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 the israeli fortifications peppering them with rocks and glass marbles. the 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 a sniper team has taken a position later as we reported live there was no rushing no show of force simply sniper fire from a protected position on unarmed protesters one man fell injured in front of us and

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 we 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 and we have heard from president biden if a potent defeat by. so that's. really something consistent with what we are proposing in difficulty council so we hope we come

continue to work together among all come from members we felt good to be with out 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 christine salumi al-jazeera the united nations president joe biden has confronted ungar and one of the battleground states of the 100 m. last november's election hundreds of pro palestinian protesters marched outside a ford manufacturing plant in michigan as biden visited to talk up electric vehicles during his speech he directly addressed palestinian american congress and receipt of. and i want to say to you that i admire your intellect
7:09 am

7:10 am
palestinians are facing is not just a result of this week's escalation but the consequence of years of military occupation in shake your rub the israeli government is violently dispossessing yet another neighborhood of palestinian families from homes they have lived in for decades we cannot stand idly complacently by and allow the occupation and oppression of the palestinian people to continue for henry olsen is that washington post columnist he says the us president stands on the conflict is intentionally non-committal. i 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 while not doing so much to pressure israel that the bankers the people who support israel within his party it's a very difficult row who threw him to rome this 2 star aides are actually mutually
7:11 am
incompatible you can't support israel in its battle of the palestinians or without not supporting the palestinians in their battle with against the israelis and right is trying to do exactly what i expect he would do which is to offer each side a little bit and hope that they will turn the pressure up on him the israeli public is decidedly to the right of where the democratic party is in the united states whether it is key and so far or whether it's been human netanyahu enough taliban that it is highly likely that the next mr of israel is going to be somebody of the nationalist religious right and they will take a view or israeli sovereignty over the west bank that is dramatically in odds with where the majority of the democrats be and so i would expect biden to be moving more in 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 that awful lot of repulsive on the norwegian refugee council has released footage of the aftermath of his rainy ass tracks which it says killed dozens of children in their homes thank
7:12 am
the council says 11 of the children killed by any bombs in the past week but getting help the trauma they'd already suffered it says the children aged between 5 and 15 what home when they were killed. al-jazeera when we come back have a punt demick is leading to an alarming rise in cyber crime in mexico targeting children and why so many journalists have lost their lives covering india's crisis more in the stay with us. for the perfect gentleman. ways. how that weather so far detroit hot and sunny across much of the middle east as per usual as it should be the main weather action of course is across the other side of the arabian sea affecting both western kona of in the pushing up towards the himalayas for the

it having increased the unsettled the thursday. school at ways. killing the debate down. the fiction and amplified you will fully steer only human research narrative the media will miss in true story no topic is off the table why in the world what was humanized and individual domestic terrorist this was an illegal occupation of a country what they're doing is they're removing all its historical revisionism this story where a global audience becomes a global community on al-jazeera. welcome
7:15 am
back a quick amount of our top stories here on al-jazeera the 1st palestinian general strike in decades has been held in the occupied territory of israel but it ended with further violence and bloodshed 4 people were killed more than $160.00 injured . israel's continued its bombardment of gaza at least 220 palestinians have been killed since the military offensive against hamas and other palestinian groups began a week ago. and the u.n. is calling for border crossings to be reopened to provide badly needed humanitarian aid to gaza a convoy of international aid trucks started rolling in at one point but israel suddenly close the crossing again citing security issues. but elsewhere on the diplomatic front france has proposed a cease fire resolution with the u.n. security council in coordination with egypt and jordan president emanuel who's been hosting a summit of african nations and spent several days calling for a rapid truce he held talks with egypt's president abdel fattah el-sisi in paris
7:16 am
while jordan's king abdullah joined by the video link speaking in front of an israeli fighter jet israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowed to continue hitting hamas and its allies and people to fill. our enemy 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 while hamas a spokesman said they too will fight on. come on and let me make it clear all ripper ation jerusalem sword is ongoing relentlessly the israeli enemy is betting on the fact 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
7:17 am
clear there is no free truce and that any talk about truce must be with its jews and condition is the israeli and the patient will not enjoy security unless the palestinian people enjoy the same the same goes for our beloved al aksa when earlier we spoke to musician activist roger waters in new york he told us how he and others like him have a duty to use their platform i can stand on this rooftop and shout at the top of my lungs and i'm not saying until somebody hears me because people do hear me i actually do have a but. i can encourage the choir to sing with a louder and louder and louder voice every not just in palestine but all over the world to saying we shall overcome together because we will because this situation is completely untenable everybody with an i.q. above room temperature knows that israel is a failed son is experiment it is over this will not go on
7:18 am

7:26 am
develop is carbon capture where emissions are stored and kept out of the atmosphere well michael dorsey is co-founder of the sunrise movement that's an environmental group he's skeptical of the report saying it fails to holler at the role 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 at 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 the role society would land there much more has to be done we've got to focus on share share therefore the fact is that rich countries have
7:27 am
much more responsibility for the problem of unfolding climate change and they have to pay more there's a lot of science on that is well it's sad that the real society didn't recognize that now it's predicted electric cars will outsell traditional internal combustion models by 2038 and by mid century as many as a 1000000000 will be on our roads from los angeles robin and looks at the wind is unknown as is the electric revolution. bester mechanic john choi has been servicing and repairing cars for 30 years he emigrated to los angeles from korea and own his own repair shop i'd like to pounce on. walking you know picking apart put it in mechanical work you know has no more but there are big changes on the horizon for mechanics everywhere as governments and automakers transition to electric vehicles in order to slow global warming california and china plan to ban sales of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035 the u.k.
