this was germany, we loved it when it was built and we even when it was a major target of the conflict in northern ireland in the late 20th century belfast europa, a new episode of war hotels on al jazeera, the us president joe biden makes a new push for de escalation and a cease fire and a phone call with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the but so many us democrats, that's not enough. they issue a resolution to block us arm sales to israel. ah, i made room. so again, this is a life and also coming up the europe,

ian union agrees to reopen its stores to travelers as long as that fully vaccinated against the 19 for us president donald trump faces the increasing likelihood of criminal charges as investigations in today's business dealings. gather pace ah, optimal than 10 days of intense is ready, bombardment and gaza, costing 220 for palestinian lives. efforts to secure a ceasefire appear to be gaining traction one israeli and palestinian armed groups publicly se they'll fight on secret negotiations. so set to be under way more on that shortly after enron con reports of the latest fighting from southern israel palestinians in gaza. look at yet another building, reduced to rubble. as israel continues, it strikes and goes from land and sea. one man describes the moment he realizes his

house was next door and i received on my mobile phone a call from a private number. they said that it was a call from the east lady intelligence and they were wanting before getting our job home. they asked me to clear the area and to move all the neighbors out. i told him all out. he asked me to make sure that everyone is out. also, he asked me to block district. the israel has one of the most technologically advanced and well funded military in the world. while hammer has kept up a burrows of low tech rockets, most of them have been destroyed by its rocket defense system, known as i and don't. despite that, some fell on towns de la garza border, including ash stored on wednesday, and some people were injured. israel's can take a prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke to foreign diplomats and was blunt when it came to his dance on gulf and homer. there only 2 ways that you can deal with

him. you can either conquer that, and that's always an open possibility, or you can deter them. and we are engaged right now in fossil deterrence. but i have to say, we don't rule out anything. palestinian president mahoney to both also spoke hoping for an interview asking you back long term solution in the matter. we don't have to do the 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 it 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 em ron con. i was there on the southern barrier with gaza. the white house says us president joe biden put israeli leader benjamin netanyahu on notice during the latest phone call, telling him it's time to lower the intensity of the conflict. part of a statement reads that the president conveyed to the prime minister that he expected a significant de escalation and today on the path to a cease fire. nothing yahoo there says he's determined to continue operations and garza until his rails objectives a met. the u. n. chief spokesman was asked about the yahoos response. well, not addressing it directly. he repeated calls for com. we want to see a stop to the fighting. as soon as possible, we want to stop the fighting. immediately. there needs to be a halt to the aerial attacks to the rockets, to the artillery strikes, going from one side to the other. civilians need to be able to live in peace. we

need to get that humanitarian aid into, into gaza for our part or a special coordinator tour. venice salon is actively engaged with all sides on the ground in order to work towards that end. altera suffered alkaloid in gaza has worn out on how speculation about a possible ceasefire is building days early, early size, more selective than the previous night, at least. so 5 people are chasing and following all the news or the reports coming from different directions, it's really out of the media. as we 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, the putting an on grove or firing less rocket in the u. s. congress. one alexandria, because cortez and other democrats have introduced a resolution opposing the sale of $375000000000.00 in military weaponry to israel. cortez treated the united states should not be rubber stamping weapons sales to the israeli government. as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets, schools, hospitals, she manage very admissions and civilian sites for bombing allison in american congresswoman rashida to live has also treated her support for the measures saying

no more weapons to kill children and families, enough alone. oh mom, another vocal congressional critic added, even if the current escalation wasn't raging, congress should be questioning the sales of these types of weapons to israel. let's get bold out from out to cirrus hydro castro joint a slide from washington. a could this resolution block the sale of arms to israel, heidi injury in a word? no, because this is a resolution that was merely introduced today by that liberal wing of the democratic party, some of the congress women who you just quoted. and if this were to advance in the house, all it achieves is voicing a non binding objection to this arm sale which was already reached between the by ministration and israel. this is money paid to boeing, the maker of the so called smart bombs,

their precision guided missiles that the buyer administration has already approved to sell to israel. all of that happening before this crisis developed acutely. the congress was actually informed of this deal going through prior to this recent escalation and violence in the middle east. and so congress has 15 days to voice and objection will today is actually the 2nd to last day. and if you just look at the congressional calendar, there is simply no way that this resolution, even if it had the political clout behind it could advance in such short time to meet tomorrow's deadline. the less evidence, more evidence that the left of the democratic party is ramping up. the pressure on president binding that's right, because there are at least getting this as the talking point. they're bringing more awareness to calls increasingly more local from the left for the bite

administration to take a more bold step. not just these measured out statements in which the president at 1st didn't outright declare his support for us to cease fire. he didn't demand one rather he said he supported a ceasefire now incrementally, moving more towards stronger language and the more most assertive words that we've heard thus far him st. biden's saying that he wanted a de escalation from israel today. well, we saw the rejection of that from israel's prime minister, and that is certainly open the by ministration to further criticism that he is doing too little at this point. and that he needs to be more demanding and also call for an immediate cease fire as so many other world leaders have done. how does your customer reporting live from washington? how many, thanks indeed that's been violence in the israeli city of alpha,

