dome has intercepted more rocket fire from gaza more of that shortly but will begin with the protests and violence across the occupied west bank al jazeera abraham was speaking to a demonstrator live on air when gunfire broke out. what makes you think that this i've . crowds are leaving we're not sure what's going on both are safe and need our continued reporting from ramallah throughout the day another of our correspondent terry foresaid was in bethlehem he tells us how the day unfolded. this is a well one road at one end palestinian protesters driven by years of occupation what 2 recent human rights reports have defined as a party and good and sustained by events in jerusalem in gaza at the other

implacable militarized position of the israeli forces blocking the way and more. this is how this day would play out huge shows of force pushing back the crowd then young men in small groups gradually approaching within tens of meters of israeli fortifications peppering them with rocks and glass marbles. israeli tactics varying from attempting to russian detain them to overwhelming them with tear gas and foul smelling water to considerably worse so israeli forces are strengthening their position after those stone throwers got pretty close to the checkpoint here and as you can see on the road just in front of us as. sniper team has taken a position later as we reported live there was no russian no show of force simply sniper fire from a protected position on unarmed protesters one man fell injured in front of us and

was taken out by ambulance one among many here among dozens across the occupied west bank. near the illegal settlement of a del close to ramallah the gunfire was at one point going both ways this is a rare shooting attack on an israeli military position during a confrontation a sign of the seriousness of this current upsurge in violence 2 palestinians were killed here 2 israeli soldiers injured i think i want to life it just on the spot because we are living under this pressure we are living under this discrimination. that's that's the. this equation this has been declared a national strike and a day of rage observed to an occupied east jerusalem confrontations breaking out of damascus gate was. and is shaped your are where a long simmering protest against forced expulsions of palestinians has in part

fueled this wider violence in the southern occupied west bank city of hebron a palestinian was shot dead by israeli forces who said he was carrying a knife a homemade gun and an explosive device. a brutal day to add to the tally of the last week or a force at bethlehem in the occupied west bank. at least 218 palestinians have been killed in gaza since israel's military offensive against hamas and other palestinian armed groups began more than a week ago that includes 63 children the humanitarian crisis the getting was a convoy of international aid trucks started to roll in of one point but israel suddenly close the border crossing again citing security concerns as the un's calling for it as another crossing to be reopened it is critical that the air is crossing is also open for the entry and exit of critical humanitarian staff humanitarian access into and out of gaza for staff and goods must be sustained and

appropriate measures taken to ensure safe movement within gaza overnight we received extremely worrying reports of additional of additional infrastructure civilian infrastructure being hit in gaza including in the central kovan $1000.00 testing lab and other health and humanitarian facilities in addition we continue to receive reports of significant displacement of palestinians within the gaza strip in the southern israel palestinian rocket attacks killed another 2 people and injured 14 others the un security council met for a 4th time but again failed to reach any consensus al-jazeera as kristen salumi reports. as outrage grows over the ongoing violence in the middle east so too does pressure on the international community to act demonstrators gathered on tuesday outside the building that houses israel's mission to the u.n. calling for an end to the hostilities while inside the u.n.

the palestinian ambassador called on the security council to speak with one voice president biden has finally called for a cease fire elevated his rhetoric did that give you any hope that today coming out of the security council the united states might have softened its position a bit on a statement are you seeing any difference and their level of engagement to sincerely hope that he can succeed in his efforts with the efforts of everyone else who is involved in this endeavor to reach an agreement on a cease fire as we speak any time soon our objective is to put an end to that idea and the suffering of all of the. the security council has met 4 times in the course of 8 days with norway tunisia and china pushing to keep the crisis in the spotlight but we have heard from president biden youth a potent if you thought so that's. really

a fun thing consistent with what we are proposing in difficulty council so we hope that we come continue to work together among all kinds of members without good to be without at the request of the arab group along with the organization for islamic cooperation the general assembly will hold its own emergency meeting on thursday the united states continues to insist it's working tirelessly with players in the region to bring about an end to the violence arguing that quiet diplomacy is more effective than a public statement even as the calls for action are getting louder kristen salumi al-jazeera the united nations and president biden has been met with rage shame one of the battleground states that had him last november's election hundreds approve palestinian protesters outside a ford manufacturing plant in michigan as by visit to talk up electric vehicle initiatives during his speech he directly addressed palestinian american

congresswoman rushing to sleep. i want to say to you that i admire your intellect admire your passion and i admire your concern for so many of the people hence my from my heart i'm praying that your grandmamma and family are well i promise i'm in everything you see they are in the west bank your fighter in god thank you for being the. area also has a washington post columnist and senior fellow at the ethics and public policy center he joins us now from alexandria virginia good to have you with us henry you wrote recently that a majority of democrats now think that the u.s. should put more pressure on israel to make compromises with the palestinians to make peace out of it's going to be difficult for president biden to navigate the issue within his own party from what you've seen how is your sense as had link of a divide sofa. and think he's trying to do exactly what i would expect which is to

