ah, we understand the differences in the cultures, the cost around what moves wilson, the news in calling to that matter to you. ready the news the jubilant scenes in garza and across occupied palestinian territory as a sci fi takes effect up to 11 days of conflict. ah, hello, i'm down, jordan, this is out there alive from joe hall with continuation of extensive coverage of the sci fi between israel and when it's happened to global demands
6:01 am
grow louder, including a passion, please. at the un general assembly is that help or nurse? it is the lives of children in gaza today. the $65.00 children are among $233.00 palestinians, kill in the bombardment of gaza compounding and already dia humanitarian crisis. ah, welcome to the program a new day with fresh hope. it stays peaceful across israel and occupied palestinian territory. it's just up to 6 in the morning there. 4 hours off to the start of a sci fi between israel and mass. it aims to end 11 days of conflict during which garza was pounded, buys railey astride some thousands of palestinian rockets, fired towards israel. what palestinian celebrated into the night cheers went up in
6:02 am
garza where i'm asked. officials gave speeches, praising what they're calling a victory against israel. the celebration who in the occupied westbank traffic was to him. and this was how it looked earlier in ramallah central square people fill the streets, charging with souls and blood. we redeem you god. the fireworks set off in the occupied east. jerusalem neighborhood have shut off efforts to forcibly evict palestinians from their homes. there was a significant factor intention that set up a fighting 11 days ago and they've been celebrations after morning. prayers and the alex a mos compound fighting here beginning 2 weeks ago, also feels unrest in the lead up to the conflict out 0 stuff. what alkalis is in garza with reaction, riley's industry celebration, celebrating all over the gaza strip. we had the quick,
6:03 am
we went to the state ourselves to see we could see people who had been seeing in doors for live in live in nights now deployed into steve to the breaking the mouth, shall put a little higher. i also give a speech of victory as the skies are on the bus by destroyed then she'll area, it's the that was bombarded by those that are on this family called i'll call it the last 46 over 5000000 members and attack. so that was simple, the celebration on morning as well by official also in thousands of people they, they went to visit the house of the general commander of the thump. again, the military command, the command, the military of how much somebody gets in fun unit in the south of the gods. so we could see a lot we could hear the water shooting
6:04 am
a lot that the greatest all these the celebration is that they were supposed to celebrate it during the fish that follows that on that they couldn't do it. we could hear them today as if they were celebrating the face of the one that followed drama on well, the skepticism among some israelis, intel of eve, the cease fire is good for humanitarian reasons. so that the civilians relax a little bit on both sides. i'm skeptical though that it will really be kept for a while. i don't think israel has achieved much there. know anything? no agreement about the future? nothing in the fire won't last 8 hours. they will start shooting gus rockets again and they will just try to
6:05 am
peel our people. it's like a big it's like it's good that the conflict land, but unfortunately i don't feel like we have much time for, for the next escalation. you came here denied because we want to call for in the media at the bar. we want to stop the tech and there's really a tech and straight away because it's costing too many lives on both sides of civilians. well, there were more israeli and strikes in the hours before the sci fi and there was rocket fire towards israel. the truth broken by egypt includes other palestinian factions in garza, such as the islamic jihad group, where the conflict claimed at least $233.00 palestinian lives in garza, including $65.00 children. 12 people have been killed in israel, while the world has grown increasingly vocal in demanding an end to the bloodshed. un chief antonio teddy has told the general assembly. but if there is helena,
6:06 am
it is the lives of children and gossip. speaking out for the sci fi was announced, but ted is urged both sides to speak to it. i will come to cease fire between gaza and the israel, after 11 days of deadly cities. i extend my deepest condolences to the victims of the violence and their loved ones. i command egypt and katara for the efforts carried out in close coordination with un to help restock come to gods and israel. i stressed that israeli and palestinian leaders ever responsibility on the restoration of cone to start a serious dialogue with the root causes of the conflicts when he was president joe biden, also welcome the ceasefire saying his administration work tirelessly behind the scenes. gabriel is under has more now from washington d. c. president joe biden had come under increased pressure over the last week to do more to try to stop the violence, particularly with progresses within the democratic party,
6:07 am