home after the killing of a 17 year old palestinian israeli boy, mohammed k one died from his injuries after being shot in the head by security forces. lease use tear gas to disperse warners who gathered outside his family home . and in the past hour or so is really strikes of hit more targets in garza, this time in the southern city of con eunice, the u. an agency, the palestinian refugees says that money is needed immediately to help people suffering in garza's humanitarian crisis. unwrap is asking for $38000000.02 pay for food. other basics and health and psychological support for the vulnerable, especially women and children. the you and says 56000 people have been displaced since israel from barbara began last week. the agencies also pushing for aid workers to be allowed in almost one point. 9000000 people live in garza and 1400000 of the palestinian refugees. most of whom have come from territories occupied by

israel doug is witnessing a, another nightmare witness said, your magic and you decide the situation and got it. so the doctor that goes over, you know, and with he'd be earth and likes actually here. and it is we work with researchers and we have of delays for them to tell us that living in the guns for 2 of them are repeating. so whenever it got with its ro, garza, there are people killed and there are people injured. and we have home, back to earth, we have family that says now on their home this because they have the home anymore. and it until now has more than 1200 and plenty of it including 68 children and 38 women and 60 and if they're the man. so the

tuition is together is very dangerous and reading it. 5 you know, it gets the bill in front of it. it's even bought was applied even the internet connection has got the, you know, my, our power on both ours included even international agencies, language center training centers. and oh, these more to come on out here after a look at some of the images and sounds that we've seen during more than a week of bombardment in garza and rocket far into israel. 2 0, the me, me

the news. hello, the weather's been very warm across east and parts of north america race and they receive a lively showers across the southern parts banging away. they're just around the texas louisiana surround the mississippi valley, drawing in the winds from a southerly direction out of the gulf of mexico. and that wolves has been extending its way right up across the midwest into central parts of canada. will see temperatures from when it pick, still getting up to around 25 celsius. make the most of that into the 30s. there it was. east coast, you know, to cyber towards northwest. this is where that cooler area and that's going to make inroads as we go through the next tire size of the mountain states. so you could

covering a snow temperature struggling to reach for celsius in calgary, just a couple of days ago we were getting into the high teams that something was shocked if you, 17 celsius there for when he passed that line of cloud and rain now makes his way up across the plains, pushing into the prairies, pushing into central parts of canada, stays warm to the east of that, and we'll hang onto that wall. does he go on through the remainder of the week, but the wet weather will start to make some in raise some really heavy right? could cause more like less flooding to southern parts of the u. s. notice a mix of wintry showers up towards the mountain states. western parts of canada for the caribbean, just looking little unsettled across the greater antilles. fine to the east. ah, a life and death struggle for racial equality in a deeply unequal society. unfortunately, that was fine for the apartheid regime within that group. they've been very close friends like a family living together over 50 years after this torture and death in police

custody. g 0 world tells the remarkable story of anti apartheid campaigner in them after my her or i south africa, the man fought apartheid on a jazz. oh the me again this is l 0. the main news this our efforts to secure a cease fire between israeli and palestinian groups appear to be gaining traction while both sides publicly se they'll fight on secret negotiations are said to be on the way and a phone call us president joe biden has told israel's prime minister, the lower the intensity of the conflict in the past are israeli strikes has hit

more targets in garza, this time in the southern town of con eunice. more than 220 palestinians have been killed in gaza since the conflict began among them. more than 60 children, that's been violence and the way the city of $400.00 after the killing of a 17 year old palestinian israeli boy mamma, one died for his injuries are being shot at the head in the head by security forces . police use tear gas to disperse mourners who gathered outside his family hope in the lead up to the conflicts, social media networks were accused of deliberately censoring palestinian content from their platforms. facebook instagram and twitter blamed technical errors for deleting posts on forced expulsions of palestinian families in the shape java neighborhood. and much of the content showing the israeli raid on the alex a mosque compound was also blocked. some data rights groups, according for greater transparency. they say that discriminatory algorithms at the

leasing accounts, blocking posts and flagging content that shows the unrest. in response facebook a set up a center to monitor content on the conflict. it includes arabic and hebrew speakers who identify posts that violate its policies and restore those it says were removed in error. ashcroft a tune is facebook's former head of public policy for the middle east, north africa, regent. he john just now live via skype, from here into how good to have with us. do you buy into this rogue algorithm technical era and mistakenly restricted defense being put forward by social media companies. hi adrian ser pleasure. i honestly don't buy into it. i think this is something that's not new. i think it's a fluid deployed by facebook senior management whenever that under pressure. and i'm sure this was done due to the public outcry by the community futures. activists, civil society and media gets facebook, deliberate, and systematic violence,

implementing invoices. i don't think the 1st time, not will it be the last 5 on social media algorithms discriminatory and if so, why? i think that is a number of factors at the end of the day. these technologies depend on the input that you inserted them when you develop them. and i think the main, the main question is here is how much the influence of these really governments. and it's why i believe there's really government one of the most technologically savvy governments in the, around the world. and they have a special soluble unit that focused specifically on cyber warfare. and i think they've been able to build a strong relationship with israel, with facebook and senior executives. and they've managed talk. this is the digital activists recording for a transparent investigation. but who would conduct such an investigation and require social media companies to comply with its findings? or are they on a hiding or nothing? here the best of social media giants and the policies they rule. yeah,

