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. and several of us democrats of back to resolution opposing the sale of $735000000.00 in military weaponry to israel. precious mounting from within the us presidents and party for his administration to do more to end the violence. how does your castro has more now from washington d. c. in his 4th conversation with the israeli prime minister since the current violence began us president joe biden said he expected a significant and immediate de escalation on a path to a cease fire. he was the most assertive language toward israel publicly used by the white house, but it was clearly rebuffed as the bombardment of garza continued. he is really,

leadership understands that this is ultimately a bluff, that there's not going to be action put where there are only words and therefore they are create. they are completely free to carry on with their massive assault against got the civilian population. that is absolutely devastating. the united states has so far resisted international pressure to drawing other world leaders in calling for an immediate cease fire despite pressure. also, building from within. in washington, liberal members of biden's own party urged us to take a stronger stance. i believe we must stand in solidarity with those palestinians and israelis working to build a future of equality and peaceful co existence and not with the intolerant extremists on either side who wish to destroy that future.

in this moment of crisis, the united states should be urging an immediate cease fire. a group of democratic members of congress introduced a house resolution calling for the us to hold the sale of 735000000 dollars in guided missiles to israel. representative or sheet to leap tweeted no more weapons to kill children and families. enough and representative alexandria cause jo cortez wrote the united states should not be rubber stamping weapon sales to these really government as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets. schools, hospitals, humanitarian missions and civilian sites for bombing, we have a responsibility to protect human rights. the resolution to block the arm sale to israel is non binding and unlikely to advancing congress, where support for israel among republicans and many democrats remain strong. but among liberals, the growing sense that is real should be held to account,

and us support cannot be unconditional. heidi jo, castro, al jazeera washington. well, the human agency for palestinian refugees says money is needed immediately to help people suffering and garza's humanitarian crisis. it's asking for $38000000.02 pay for food, other basics and health and psychological support for the vulnerable, especially women and children. the un says 72000 people have been displaced since israel bombardment began last week. the agencies also pushing for aid workers to be allowed in almost one point. 9000000 people live in garza and most of those a palestinian refugees. many have come from territories occupied by israel. while the un chief spokesman has repeated calls a. com. we want to see a stop to the fighting. as soon as possible, we want to see a 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 garza, for our part, our special coordinator tour venice line is actively engaged with all sides on the ground in order to work towards that end. well, the united nations general assembly will hold a special session on thursday christian flu. me 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, in the form of

a resolution calling for a cease fire, but with no agreement in sight. the arab group here at the united nations and along with the organization of islamic cooperation called for the special session, hoping to keep a 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. and there's been violence in the rainy city of fall off of the killing of a 17 year old palestinian israeli boy, mom at q on, died from his injuries after they shot him ahead by security forces. police use tear gas to disperse. mona's, who had gathered outside his family home. while in the lead up to the conflict, social media networks were accused of deliberately censoring palestinian content from their platforms. facebook, instagram and twitter all deleted posts about the forced exposure of palestinian families from chef gerra in occupied east jerusalem. the platforms blamed technical

areas for this pictures and video of israeli forces writing the alex mos compound, but also blocked some data rights groups. blame what they describe as discriminatory algorithms. in response though, facebook a set up a center to monitor content on the conflict. it includes arabic and hebrews because he will identify post that violate its policies and restored as for move in era will say to and he's facebook for my head of public policy for the middle east and north africa. he says, social media companies have a history of silencing palestinian voices. i think this is something that's not new . i think it's a fluid deployed by facebook senior management whenever they're under pressure. and i'm sure this was done due to the public outcry by the community of users activists . civil society and media gets facebook, liberty, and systematic violence. simple a thing, invoices, i don't think the 1st time, nor will it be the last 5. 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 rated government and

why i believe that is really government, one of the most technologically savvy governments in the run around the world. and they have a special cyber unit that focus 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 to hack the system. i don't think the, any of these technological giants will ever allow any outside agencies to be able to look into that algorithm ident of the day. we need to realize that good in the business of data and algorithms is the main engine behind it. and they never allow anyone access into their time for a short break here. and just here, when we come back to government protest and to their 4th, we can columbia. we find out why there's no end in sight. and the legal troubles, the former us president donald trump, amounting to florida state ah,

but south of that it is lossy fine, and dry losses, sunshine coming through. right down into south africa, at least for the time being a little more cloud just coming into the western cape as we go on through thursday . and that wet weather will make its way. across the western side of south africa, the southern cape sinks in wet weather. port elizabeth around 24 degrees for thursday afternoon. cool, wet weather setting in for friday and saturday. sponsored call cut on airways, killing the debate. you don't see the picture and amplify your voice. they're only given a certain narrative. the media will miss the true story, know topic it of the table. why in the world, what do we humanize an individual domestic care? this was an illegal occupation of a country. what they're doing is they're removing knowledge vision at the the stream where a global audience becomes