who were calling on biden, to pressure prime minister benjamin netanyahu to pursue more aggressively a ceasefire. so ultimately, when biden did announce that cease fire, he wanted to show that the u. s. was very much involved in it and wanted to take some credit. we've held intention, high level discussions our by our literally egypt, palestinian authority and other middle eastern countries with the name of avoiding the sort of pro long conflict we've seen in previous years when, how still these broken out. i believe the palestinians and israelis equally deserved to live safely and securely and enjoy equal measures of freedom, prosperity and democracy. my administration will continue our quiet, relentless diplomacy toward that end. i believe we have a genuine opportunity to make progress and i'm committed to working for the question now becomes his world abide and ministration. use this opportunity to
6:08 am
pursue peace with israel and palestine in the region. we are getting late word now that secretary of state anthony blink. and we'll be heading to the region in the coming days to meet with both the israelis and palestinians, and regional players to pursue some sort of peace agreement where these meetings will take place. and with exactly whom is still unknown, but it does give an indication that at least in some degree, by and does want to seize this opportunity to pursue a more lasting piece in the region. so let's bring something to show hotter. he's an associate professor of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma. he joined us via skype from norman in oklahoma. somebody great to be back with us again. so let's be cautious here, a sci fi and place, but surely returned to the status quo. once satisfy the palestinian community, what happens now? well, that's completely correct. and of course what that implies is that the underlying
6:09 am
conditions that lead to this latest configuration are still there. whether it is the, the, the possible evictions of palestinians from their homes in east jerusalem or increased settlement or increased israeli action and the dispossession of palestinians and the occupation and the blockade of garza. so you are correct that all of the underlying conditions of the immediate situation, the 11 day war and the larger palestinian israeli conflict, or have not been addressed have not been saw. so it is likely that in the future we don't know when a year or 2 or 3 or 4 when mister netanyahu or another israeli government seeks to do something egregious. that something like this will happen again and some of your egyptians. so you can give some context and perspective to my next question. we saw the egyptians on the guitar is take point and pushing procedure via how critical was their role in getting this the fire deal. i think it was critical and you know,
6:10 am
to be fair. the egyptians deserve credit. of course, for their efforts as do the cut to reason the united nations of the secretary general said, and i think particularly with regard to this cease fire. and it's because the by that ministration has not been interested in addressing the palestinian israeli conflict. and in fact, as the world watched, the bind administration vetoed the security council resolutions and refused. in the 1st days when the death toll was mounting to put pressure on israel. so the egyptians and others deserve significant credit. and of course, the biden administration, as all american administrations did not engage with mass because they considered a terrorist group. so it's only countries like egypt and cutter and so on, that can address the israelis high math, other groups in gaza and so on. and the americans that really can have the leverage
6:11 am
required to bring the hostilities to an end. i'm not, that's an important point to make somebody because i'm going to ask you what about the broader us role here because this conflict clearly, court washington on the defensive president biden didn't see the palestinian israeli conflict that important. anyway, that's completely correct then of course, you know, we need to be fair to some extent, but we also need to be critical. biden has his hands full, whether it's dealing with the cova pandemic of the american economic recovery issues with china, race relations in the united states. so there are a lot of issues at the same time. he's come into office not wanting to further engage in the middle east with regard to this situation, palestine, israel, or others. and you're right, it caught them off guard, they don't want to get engaged. unfortunately, i think to the detriment of the people in the region and hopefully this will be a wake up call that the united states needs to get engaged,
6:12 am
but needs to get engaged in and even handed balanced, fair manner that you know, respects life, palestinian and israeli life equally, just for final thought, your family, i mean, we saw a pressure from congress and within the democratic party itself to reach a cease fire. is this pressure from the progressives within the policy? do you think likely to lead to any meaningful change in the way the u. s. views this crisis? i think it will, it might not necessarily do so immediately right now. it might not even do so during the by the administration. but you're right to point out that this was a new and really i think worthwhile, worthwhile and interesting development that shows that the, by the administration is even out of touch with much of the american public. that we saw pressure in the united states from the democratic party, to put pressure on mister netanyahu to call for a more even handed policy,
6:13 am
