as your world tells the remarkable story of anti apartheid campaigner in, they're mark darma her or south africa, the mammal 4th apartheid on a jazz. ah, in the jubilant things in garza and across occupied palestinian territory as a seaside takes effect after 11 days of conflicts. ah, hello, i'm down, jordan, this is out of there, alive. i'm with extensive coverage of the sci fi between israel and it's happened off the global demands grew louder, including a passionate, please of the un general assembly. if cities,

the hell or nurse is the lives of children in gaza, doing the 65 children are among 233 pallets to me and killed me. bombardments of god 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 when it's just after 7 in the morning there 5 hours off to the start of a ceasefire between israel and how much it ends to end 11 days of conflict during which garza was pounded by randy as strikes and thousands of palestinian rockets were fired towards israel. at least 233 palestinians died. 65 of them children. 12 people died in israel,

but palestinian and celebrated into the night. cheers went up in garza warehouse. officials gave speeches, praising what they're calling a victory against israel. the celebration who in the occupied way traffic was born in bethlehem. and this is how it looked earlier in ramallah central square people fill the streets, chanting with souls and blood. we redeem you god and fireworks were set up in the occupied east. jerusalem neighborhood of shakira. efforts to forcibly expel palestinians from their homes. there were a significant fact intentions that set off the fighting 11 days ago. and these are the pictures from the alex a must compound where there were celebrations after morning. prayers. clashes in the compound were a significant factor in the lead up to the conflict. well, here's our coverage team, harry force that is in western roseland. we'll go to him shortly. but 1st to,

you know, outside in gaza you my so how people there been responding at the news of the ceasefire. hi, darren. well, here in the gall, this trust people are very much drilled when the fire to a started. so riley treat people came out and rally. they visited the homes of the people who were killed in the russian and they went to the towers where destructed, they chance to god is great or a law. but lots of people from their balcony is celebrated by firing fireworks and whistling and chanting more and more. so the white most fear was very much that people were very much happy and thrilled. and most of the people who were in the schools a returned right at that time to their homes. again, even though of course,

for the people who had not fully or had not their homes fully destructed and were still witnessing people who are returning back to their homes in these times. and you know, yet again the destruction in gaza is widespread. so one of the challenges that lie ahead now for the people have got to rebuild their homes and their lives. well, it's actually a downhill challenge. i mean, we're talking about the rebuilding of a strip or a territory that he's already suffering like dire economy situation. a high end employment rate, the crisis of the outbreak white spread of the corona virus. we're talking about already. the difficulty is that the gaza strip suffers from entering the material reconstruction material, the lack of fuel. and now now having these amounts of

destruction that has happened in the, in the gaza strip, due to the rates and having to rebuild roads, infrastructure, power, power lines, and lots of also, schools were than 50 schools and like the amount of destruction that needs to be rebuilt in d as a humanitarian conditions and living conditions that people are living in here causes a great, a great challenge to these people. i mean, the cap ability is also and availability in the gaza strip for the rebuilding off everything that has been destructed is very much like limited, let's say limited specially because of the closer or the closure of the crossing borders and not allowing the needed materials for reconstruction and rebuilding again. so this is, this is basically why there is going to be

a lot of challenges for the people, the amounts of homes. i mean from since the 2014 aggression. that was all because the strip until before this aggression people, some people had not yet had their homes reconstructed. you know, they were living in ranch and the other whole. so you can see how much we're, we're, we're in 2021. and that was since the 2014 aggression so how many years and they have not had their homes rebuild it. okay. now started happening to the thank you very much indeed. you know, thank you. well, there's been skepticism among some israelis, intel of eve. the fire is good for humanitarian reasons to let the civilians the 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. know anything,

no agreements 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 kill our people. it's like a bit too. it's like it's good that. 6 will end, but unfortunately i don't feel like we have much time for for the next escalation. you came here tonight because we want to call for an immediate this bar. we want to stop that tech guys. there's really a tech and straight away because it's costing too many lives on both sides of civilian and harry force that joins us live now from western some hiring. so finally a fee after $11.00 days of fighting. what does this mean on the ground? the well, so far it means that it is holding there, there would be no rockets out of gaza,