i don't think the, any of these technological giants will ever allow any outside agencies to be able to look into that algorithm at the end of the day. we need to realize that the business of data and algorithms is the main engine behind it. and it never allow anyone to access into their uses have been coming up with some, some pretty innovative ways to get around censorship. such as by using arabic as it was written 1400 years ago without dots in letters to avoid censorship by algorithm. is that what happens when facebook starts to use human moderators? as it said, it's going to do well, they help or hinder the situation. i think it's a very clever initiative to approach by the activists. and i think that was one of the only way that they can try to circumvent the bias and algorithm. but i honestly don't think it's would work for us for that long, because the technology is used like machine learning, artificial intelligence and algorithms that are going to be upgraded to detect these new formats used by users and to the founder each. ash rough,

really good talk to you, but he, thanks day for being with us ash jose tune. the pleasure. thank you very much. the united nations general assembly will hold a special session on thursday. i'll just here as christian salumi, it tells us what to expect. foreign ministers from a number of countries frustrated by the lack of international response to the ongoing crisis in the middle east, are on their way to new york to attend the special session of the general assembly . the security council has held several meetings on the subject, but has been unable to speak with one voice as a result of objections from the united states. france is the most recent country to propose security council action in this case, and the form of a resolution calling for a cease fire, but with no agreement in sight. the arab group here at the united nations that along with the organization of islamic cooperation called for the special session, 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. moving now to other world views. iran, the stepping foreign minister says the talks to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal and bring us back to the table have progressed well in vienna, under the agreement, iran restricted its nuclear program and exchange for sanctions relief. but its repeatedly breached the terms of the deal. since donald trump pulled us out in 2018, washington says that it's ready to lift many of its sanctions, but tara says that it won't rejoin until all of them are removed. i'll just have to send your body reports from vienna, according to officials here. they are one step closer, but still there is a lot a long way to go before all parties return to for compliance under that 2015 nuclear deal. we just heard from the youth political director who said that the 4th round of talks has wrapped up for the day. and the delegates and deputy for

ministers are now on their way back to their capital to discuss the developments that have been ongoing. here for the past 2 weeks, we heard from the reading deputy foreign minister up with our ship earlier on wednesday. let's hear some of what he had to say. when the more we made good progress in the last 2 weeks during the 4th round of negotiations. but several key matters remain unresolved. that need to be discussed at home. we are to point to be able to get to a conclusion. only a few key matters remained to be discussed. we almost agreed on other issues, including dross. and now it's time to return to the capitals for more consultations, according to the use political direction, enrique mora, who read a statement following their meetings that were wrapped up here on wednesday. there is hope that once for the deputy for ministers come back to the next week,

they will resume talks and he was adamant that there is incentive and a lot of desire for all parties involved to try and get this deal sorted before the elections in iran. on june 18th, there is a real desire to wrap this up as soon as they can reset. of course, this a lot of technical issues that need to be hammered out. some of those have to do with over $1500.00 sanctions. the united states has imposed on their own, on a number of individuals and entities in iran. and that is one of the technical aspects of this negotiations that have been ongoing for the past 2 months. so there is a lot to go through a bit there with each of these sessions that they move forward, official to believe that they're getting one step closer. and then there is a real political will on all parts to try and resolve this issue before elections in iran in new york's attorney general has opened a criminal investigation at a former us president donald trump's business activities. and those of his family members. trump says that he's being unfairly attacked fatty co have reports in

his 1st run for president when his opponent criticized him for possibly not paying federal taxes. donald trump described it like this, so that makes it more 80. but now authorities in new york are looking at whether it was actually criminal, the state attorney general lateesha. james had been looking at possible civil violations that could lead to fines. but now she says she's joining the investigation led by cyrus vance. the manhattan district attorney looking at potential criminal charges. the issue did trump say his properties, like trump tower worth left to the government to pay less tax and then tell banks they were worth more to get loans? tax fraud and bank fraud can carry prison time if convicted, it's entirely possible. the president goes to jail. this has been on the horizon during that campaigns when people were talking about some of these problems with his taxes in particular and at some of the charges. it would also not

surprise me at all to know that at some point there would be federal involvement as well because tax fraud is a federal crime. the former president claims its political retribution in a statement saying, there is nothing more corrupt than an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime. but authorities are pressuring his long time accountant. recently going after the tuition records for ellen, weisel burks, grandchildren at this expensive prep school why silver has worked with authorities in the past getting immunity in exchange for testifying against trumps lawyer michael cohen. but it's not clear if this man, whose believe to know everything about trans finances will or is cooperating. trump is facing widespread legal issues here in washington dc. the attorney general is doing the inaugural committee and his company, alleging that the committee was overcharged dramatically during the duration to use the trump hotel any more than a $1000000.00. just a matter of days while he was in the white house,