and to call for an immediate cessation of violence, much more progressive than the by the administration's own policies. so i'm going to show how to always good to talk to you. thank you very much indeed on it. my pleasure. now tens of thousands of people have gathered for the funeral of a 17 year old teenager who was reported be killed by ready security forces in northern israel. the death of mohammed kuwan comes amid height and tension between israelis and palestinians. citizens of israel came up as what a young resort. yeah. in the northern israeli city of whom i mourners carry the proof of 17 year old home and he want. the family says he was shot in the head and killed by under cover is really officers. the death comes amid writing tension between israelis and palestinians. citizens, israel,
6:14 am
the day he was shot, lisa, they responded to reports of men who were trying to attack is really murderous. they opened fully read a vehicle that had run over a car and they say they're now investigating with their key one was in the car that was hit in the shooting in the streets. there's grief and rage. my father is far too young. people have come from over israel and palestine to attend the funeral. i think that these rarely security forces intentionally killed him. to scare of you said he wants funeral, morphed into a protest against violence and discrimination of palestinian his ring. as long as there is provocation against us and our religious sites, it will be a difficult situation. there is provocation from the settlers who are being supported by the is really government. we are protesting because we have our dignity, dignity is the only thing we have now. palestinian citizens of israel make up 20 percent of the country's population. most people who live in my father speak arabic
6:15 am
and hebrew. they often complain of systematic discrimination. unfair access to housing, health care and education. the last in violence broke out in sight. israel by palestinian israeli was on september 2000 during the 2nd intifada with many hearsay, this time around, the inter communal unrest is much worse. and regardless of the seats lawyer between hallmark and israel, many believe the simmering tensions will not see any claim. kathy, a little bit of the yeah. now do you well, garza's already week infrastructure has been shattered by the 11 days of bombardment by israel. about 450 buildings have been either destroyed or damaged. that's according to a you an estimate. and that includes $16800.00 housing units. nearly 2000 of them have been flattened. 18 hospitals and clinics were hit. among them were garza's
6:16 am
only covered 1900 lab. now unable to process tests, 66 schools have been damaged. that includes 2 kindergarteners and a un vacation training facility. damage to electricity lines and networks means the average power supply has been reduced to 3 or 4 hours. and 3 water treatment plans have also been effected to spending service to about 400000 people. well national sha, where is a humanitarian worker who lives in garza city. she says, a sci fi doesn't translate to a return to piece for the palestinian see, fire does not mean that situation. go back to 2 piece or 2 of many to the normal situation or the what, what it's supposed to be the same as a normal situation, because that is on the siege with the tuition and it'll fit in which part of that we would like to continue we know about some continuous iterative policies to as bad as billions across the board in, in the west bank in, in, in june. then we'll get into that the week after
6:17 am
a month after the earlier things will go back to how they used to be. and that's honestly a huge concern, of course there's a lot of a lot of relief because we have been bombarded like in the past and new and so intensely so heavily that i'm so glad that i didn't have the roof and my kids are still ok. i'm trying to keep, to keep been seen as much as possible under the current affairs of how and, and it's behaving. and that has know, that hasn't been any justice done to the palestinians. and unfortunately at all levels and the best level and we see and we have the last hope that we are not on the same in the same value as,
6:18 am
as how it's ryan eighty's interest. so unfortunately, we, we do appreciate the great initiative. yeah. but we have no, how can i say i trust in, in all of that? well, across the world for days now, they've been protest in solidarity with people in garza, this is pakistan's largest city, karachi protest is demanded. the end was rarely asked, right. don requested a special session of the us stop human rights body on the situation in the occupied palestinian territories. and that'll happen next week in geneva. and hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the us embassy in indonesia, capital jakarta, edge washington to take a stand in support of palestinians. the world's largest muslim majority nation does not have diplomatic ties with israel palestinians in lebanon. many of them descendants of those who fled the 1948 war, watched the violence from
6:19 am
a far protesting was all they could do. but as they know how to report some bay route, they sense a new reality has been created where he, the us was, has never set foot in his homeland, but he holds on to his palestinian identity. he was born in lebanon over the decades. the 51 year old has watched his fellow palestinians fight israeli occupation at 1st with stones and now with long range rockets. but he says the conflict now is a turning point in their struggle. that can excuse him, him. i won't say israel's, because this is our land. so i say palestinians living in villages occupied since 948 played a critical role. the fact that they have now revolted will hoping israeli generations of palestinians have grown up in exile, descendants of many of those who left or were expelled during the 1948, palestinian israeli war. many have felt helpless and powerless as they watched the deadliest violence in years in the occupied palestinian territories. but at the
