work now is focused on stopping the israeli aggression against our people in jerusalem, west bank and gaza. then entering a serious political process under clear international packing that leads to ending the israeli occupation of the lands in the state of palestine. and the long term solution is still a very long way off. now the united nations can't get a convoy into the gaza strip. israel says there was a motor attack at the border crossing. so therefore they shut it down. the palestinian factions say that their positions were attacked 1st. however, the aid convoy remains exactly where is not where it's needed the most am ron con, out is era on the southern barrier with gaza under serious effort colutus in gaza. where so far it appears to be quite a night days or aly, more selective than the previous night, at least. so people are chasing and following all the news or the

reports coming from different directions, really, on other media we, they heard about the us, the statement from us official statement telling one of the tv by tomorrow or maximum that the after there will be he expect a fees, fire agreement, but still we could see people talking about or expressing their concern of what they call it fatal. come because they are not used to see such kind of low level of fire and got the kids or the fire from got into the southern or into it and also reduce the signal significantly. we could see the policy and on group or firing less rocket. in addition to the rockets coming out of garza, several have been fired from southern lebanon towards israel to rockets reported he

hoping to keep the spotlight on the problem. they, along with the secretary general of the un, have called for an immediate cease fire, as well as respect for international law. we as president joe biden spoke to ready prime minister benjamin netanyahu on wednesday, saying he expected a significant de escalation on the path to cease fire bodies under intense pressure from within his own party to intervene from on us. let's cross 200 your customer in washington. d c or the 1st phone call between barton and mission. yahoo! is it a sign that the president is shifting his position? it is an incremental shift. lauren, it is the most assertive tone. we've heard from the biden white house toward addressing this crisis. and it was a carefully worded statement released by the white house significant in that bite and said that today is when he wanted to see this. so called significant de

escalation on the part of israel, but whether it was effective, well, you can only look to the response from israel's prime minister, who clearly rebuffed that statement from the white house saying that israel would continue until its military objects. objectives are accomplished. so that has opened up the u. s. president who further criticism that he did not specify what sort of significant de escalation would look like. and that he did not call for the immediate cease fire that other leaders have in d called 4 and twos. more about the pressure that's building on biden, from within his own party. sure. among the strongest voices calling for an immediate cease fire is the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi, of course, the other leader in the democratic party. and there is a growing number of democrats on the left side of the party, the liberals like alexandria, casio, cortez, and rush you to, to leave who is of palestinian descent. she has family in the west bank and the 2

of them with some other democrats have introduced a resolution in the house today. that seeks to stop an arm sale of some $735000000.00 of us made arms to israel. their precision guided missiles. now the introduction of this resolution, it really doesn't amount to much as far as stopping the arm sales from going through, but perhaps it can delay it. and certainly it makes clear to the buyer and white house that at least this wing of the democratic party and a growing number of mainstream democrats as well. are wanting the white house to take a more strong stance, a bolder move toward keeping israel and check. i need your help. sure, thank you very much indeed. still to come on out his era. the cost of reporting india's cobit process more than $200.00 journalists, the last the current of ours. and to sneak in,

though, come paula, sending troops to help combat the adf? no, my mouse, it up. it's not planned. we want to take these on groups in a pinch movement on the simply speaking, the adf are used to struggling our borders. so we must avoid misunderstandings. and abuses that could threaten co operation without you can to neighbors. the adf says that he has links to, i saw to the islamic state. do you think that those links mean the violence will grow in the region you saw still in an embryonic state in congo? and it's still possible to snuff them out and eradicate them completely. that's why i'm calling for the collaboration of all countries in the region in mozambique were saying, similar situation armed groups who say they have links. i thought if i make state violence is growing there, do you think there could be some form of regional military response?

because at the moment, the president and most am because saying that he doesn't want any intervention from the outside of the country, is it creek on my understanding that these terrorist groups have links with the adf . so they are starting to coalesce, it could become an international coalition of evil. we must not neglect the contribution that can be made by other countries. the humble sports shoe is now $80000000000.00 industry high in sneakers, of being presented as works of art at a new exhibition at london design museum. jessica baldwin has all trainers, basketball, shoes, sneakers, plymouth, souls, tennis shoes, runners, high tops, whatever you want to call the rubber sold shoes. there everywhere. once confined to the playground in sports fields, they are now in offices on count walks and even in a museum, the show charts a 50 year history from new york city basketball to these 2,
