here now someone who has witnessed similar strikes in the past. and you've been. in the 1987 and forward how does this compare to the events that happened at that time. even. if you take. these these. days. it's widespread practice then. that's the issue at that time you know the people they fed up and they exploded like that what's happened in job area during that

time or near paris the war cause all the labors they were killed it was like spark and i think our life it is just on the spot because we are living under this pressure we are living under this discrimination regime place of regime that's that's the. situation and i wasn't shocked you know when i saw the people they are fed up by they went to the street and they try to. you know face counter all of these and fighting back against all of these polices against all of the ignorance of their fundamental rights you know their dignity the patient touched every aspects in palestinian life everyone it's not just you know this group or that a group they generalize they target palestinians as palestinians that's the case

they lift for them nothing that's the issue at that time you know the people they went to the street but the patient at the time they were at the center of this it is. the clashes it was in the inside of the cities and villages and the that time the people you know they they feel that they have nothing to lose everyone you know participated. during that time and the people they started with thinking how to deal with daily life with their needs to help each other's their stories they cut off between all the cities and villages that. you know they build those are the history soldiers. but people you know with their solidarity in terms of you know sort of the 1st one and a half year i can say it was it was a great to see all palestinians of the streets you. i meant to ask you a quick question you've been documenting violations by the israeli occupation and.

a generation being traumatized as cutting up as a young bloke said in his report. for 7 hours 6 year old suzy was trapped under piles of rubble. her home was hit by an israeli air strike in gaza her mother and 4 siblings died. and hospital she reunites with her father a budget they hold hands facing a new life without their family that had been up when. i was filled with all the anger of the universe but when i heard that one of my daughters was alive i said thank god because this girl might capture some even a little of my other daughter smile. there's not much room for innocence in gaza play time with their new toys is cut short for the sisters when the sounds of fighting come too close for comfort heavy heavy heavy heavy heart attack that no

doubt that their father akhmed muncy made you tube videos that were widely shared on social media to distract his kids from the violence the days after this recording he died in an airstrike oh this boy lost his home. he holds back tears trying to recover some of his belongings. that i made of the wreckage a moment of joy for these children who managed to save their pet fish but experts fear these fleeting moments of happiness may soon be replaced by a long term trauma my older girl she's 70 years old she looked at me and said does god really feel what we are feeling now and of course i answered the head but i started thinking what is the mental state and the wind motion instead that she's going through all of this point to be asking such a. sister such an existential question the depths of loss can be overwhelming

especially for children. you know would still. i guess. i'm not really that much i get i do if i feel i don't know what to feel just. as bomb strike nearby and this girl praise her repeated recitation is an attempt to drown out the same. and of explosions. doctors say suzy will recover from her physical injuries but it's the invisible emotional scars that may require long term attention. to civilian al-jazeera let's widen this out now because protests against israel's action are gathering momentum around the world people have gathered outside the u.s. embassy in indonesia's capital for example jakarta to protest against the bombardment of gaza. indonesia says it will continue to press other muslim countries to push for an immediate ceasefire an update on that situation and

any of workers who work in israel and in illegal settlements and the conditions they face the lack of safety and the low wages that they are paid for their work now this is an issue that has the support of the into the asian government internees has never had formal diplomatic ties with israel and this has always been considered a high priority when it comes to foreign policy regardless of whoever the into the asian president is now indonesian president joke over jodi we don't know earlier this week he said that he condemns israel's attacks on palestinian people in particular of violence against women and children and he said in his own words that israel's aggression must be stopped now the indonesian president alongside the leaders of malaysia and bernanke have signed a pole a letter in collaboration and. they have called for the u.n. general assembly to take this issue very seriously and they say that the u.n.

let's look to europe where conditions are looking cooler than expected across much of central and northern areas for this time of year and that's due to this low precious sitting here we're seeing over cost a lot of wet weather coming through it's further east that we're seeing a higher pressure bringing warmer conditions to russia $27.00 degrees in moscow and that's extending up across parts of scandinavia but much of the west to weather as we go into wednesday is going to be across parts of ukraine remain we're going to see some storms kicking in there but we'll also have a wet weather across france and germany cloud cover there as well as the british isles though some sunshine will break through for the warmer conditions we've got to go to southern parts of europe look at the sunshine coming in for our friends in spain that extends across into italy and of course into greece 32 degrees in athens so temperatures really high here than what we expect for this time of year but as we edge towards thursday they will dip down as those cooler conditions kick in but

a lot of hot weather continues across parts of northern africa algeria seeing some high temperatures there as well as egypt 34 degrees in cairo. frank assessments there are a lot of poison but the government used one exactly how and one measure never taking for a situation like i'm not to believe you could ever get informed opinions is the u.s. with thinking the military positioning of the middle east wasn't just a simple act of reorganizing ministry assets this is a message to the region the united states years are rethinking its military posture in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on al-jazeera.

a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera live pictures 1st of all from gals over the situation is quiet now. overnight israeli forces bombed the strip by land sea and air. forces intensified them with hospitals overwhelmed there was also was a severe shortage of electricity and water $212.00 palestinians have been killed including $61.00 children. palestinian leaders have called for a general strike across the occupied territories and israel on tuesday protesting against the violence and the occupation of these 19 palestinians have been killed in the occupied west bank since monday. and there have been protests against israel's action gathering momentum around the world as people gathering outside the