6:20 am
same time, they feel the narrative is changing. recent events have highlighted the underlying reasons behind the repeated cycles of unrest and violence. the fact that there is a people oppressed suddenly real, a lot has changed. the world is reacting. there is support for the palestinian people who seeing the injustices day and you will know that there is an occupation for they know we have a comb, a cause that has not gone away. the latest violence was not confined to gaza and palestinians in the west bank occupied jerusalem and across israel mobilized a few months ago when we visited this camp, the feeling among palestinians was different. they had lost hope when some arab countries find the normalization deals and established pies with his ro, the trump administration called it the dawn of a new middle east. they now tell us the palestinians who are resisting our,
6:21 am
showing the world. those accords won't bring peace to israel. little hi, hausteen's not relying on rulers, but the people who are filling the squeeze from the united states to arab countries to europe carrying the palestinian flag now remains did 1st. people live except to be received or humiliated. essays out of the attack on the uk, some mosque and attempts to drive more palestinians from their homes in jerusalem triggered the latest round of violence. but the policy of explosions dates back to 1948 of mohammed who is older than the state of israel is living proof than their elders. either they root some other world news. now, in spain. as choosing morocco, blackmail, it's a parent loosening of border controls up to thousands of refugees and migrants crossed into these spanish enclave of seal this week. spanish police detained as many as a 1000 people who swam in to see from morocco or climbed fences. bennett smith is
6:22 am
in the field stuff. the spanish military standing guard, again here of the beach it see you to just on the other side of the fence is morocco. and it's bare around the jesse, the thousands of migrants cross earlier this week. and the ability with which they so easily cross seems to have been influenced by how the moroccans on the other side decided to enforce or not enforce. border security. morocco is displeased by decision of the spanish authorities to allow entry to spain the hospital treatment to him. golly, he's the leader of the policy mario front. it seeks independence from a rock and run western sahara. but this event is not gone without tragedy. earlier today, a body washed up on the beach here. so of all the only known fatality from that crossing and an indication of the desperate circumstances that there are in morocco
6:23 am
and elsewhere in northern africa. and yet another indication of how people a desperately trying to leave those countries in search of a better life in your yes, president joe biden has signed into law. the anti hate crime legislation to address arise and attacks against asian americans during the pandemic. it seeks to speed up investigations into hate crimes and make reporting easier for victims, expand public education campaigns and boost justice department resources and police training. joe biden and his south korean counterpart moon j and will hold their 1st face to face toward the white house and coming out the top of the agenda is north korea biden's, trying to strike a balance between donald trump's leader to lead a diplomacy and brock obama's arms length approach gimme a health care force from washington. he was the 1st sitting us president to ever meet with the north korean leader. but donald trump, so called love affair with kim jung and was often shaky rocketman, is on
6:24 am
a suicide mission for himself. still, he helped his efforts would change the relationship washington house with young yang for all the hoopla and all the pageantry, with the summers between the president, trump and north korean leadership. and all of the boasts about how things were going change for the better. and did nothing really change at all, and essentially we're back to square one just before the new president joe biden was inaugurated in january, north korea launch what called the most powerful missile on the planet. stark reminder, appealing gangs, desire to continue its weapons program as byte and prepares for his 1st white house meeting with south korean leader moon j n. north korea hangs over every discussion. i think that i know, given the timing with with moon possibly at the end of the term, i think he wants to get something done quickly. south korean president needs biden
6:25 am
to help with a long term. p. steel says north and south korea are still technically at war. moderate, 5 in predecessors failed to achieve what that officials are playing down any glitzy grand bargain from biden bite. and gould out the possibility of a meeting we can tell none of the north. i mean is that even a possibility? i don't expect that to be top on his agenda for the past week. americans attention has been mostly focused on the in crisis in gaza and israel. that may be a distraction from the meeting. one area where the to leaders can reach a deal is on cobit 19 vaccine. sol needs more and they're hoping that president biden can help. kimberly help hit al jazeera, the white house. at least a 100 people are now confirmed dead after pop of psycho hit india's western coast. the indian navy has recovered 49 bodies from an oil barge. the sun during side on