offer some degree of private reassure and in the case of 2 congressman clearly public reassurance that he understands their concerns why are a lot doing so much to pressure israel that rangers the people who support israel in his or it's a very difficult road for him to row this to start are actually mutually incompatible you can't support israel in its battle of the palestinians without not supporting the palestinians in their battle with against the israelis i'm writing is trying to do exactly what i expect it would do which is to offer each side a little bit and hope that they will turn the pressure on but can he continue to fall perform this this balancing act all progressives within his party right to expect more of an administration that that sells itself as being progressive and to distance itself from that that the previous policy is the previous administration. i expect over the next couple of years that you'll see more public breaks with

traditional u.s. policy towards israel and park resident biden precisely because of that look the israeli public is decidedly to the right of where the democratic party is in the united states whether it is going in so far or whether it's been human netanyahu enough sorry ben that it is highly likely that the next semester of israel is going to be somebody of the nationalist religious right and they will take a view towards israeli sovereignty over the west bank that is dramatically in odds with where the majority of the democratic party and so i would expect by going to be moving warmer into the position of the people who want to put more pressure on israel but he will do it delicately he will do it slowly if it's at all politically possible as you point out in it and you know. at peace american jews have been among the parties staunchest voting blocs the decades of calls from the left of the party though grow for a different approach to israel could that bloc drift away could that affect the

party standings and future elections. and it could you know the fact is that 50 percent of american jews say they are live well and there's a host of positions they've pulled a map that they may not like the view that a democratic president extorts israel but they won't become republicans but 50 percent or not them or 8 or conservative then given that the republican party only gets about 25 to 30 percent of the vote jews right now will bring that up to 35 percent range would still leave the democrats dominant but it would severely weekend they're all on t.v. states such as michigan or florida or pennsylvania where there are substantial jewish minorities even a small change could really hurt them but you think it's not going to happen out during this crisis but over time by haps what during this administration they will paint a shift and stomps towards israel. i expect given the way the democratic party voters

are leaning that there will be a shift in this administration to move away from they start to embrace a particularly of a nationalist right prime minister which is likely what israel on and then you will be weakening of the american support not abandonment but weakening of the american support for israel particularly on matters concerning the palestinians could still tannery many thanks indeed for being with us handrails and that in alexandria virginia. coming up after the weather scientists lay out how technology can better help us meet global emissions targets. and a critical covert situation in colombia where intensive care unit beds are fast running out. for the perfect general. sponsored plan qatar airways we got more very heavy

well again this is al-jazeera the main news this hour the 1st palestinian general strike in decades has been held in occupied territory and israel but it ended with further violence and bloodshed 4 people were killed 160 injured in the west bank 2 israeli soldiers were wounded. israel's continued its bombardment of gaza at least 218 palestinians have been killed since the military offensive against hamas and other palestinian armed groups began a week ago. and the u.n. is calling for border crossing a border crossing to be reopened to provide badly needed humanitarian aid to gaza a convoy of international aid trucks did start to rule in a one point israel suddenly closed the crossing again citing security issues.

francis filed a resolution with the u.n. security council calling for a cease fire president emanuel mccraw has used a major summit to push for peace he had talks with egypt's president a bull fattah el-sisi in paris or jordan's king abdullah joined by video link the 3 agreed to launch a humanitarian initiative for palestinian civilians in gaza was speaking in front of an israeli fighter jets israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowed to continue his thing hamas and its allies and. our enemies see what price we are charging for the aggression against us i'm sure they will learn the lesson we will continue the operation in gaza no matter how long it takes we took on hamas years back and the enemies around us are learning their lessons of what we can do to them if they dare to attack us a massive spokesman said that they too will fight on. let me make it clear all ripper ration jerusalem sold is ongoing relentlessly the israeli enemy is betting

on the factor of time and how many losses they think they can inflict upon us but it's a losing bet because the resistance in gaza is ready for a long battle and on all fronts with the grace of god when the israeli enemy keeps targeting the women and children it is clear that they have failed and they cannot achieve much when it comes to their so called bank of targets also let me make it clear there is no free truce and that any talk about truce must be with jews and condition this is ready and the patient will not seem joy security unless the palestinian people enjoy the same the same goes for our beloved. strikes by israel have crippled the infrastructure in gaza nearly $450.00 buildings have been either destroyed or badly damaged that's the latest un estimates that includes $285.00 housing units which are now uninhabitable leaving 2 and a half 1000 people homeless 6 hospitals a primary health care centers have also been either damaged or destroyed among them