no strikes into gaza since the, to a local timing for the sci fi. there were some exchanges in the run up to that. on the israeli side, one reported injury close to gaza. as for the political side, i mean, it means that the israeli government is saying that it is set back hamas considerably with round off the round of target. it strikes on military infrastructure as it puts it. of course, we've all seen the civilian toe and the civilian infrastructure as well being hit. but as far as this is concerned, it says it is inflicted serious blows. the defense minister saying it's taken us back, they are denying the israelis, the hamas claim that there is anything in this sci fi to do with jerusalem. i'm just saying that it is seen guarantees given to it about the behavior of israel in the neighborhood of sex euro and also in the alex or mosque known as the temple

mount to jews that they have stayed is really aggression both those places these raise a saying that is alive and harry, this is only brings an end to the current fighting. it won't stop conflict breaking out again. what happens next? well, i think that is the big question. just heard that in those sound bites for people on the streets intelligence there is. i think a lot of concern and questioning is to exactly where this is got anybody apart from, with more destruction, more death. and now kind of back to where we were before this all took place. certainly as i say, the defense minister says that there's been a setting back of how much this capabilities restoring of is ready to terrance. and that it will take them years to sort of pose this kind of threat again. however, that's been said before. and this is unfortunately

a pretty cyclical chain of events. and so there isn't much optimism at this point that this is in any way decisive it's, it's taking as far as these records are concerned, we that they will be examining to make sure that there are no further attacks and that they will respond if there are a masters saying the same thing that it had a major attack in store, but it is waiting to see if there is any further israeli aggression. so both sides, both just monitoring, waiting to see what happens next. neither really appears to have gained a significant military victory in, in most of the analytical terms, i suppose how much may have gained politically in terms of the support that is now seen to this, this action and the sort of victory celebration is you've seen our buddies jerusalem and across the palestinian territories in terms of its competition with

the house, you know, 30 and with the facts are faction. but but yes, i think that the biggest cost is obviously in human life in the sense of insecurity . and that still remains after the cease fire or force at life or there in western islam. harry, thank you. when he was president joe biden, welcome the sci fi saying his administration worked tirelessly behind the scenes gable as on that as 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, who were calling on biden, to pressure prime minister benjamin netanyahu to pursue more aggressively a ceasefire. so ultimately, when biden did announce the 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 disorder, pro long conflict we've seen in previous years when, how still he's 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've committed to working for it. the question now becomes as well, the biden administration use this opportunity to pursue peace with israel and palestine in the region. we are getting late word now that secretary of state antony blinking will be heading to the region in the coming days to meet with both 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. well, my daughter is a political analyst and member of the national policy council of the arab american institute. he says, washington has been complicit in prolonging the conflicts. washington holds the primary responsibility here because it is the only country that holds significant leverage over israel and is able to influence his behavior. but also it's not just a matter of allowing israel to behave, however, once or not, but the united states is specifically funding these really military with billions of dollars every single year. no other country gets more money and military funding than, than israel does. and then the united states run interference at the united nations by using its feet to more than 40 times to veto, to block resolutions that would hold is real accountable at the united nations. so in effect, the united states is complicit and is responsible for the fact that nobody can hold

israel accountable for its behavior. and that have to change. and we are seeing that it is beginning to change with that energy and the democratic party. now, with the discourse shifting substantially within the united states, more celebrities speaking out in defense of palestinian rights and members of congress now from from president biden's own party, demanding that he hold israel accountable and have a different kind of politics. things are changing, people are becoming much more aware. there is much more energy within congress itself at this point where people are not afraid to speak up in defense of policy and right, i'm not and are not afraid to challenge the israel lobbies influence in washington . and are demanding that the binding ministration make good on its claim that it's putting human rights 1st. if the biden is going to claim the human rights come 1st in american foreign policy, then you cannot continue supporting israel, oppression, and crimes against palestinians. well, before the fire was announced, the un general assembly held a special meeting to discuss the crisis more than 90 countries signed up to speak. christian salumi reports now from the united nations,

