lacks the political will to be an effective part of the peace. the call for a ceasefire by the president which was reported by his staff about a phone call that's about as low intensity as it gets there's nothing really more on that in terms of putting on behind your desire for a ceasefire so it's not very serious he's doing it because he's feeling pressure from democrats in congress his feeling the moral outrage of the world he's hearing everybody around the world not everybody but many people around the world demanding that palestinians be protected and he sees that the destruction of so

disproportionate and diac and gaz of vs anything in israel that he just felt he had to say something and what he said was very low intensity hopefully it's the beginning of. more the decisive process behind the scenes but we'll have to wait and see and of course it came after 3 days of stopping the security council the one for making is that the united states has managed the mediation process direct me to direct talks between palestinians and israelis for about 40 years almost 3540 years from the madrid process madrid talks and it has been just about the only mediator because it's the only one the israelis will trust and the palestinians want there as are other arabs and it has achieved 0 absolutely 0. and it's frightening that many of the individuals who are running the peace process are now speaking out in the media and think tanks as a great analysis of what should be done when they had 40 years and they did nothing

so they don't have they don't know how to make peace even handedly but the irony is that the u.s. was able to do that for instance in northern ireland played a very decisive role under to help bring about a pretty reasonable peace process so it's just there's there's no. ability or willingness of the united states specially democrats but both parties are pretty similar there's no willingness or ability to come right out and say palestinians and israelis have equal and simultaneous rights to statehood sovereignty peace justice and a decent life. for protest against israel's action are gathering momentum around the world people have gathered outside the us embassy in indonesia as capital jakarta to protest against the bombardment in gaza in the major says it will continue to press other muslim countries to push for an immediate ceasefire and hundreds marched in argentina's capital towards the israeli embassy but police

prevented them from reaching the building in but as our is last week argentina's foreign ministry denounced what it called israel's disproportionate use of force. and thousands of yemen is been showing their support for the palestinians there demanding israel stop its attacks on gaza and urging a boycott of israeli and american goods to the rebels are allied with hamas and call for the demonstration protesters burned israeli flags while chanting against the u.s. and israel after we have been asked many are covering your insanity. and the palestinian issue is a humanitarian political and essential issue for arab and islamic nations and therefore it is why it must be supported by all peoples in all countries of the world so our message is to stand and support the palestinian cause and its resistance in gaza. but at least 61 palestinian children have been killed since this conflict began many others have been injured or lost parents and other relatives. reports on the growing emotional and physical toll for young people. in

a couple of thunderstorms rolling across central areas as we move through the middle east it's a completely different picture we've got dry set of conditions temperatures here higher than expected for this time of year 44 degrees in kuwait the wetter weather is further north. from the. broadcast center to people in. the struggles. at least 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 are there in the global side that's always how it is hard to as you and that's a great fashion should be actually regulated just like cigarettes studio b. unscripted.

welcome back a program out of our top stories here at this hour. the conflict between israel and hamas has gone into a 2nd week as noun thing in strikes pushed the death toll in gaza took least 212 israeli attacks and destroyed a building that house gases religious affairs ministry and killed a senior commander of islamic jihad. palestinian armed groups of 5 more rockets from gaza into southern israel injuring at least 17 people residential towers were struck in the cities of ashdod and bear sheba sending people running into nearby bomb shelters. and u.s. president joe biden has expressed support for a cease fire during his latest call with israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu

biden is under growing pressure from members of his own party who accuse him of ignoring the plight of palestinian civilians. now india has recalled its highest number of deaths in a day from corona virus at least 4300 people died in the past 24 hours but the number of confirmed dead infections dropped below 300004 the 2nd day in a room the infection rate hasn't been as low since april it was widely believed the figures have come down as not enough people are being tested. and a fear cycle only has blasted ashore in western india killing at least 21 people cyclon told take cross the coast into graduate state on monday and it's being described as the most powerful storm in decades coastal areas are reporting extensive damage after sea level swelled as high as 3 meters and winds reach more than 165 kilometers an hour let's bring in roger he's a social epidemiologist and professor at the center for social medicine and community health joel harlow narrow university and joins us via skype from new

delhi rajiv good to have you with us so. one of the most powerful storms to hit india and decades and it comes as the country is being overwhelmed with coronavirus what does this mean for the state of gujarat where the storm made landfall. good morning daryn yes as we speak the storm made landfall in a good drug it's somewhat downgrade him though in severity from extreme this it did a very severe but it still means that at least by government reports 100000 people have been moved to cycle in shelters widescale destruction in the coastal districts and even to us some extend in the interior districts along the part expected to have disrupted and in road connectivity and so on so what in the corporate context of the program is about that about is the jackson nation which has been put

on hold for at least 2 days now the ability to be to maintain power supply as well as oxygen movement given that these are the desert up sions and rajiv as you say thousands of people living in low lying areas have already been moved to those shelters but it's really impossible isn't it to impose covert restrictions of mosques and social distancing in these shelters where hundreds of thousands of people have been moved. that's quite true in these districts are areas this is another disaster situation lead above the situation that's under way and in fact all the 4 states along the west coast which have been affected by this cycle but to varying degrees. of high incidence. states of course in all these states these are not because 2 districts that are actually the warning aspects within those states it may be some other areas but in general these

4 states are battling of it so for example in mumbai $600.00 plus facials had to be moved to yesterday from a temporary facility to another facility because these are temporary constructions and will be affected by decide cloning whether so so the equipment effort is going to be going to be you know hampered in multiple ways and rajib we know the health system and hospitals were already under strain from coronavirus we're also hearing now of a shortage of health workers in critical care units are we looking at a health system now at breaking point. well even even in all countries at the height of the epidemic anything between 15 to 20 percent of health workers have been ill and therefore therefore out of commission that's been the experience all over the world this is also the situation in those

critical care units or large hospitals where a very large number of patients are admitted now of course this is after vaccination and therefore the disease will be milder so for example in. the national disaster relief or as the n.d. r.f. has only deployed personnel who are vaccinated against called it so that's $11.00 care being taken in terms of the relief measures in these areas. good to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for talking to al-jazeera thank you thank you there. are several east asian countries often cited for their success in controlling the pandemic are now grappling with their worst outbreaks planned travel bubbles between certain countries have been delayed and some nations are asking the u.s. to help them get more vaccines dr reports from seoul. supermarket shelves emptied by panic buying streets and businesses quiet while corona virus

testing sites are busy dealing with increased demand there scenes normally associated with other parts of the world not taiwan considered a model example of how to contain the pandemic until now a sudden spike in new coronavirus cases linked to this airport hotel used by airline crews has led to clusters detected across the island which is now virtually closed its borders. or yes it was non citizens without residence permits will be prevented from entering taiwan we will also suspend travelers from transferring through the country. this was the same health minister who led an event last summer to celebrate taiwan's apparent fic tory in keeping the pandemic out. still small compared with other places this outbreak of hundreds of cases is a worrying trend for an island used to single digit or even 0 new cases per day

it's a sharp reminder of how east asia often applauded for controlling the pandemic is still vulnerable to the corona virus and its developing variants especially given the relatively slow rollout of vaccines in places like here south korea and its neighbors viet nam had also been recording relatively few cases from the start of the pandemic but now is grappling with its worst outbreak and the region's main financial hubs of hong kong and singapore are also finding then not immune many asian neighbors eager to reopen like better vaccinated countries but aware of how quickly their own infection rates could surge if they do problem bride al-jazeera sold. now the head of the world health organization has described the disparity between vaccine rollouts in the wealthier countries and poorer nations as a form of apartheid. says the gap is huge he's called on manufacturers to make jobs