or those operated by the palestinian red crescent armed gaza's only test lab 41 educational facilities including schools kindergartens and higher education centers including one operated by the un have been his even as more than 42000 people seek protection in 50 schools operated by the un and the supply of electricity is now down to between 6 and 8 hours a day basic services including water and sanitation have been disruptive criticism is growing from some popular u.s. news and comedy programs about america's pro israel stance and show host jon all over delivered this hitting out is ready militaries actions. destroying a civilian residence sure seems like a war crime with dogs so what do you send a killer to see heads up next and when dozens of people have seen their homes all livelihoods destroyed it doesn't really help that the israeli ministry posted this

triumphant me showing the explosion and the rubble labelled before and what we did people live there before and though they can't you get it right and obviously in general you should probably never mean a war crime but if you absolutely have to at least go with something less boring than the before the template maybe is the tracon me or the disaster girl there's a building coming down so check mark already there and it's a little go with always that i don't know what the geneva conventions are frankly i don't care the more think about it it works perfectly. to other news there's tension between the e.u. and morocco after thousands of refugees migrants made their way into the spanish enclave of it sits on the north african coast and people swam up to the shore and climbed over fences others reached melia spain's our own play of the spanish government has already sent back many of the recent arrivals has been deemed baba reports tuesday in c.u. to and still they kept coming around 6000 migrants including roughly 1500 children

made it from morocco to the spanish enclave in a little over a day some had swum around the border fences sticking out into the mediterranean sea or used rubber dinghies others simply walked across at low tide one young man is known to have drowned dozens of being treated for hypothermia the adults were transferred to suit his main football stadium but those thought to be miners were sent to warehouses run by the red cross and other groups. the spanish government is now sending $400.00 extra troops and police to boost souter's border force while appealing for calm. in the last thing a migrate area and humanitarian crisis of this nature needs is for political leaders to show hatred or fear we therefore call on everyone that responsibility prudence and a sense of order prime minister pedro sanchez has canceled a trip to paris for a summit on international aid to africa instead he's traveling to see you to which is separated from morocco by

a 10 meter high fence meanwhile madrid's dismissed suggestions the sudden rise in migrants arrivals is linked to a diplomatic route. last month morocco reacted angrily when it emerged that brahimi the head of the policy front had been allowed into spain for covered 19 treatment the algeria backed group has fought for decades for western sahara as independence from morocco analysts had warned the rao over carli could push the moroccan government to limit cooperation over illegal migration and other issues brussels is now urging it to stop any more people trying to reach spanish territory the most important thing now is that morocco continues to commit to prevent irregular departures and that those that do not have the right to stay are orderly and effectively returned spain says it is expelling all those who vented suitor illegally but it's not clear if that applies to unaccompanied migrants under 18 who are usually allowed to remain. al-jazeera. more than 90 people are missing at

scientists say that new technologies must be used over the next 30 years to help bring greenhouse emissions down the report by the u.k.'s royal society has laid out a road map that includes developing projects to protect forests grasslands and other ecosystems in a way that makes profits for local communities it also says that better weather modeling systems would help reduce carbon emissions by nearly a 3rd and that batteries could be better utilized for storage on electricity grids and to decarbonise transport and manufacturing of the solution they want to develop is carbon capture where emissions are stored and kept out of the atmosphere michael dorsey is co-founder of the sunrise movement at a bar and metal organization he's skeptical of the report saying that it fails to highlight the role the politics plays in climate innovation. we can actually achieve net 0 emissions with existing technology the limiting variables are actually not the technologies they're actually the politics and the economics it's

also curious and sad that the royal society didn't focus on the need to massively increase the monies that we have behind existing technologies and to massively breakthrough some of the the political barriers right now we spend almost 5 trillion dollars on funding fossil fuel technologies that's a conservative number by places like the international monetary fund so this failure to check the existing problems and to put our hopes on technologies to come it's unfortunate that they're all society people and there are much more has to be done we've got to focus on share share therefore the fact is that rich countries have much more responsibility for the problem of unfolding climate change and they have to pay more there's a lot of science on that as well it's sad that the royal society didn't recognize that india's t.v. coronavirus death toll has reached a record high of more than 4300 fatalities were reported on tuesday but the number of new infections continues to fall but many believe that's because less testing is

in 2 hours now we are looking at a day or longer. colombia's 3rd peak of infections has been the most contagious and deadliest with the average number of daily deaths close to 500 the government says it's planning to transfer patients by air to other cities outside this emergency room relatives of kobita patients fear for their loved ones in need of a ventilator. it's all full not only here everywhere we are waiting for them to give us an answer but they're not telling us how see the valving. growing economic crisis its population having informal working on the streets. there. with more people in this regard. and their isolation. than more than 2 weeks of anti-government protests tackling inequality in police brutality might be making things worse i'll tell you he's warned that the