11 days into the violence and just hours before reports of a cease fire emerge. the united nations general assembly gathered to address the fighting between israel and gaza. meeting was led by the un secretary general. the fighting is left thousands of palestinians, homeless and forcible with $50000.00 people, believe their arms and seek shelter. the wound was schools, mosques, and other places with little excess to water, food i gene or l services. i was already fired by report that 9 members of one family were killed in all shot the refugee camp. if that he's a hell or nurse. it is the lives of children in gaza today. speaker after speaker condemned what they called, the disproportionate israeli strike that killed more than $200.00 palestinians and left 1000 displays in the face of such international criticism ways relevant, bassett, or to the un was combative. every speaker here today that failed to unequivocally

condemn come us that fell to distinguish between commerce is war, crime and israel self defense the choosing to demonize these rather than supporting its heroic efforts to dismantle komatsu tear it. infrastructure is only strengthening extreme. it for says, palestine foreign minister took on israel self defense argument. why not asylum? i would like to ask you, what would you do if your territory was occupied? if your people were displaced, if your people were killed, detained, arrested, and persecuted. how can an occupying power have the right to defend itself when a whole people under occupation is the price of that very same right? document in a speech turkeys. foreign minister also took aim at the muted public response of israel staunch allied the united states. and just museum, we will not remain silent in the face of unspeakable atrocities and brutality. because we know that silence in the face of injustice equals to being an accomplice

to the crimes committed. he who remained silent in the face of injustice is a new devil boxes, the comments that drew ever beaut from the us ambassador to the united nation. we have not been silent. in fact, i don't believe that bears any country working more urgently and more fervently toward peace. this is not a slight and it is not silence. it's a fact. palestine foreign minister, later welcome news of the seas fire, but warned of the ongoing underlying issue of israel's continuing occupation of palestinian land an issue. he encouraged world leaders to work harder to resolve. kristen, so we may al jazeera, the united nations was speaking out of the cease fire was announced content as urged both sides to stick to it. i welcome the ceasefire between gaza and israel.

after 11 days of deadly cities. i extend my deepest condolences to the victims of the violence and their loved ones. i commenced egypt and katara for the efforts carried out in close coordination with un to help restore, come to gods and israel. i stressed that israeli and palestinian leaders ever responsibility on the restoration of come to start to see this dialogue with the rest root causes of the conflicts. so let's take a look back at some of the events that directly lead to the surge of violence. exactly 2 weeks ago israeli forces and to the alex a mos compound the last a crack down on protest as palestinian threw stones and bustles of police to fire, rubber coated bullets and stung grenades. on the following day, there was more violence and occupied east jerusalem. dozens of people were injured, as israeli police tried to clear groups gathering in the area. and at the heart of the recent unrest has been the shifter on neighbourhood where palestinian families could be forced out of their homes to make way for jewish settlers. when it's ready

for his launched a 2nd rate on the alexa moscow on may 10th during pres how mass than fight a barrel of rockets into israel. with his ready forces responding with air strikes him and con reports now from west, through slim on the past day. of fighting this is generally a refugee camp in gaza when israel occupied their homes in 1948. palestinians came here and sought shelter. and they've been here ever since. right now, the camp houses around 90000 people most were born here and they've never seen that harris old homes. now this new generation is also lost. there's around 2 am on thursday the railways was one of the residents of the camp and a phone call that an attack was coming. not just one house, but the whole street, a 3 m. the bombard and struck. the destruction is self evident. use of our day has been married for a year. he took out bank loans to furnish his house. the furniture has been

destroyed, but he says the loans are still there. but and i mean with the, we were sleeping inside the house when we heard shouting, get out, get out the whole living is going to be bombed. we went to the school for sale too, but they were full. so we sat in the streets just waiting the united nations that runs the camp is still assessing the damage if they have enrolled, they also risk hitting civilian infrastructure and my colleagues tell me that water pipes have been damaged in western slum diplomacy continues apace. as the check slovak and german forum, and if there's arrived for a visit, these really foreign ministry is calling this visit one of solidarity. he was all smiles at the podium as a german and he's ready for a minister spoke to one that we have always emphasized the israel has the right to self defense. and israel was now making use of this roy includes preventing the facilities from which attacks when he's ready targets originate from continuing to operate. according to the israeli army,

90 percent of those rockets are destroyed by the iron rocket defense system before they land palestinians. cautiously optimistic about the gyptian broker see fire. after 11 days of intense bombardment, they hope that things may turn to normal. but normal is a relative term for gaza. it remains under israeli lead feet and its problems with food fuel medicine shortages are now even more serious iran car out there. what's teresa and tens of thousands of people have gathered for the funeral of a 17 year old teenager who was reported to killed by israeli security forces in northern israel. the death of mohammed q one comes in height and tension between his radio and palestinian citizens of israel, country lopez, before the in the northern israeli city of whom i saw him. mourners carry the proof of 17 harmon. the key was,

the family says he was shot in the head and killed by under cover is merely officers. the death comes in the writing tension between israelis and palestinians. citizens, israel the day he was shot, lisa, they responded to reports of men who were trying to attack is really murderous. they open fire at a vehicle that had run over a car and they say they're now investigating whether key one was in the car. there was hit the shooting in the streets. there's grief, an outrage. medical response to young people have come from all the very israel and palestine to attend the funeral. i think these rarely security forces intentionally killed him. to scare up the, you said he wants funeral, morphed into a protest against violence and discrimination of palestinian israeli