a global community on al jazeera. ah, ah. the back of recap, the top stories here on al jazeera people living in too crowded garza residential neighborhoods, have been warned to leave the homes that of israeli strikes. this is the city skyline right now. one of the targets and isn't far from japanese refugee camp in northern israel, his southern guns with more than a dozen strikes destroying 2 houses. medic say, one person was killed and 7 people wounded in the city of hom units. while both sides publicly, se they'll fight on secret talks are said to be on the way and a phone call us president joe biden has told israel's foreign minister to lower the

intensity of the conflict. in other news, iran's deputy foreign minister says, talks to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal and bring the 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 from pull the us out in 2018 . washington says it's ready to lift many of its sanctions, but tara says it won't rejoin until all of them are removed. me now i'll pick chiefs are trying to reassure people, they'll deliver a safe tokyo games despite mounting opposition and concern the event will trigger a spike in corona virus cases, the international olympic committee wants to send in hundreds of doctors and the head of the event. you to start in just over 2 months, but a group representing more than a $100000.00 japanese doctors and dentist says that's almost impossible because

fewer than 40 percent of its health work as a fully vaccinated congress must lifting the state of emergency at the end of this month is impossible, which means the state of emergency will need to be extended 2 or 3 weeks. and with that, japan would be a society under a state of emergency until the very last minute. when the olympic start in july, i have to say the japanese government can't declare to the entire world as they can hold a safe and secure games. well, the tokyo medical practitioners association has written to the prime minister ja shaheed as to the urging the government to convince the i o. c. to call off the games 3 months into its fascination program. fewer than 4 percent of a $125000000.00 people in japan have received at least one shot, and that's the lowest rate. among wealthy countries feel. couple. if there is a plan to secure 30 medical facilities, that should be 1st allocated to the public. the olympic athletes and the citizens

of japan, a both human beings. so i think they should be treated equally. i don't think it's necessary to secure hospitals specifically for the olympic athletes. so let's bring him down all of it to the forts writer for the japan times. he joins us via skype from tokyo, done good to happy back in the program to look the now seems to be this growing chorus of calls in japan to counselor games. what is the broader public mood now and why are people in japan so worried about this? thank you again for having me. overall, the moved towards the olympics among the public is skewing negative. recent public opinion polls have shown that roughly 60 percent of the public are in favor of cancelling the games versus holding them without any fans versus holding them with a limited number of fans. so over time, the amount, the number of people who are calling games be canceled has gone up. but at this point, the number of people who are calling for the games be postponed is dropping some

pulling services and stop offering that option because it seems like we're too close to that. to happen again. i think everyone's sort of realizing that either it's going to happen or it isn't. yeah, to be further down. japan have seen the explosive spread of, of virus like other asian nations. and it's death rates of $11500.00 a. so that's pretty comparatively low. so do you think recent jumping infections as a rattle the health care system and the public broadly? i think it has. i did for the way that we're currently experiencing help lead to 9 and potentially 10 prefecture is falling under a state of emergency guidelines. we're going back to the stricter limits on restaurants, department stores, malls, sporting events, musical events, theaters, the public is very wary. the public is fatigued by the restrictions

that we've had to live through over the last 15 months or so. and certainly things haven't been as severe in japan as they have in the rest of the world above the public sees the backseat roll out that's happening in the united states. for example, in the united kingdom, they see that like the in other countries is turning normal and competitor that the roll out in japan has been very slow and frustrating to a lot of people's done preparations for the games. a fil, getting ahead though, on the extreme, the tight cobra, 1900 protocols. but what sort of message is old lift down sending abroad to the thousands of international athletes and foreign media who are preparing to descend on japan. i think that athletes are in a very difficult position. they've been training for years to reach this point. this is the height of any athletes career. and they want to come to the host nation and to compete in front of an appreciative audience. and certainly the fact there

is a strong public opinion to get the games does have to be somewhere in the back. their minds are possibly in the front of their minds. and i think that that's something that athletes competing in the game is both locally and from overseas. are going to have to reconcile over the next 2 months or so down. just a final thought to you. i mean for japan, this is all about image really, isn't it? i mean, after spending billions to host the games and counseling it once already the government isn't about to lose face over this. even if the games are poorly attended. i do think that losing faith and reputation has something to do with it. certainly, the money is a big factor, but it is true that japan has been working over the last decade or so to have this be its moment in the sun and for the games to play out like this. even if the games do go on as scheduled with a reduce crowd or possibly behind closed doors,

it isn't going to be the boost for japan's reputation that we were expecting it to be. and that's going to disappoint a lot of people one way or the other down. all of it's always good to talk to you. thank you very much for talking to algebra. now for my brazilian health minister has denied that president jaya both morrow interfered and his work cuz he grappled with a major corona virus outbreak and water willow appeared before the senators on wednesday . he was in charge of the health ministry for 10 months, during which period, the number of deaths sword, unless a windows testimony appeared to shield the president from any blame of the government's handling of the crisis. the european union is easing channel restrictions. the tourists who are fully vaccinated against covered 1911 pastors evals agreed on relaxing the criteria for countries to be considered safe until now that list included only 7 nations imposed strict measures. last year. one of those destinations could be france. the famous cafe terraces reopened in paris on