u.s. embassy in indonesia's capital jakarta to protest against the board of cuts. u.s. president joe biden's expressed support for a cease fire during his latest call with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu but he is under growing pressure from members of his own party who accuse the president of ignoring the plight of palestinian civilians john hendren reports 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 overturn president trumps 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 wound 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 $735000000.00 in new weapons to israel some lawmakers argue this 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. let's look at some other news now in a powerful cycle in a sweat to show in western india killing at least 21 people already. took 10 years now weakening to making landfall instead of goods it off on monday it's also caused damage in states right along the coast from maharashtra down to carolina the severe winds and heavy rainfall small than 200000 people from their homes as well sea levels well as high as 3 mazes the winds are up to more than 185 kilometers per hour. and there is a search underway for 127 people missing after a barge sank off india's coast as well nearly 190 people have been rescued 2 other vessels are adrift in rough seas now less adverse weather of course complicating the fight against cove but 19 on india's west coast front line workers have been

diverted the number of daily deaths has risen as well to a record of 4300 slots bring it all together with the mittal now. let's deal with the side 1st of all and the damage it's brought. yes so the latest news we're getting is that there is a military operation underway in the arabian sea where at least 2 barges that we use for accommodating people who work in the oil rigs there have been adrift and the latest figures we have is that between those 2 barges the military has managed to rescue at least 200 people but 700 are still missing now this psycho one is one of the most powerful cycles to have hit actually the most powerful cyclon to have hit the west coast of india in at least 3 decades it made landfall last night in the state of good job affecting a majority of the districts there some places even so when up to 190 kilometers per

hour but as we speak you know the met apartment has said that the cyclist is weakening but weakening very slowly because of how powerful it was so by the evening it is expected is the i expecting the winds to go down to around 50 kilometers per hour as they move to neighboring states but of course the situation on the ground in terms of the pandemic is complicating matters because some of the states that have been affected could just maharashtra karnataka carolina are some of the states with the highest cases in the country right now so the evacuations of hundreds of thousands of people had to be you know had to be done keeping in mind covert protocol what we are being told is that authorities said that in the shelters covert protocols like social distancing and marking up are being followed additionally states say they did make arrangements for hospitals with covert patients giving them generated us to ensure they had uninterrupted electric supply because electricity. was an issue during the cycle as well as ambulances were kept

on standby just in case patients had to be moved and then more widely because that situation poverty the record number of deaths again. yes 8 so monday was the deadliest day in the pandemic flu in just so far and you know that's a statement i think i've made a couple of times over the last few weeks last 2 weeks of really the trend being that the death toll has been breaking records on the other hand if you look at the fresh cases they are down significantly down from 2 weeks ago when there were about 400000 but again you know the caviar being that experts had been warning that both the numbers are undercounted and now to date to high courts in the country have reiterated that you know the high court in the state of their for this has asked the state government to ramp up testing especially in the rural areas because of

the medical infrastructure the high court has made a scathing observation saying that the infrastructure was not even adequate for normal times just one bad but 10000 people in rural india and then the bihar high court basically told the government to also make sure that the death toll is counted of adequately and properly you know we've been reporting that hundreds of thousands of bodies have been found in a sorry hundreds of bodies have been found in the ganges river in these 2 states but if you look at the official records the number of deaths of deaths from covered 1000 are way below poverty maternal with those updates on the well most situations in india today thank you poppy. several east asian countries often cited for their success in controlling the pandemic on are grappling with their worst outbreaks and it's led to further delays to a planned travel bubble between singapore and hong kong and taiwan is talking to

the united states to get more vaccines as it reports 700 new cases in the past week mcbride but this report from seoul. supermarket shelves emptied by panic buying streets and businesses quiet while coronavirus testing sites are busy dealing with increased demand there are 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 the jewish non-citizens without residence permit will be prevented from entering taiwan we will also suspend travelers from transferring through the country and 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 plans to resume flights within the travel bubble between the 2 cities have had to be delayed a 2nd time many asian neighbors eager to reopen like better vaccinated countries

but aware of how quickly their own infection rates could surge if they do rob look bright al-jazeera so. hong kong's government says it is temporarily closing its office in taiwan taiwan's government said that while it respected the decision also regretted it tensions between the 2 of risen since the pro-democracy protests started back in 2019 taiwan had criticised hong kong's national security law and opened an office in taipei to help people who may want to leave beijing of course sees taiwan as part of china let's go to beijing talk to katrina about this i read katrina that was some suggesting this could also be coronavirus related but clearly there's an underlying issue as well. that's right there is a coronavirus outbreak happening again in taiwan but the hong kong office said that this is not due to that and what this closure is really also a reflection of the deteriorating ties between hong kong's beijing backed

government and taipei and for contacts that's been deteriorating since $29.00 when we had these massive pro-democracy protests really bring hong kong to a standstill and we had subsequently this national security law which criminalizes subversion and under which we've seen more than 100 democracy activists arrested now during that time taiwan was incredibly supportive of the protesters even offering refuge to those who may want to leave hong kong and flee persecution as they called it now hong kong has had this office in taipei since 2011 it was opened under the previous administration which was somewhat more friendly with beijing in the goal was to strengthen cultural and business ties between hong kong and taiwan and when they closed today on tuesday did they did not give a reason except to explicitly say that this was not due to the core of 19 outbreak and it said that there was nothing more to add but according to hong kong media the reason for this closure could be because of

a visa status now taiwan has its own de facto consulate in hong kong as you mentioned earlier one of the functions is to help people leaving hong kong to taiwan now the hong kong government told the employees of that taiwan office that they would not have their visas renewed if they did not agree to sign a document supporting china china's claim to taiwan and supporting the one china policy china of course sees taiwan as a renegade province now there are 8 employees of that taiwan office and all of their work permits their visas were due to expire this year and then they would not be allowed to stay in hong kong so we did piers that this closure of the hong kong office in taiwan is a tit for tat reciprocal move from the taiwan government and really it does demonstrate 2 things one the tightening grip of china's central government over hong kong authorities and to its increasingly assertive stance towards taiwan trinny you reported for budget thank you. more than $5000.00 migrants have crossed