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 israeli 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 and hebrew, they often complain of systematic discrimination. unfair access to housing, health care and education. the last time violence broke out in sight, israel by palestinian israelis wasn't september 2000 during the 2nd intifada. with many here say this time around, the inter can, you know, unrest is much worse. and regardless of the seats lawyer between hamas and israel, many believe the simmering tensions will not see any claim. kathy, a little bit of a n. now, do you get some other world news now?

in spain is accusing morocco blackmail. over its apparent loosening of border controls. after thousands of refugees and migrants crossed into the spanish enclave of seal this week, spanish police detained as many as 8000 people who swam in to see from morocco, offline fences benefit more from the spanish military is founding god again here at the beach at future just on the other side of the fence is morocco, and it's back around jesse that 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 prohibit gali, 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 far, the only known vitality from that crossing and an indication of the desperate circumstances that there are in morocco 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 now the 8 nations of the arctic council have agreed on a new 10 year strategic plan. but the conference in iceland has highlighted tension between russia and its 7 poland neighbors. brian and explain. the frozen north of our planet has long been the cause of contested rival race. that's been a century since explorers 1st set foot at the north pole. climate change is causing the sea ice to receive dramatically opening up the world's smallest ocean to the globes biggest super pass and to intense geopolitical competition. the arctic

council brings the 8 polar nations together, along with indigenous representatives. and together, for the 1st time, they've agreed a 10 year strategy for cooperation on climate environment or science and maritime safety. the arctic council needs to ensure a stronger attention to indigenous peoples rights and protection of our cultures to ensure the development is truly sustainable. and that no one is left behind. we are committed to advancing a peaceful arctic region or cooperation prevails on climate, the environment, science and safety. and we're sustainable economic development benefits the people of the region. by 2040, it may be possible to sail to the north pole across the open water. but as the region becomes increasingly accessible, economic development, extraction of natural resources and strategic interests are being hotly contested.

russia is expanding and modernizing its military faces along the arctic rim, rebuffing criticism by pointing out that nordic members of the nato alliance, so also bolstering thin military presence in the final visit to see what was a tough place for you. of course, we are mostly concerned about what is happening next to our borders. know why is our closest neighbor with which we have very good relations. however, problems linked to the escalation of military political tension remain because of foreign troops in norway and in the baltic region. if the baltic, you only last month, no way agreed with the united states to all, to see a lot of territorial control in the form of military bases. 4 of them which do not a state have an interest in and obviously the objective is quite quite clear that would like to use this presence in norway in order to challenge russia and arctic. at the end of the council, the ceremonial gabble was passed on to russia, which intends to use its chairman ship to prioritize sustainable development in the

foreigner. but of course, any development strings, environmental impact friction between the natural human worlds and increasingly the possibility of political and even military conflict pull brennan al jazeera. yes, president joe biden and his south korean counterpart will hold their 1st face to face talk to the white house in the coming hours. top of the agenda is north korea . kimberly helped get reports from washington. he was the 1st sitting us president to ever meet with the north korean leader, donald trump, so called love affair with kim jung and was often a shaky rocket man. is on a suicide mission for himself. still, he helped his efforts would change the relationship. washington house was feeling yang for all the hoopla and all the pageantry with the stomach 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 lodge, what it called, the most powerful missile on the planet. a 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 to help with a long term. p. steel says north and south korea are still technically at war. lot or 5 and predecessors fail to achieve one of that officials are playing down any glitzy grand bargain from biden bite. and gould out the possibility of a meeting with 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 ongoing 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 cobra 19 vaccine. sol needs more and they're hoping that president bided can help. kimberly help him algebra. the white house. ah. time for krycek of the headlines here on out there. i see fires an effect between israel and hamas endings and 11 days of conflict that killed at least 233 palestinian 65 of them children. 12 people died in israel. egyptian broke a truce, includes other palestinian factions in garza, such as islamic had.
