topic is off 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, the news israel and how mass agree to a cease fire ending 11 days of fighting that killed more than $200.00 californians abroad. widespread destruction. ah, peter w, watching l 20 lifeline headquarters. here are also coming up. palestinian celebrate the truth and claims victory and the conflict,

but warns it will react to any violations. the us president joe biden welcomes the deal, calling it a genuine opportunity for lasting peace in the middle east. as the u. n. g is all sides to renew dialogue. and in other news reports, the newmark election commission plans to dissolve unfun, sue cheese nationally democracy party ah is 7 as gmc 10 am in the gaza strip for a new day has come with a ceasefire and fresh hopes for an extended break and fighting between israelis and palestinians, this is the gaza skyline. we're going to show you the most recent pictures. it's a very different scene from the last 11 days, where the tell tale signs of bombardment were often seen above the city ceasefire

between israel and hamas came into effect over night. it's hoped it can end almost 2 weeks of a conflict, during which garza was pounded by israeli air strikes. and thousands of rockets were fired towards israel. at least 233 palestinians died. 65 of them were children, and 12 people were killed in israel. this is the news of the seaside was received celebrations broke out in gaza, bethlehem ramallah, and in the occupied east jerusalem neighbourhood, which has been at the center of the most recent tensions families in garza, who'd been sheltering a new enron schools have started returning to their homes after the sea spar announcement, many fled to the schools on the outskirts of garza city. the un says nearly 60000 people have been displaced. correspondence, human, i'll say it joins us live from gaza. you know, we can see the rubble there behind you. and one,

see the happiness that this news begins to filter through the rebuilding operation is going to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. surely. yes, peter, i mean, this is another neighborhood where i am now in big noon. and the neighborhood has been massively destructed so many civilian homes here have been destructed. and not only that, i mean infrastructure also has been badly destructed. here are the water pipe and electricity lines. so basically the people are the residents of this entire neighborhood. and most of the neighborhood, they do not have any water or electricity now, which means that to reconstruct the old, the infrastructure, the roads and the building a great amount of funding needs to be put in these in these areas and neighborhoods so that the residents can re live in them again. now,

the problem is these, these people have both back to their homes because of lack of all human period 8 and services in the school, but are now lacking the basic essentials of life in their home. okay. you know, thanks very much, you know, i'll send you a report in my 1st, they're out of garza, harry force, it joyce's life as well from western them. so harry, the narrative, both sides, claiming a victory here is being built our on our that's right. yes, i mean the israelis to, to start with the saying that the civilian restrictions that have been in place, especially the ones very close to garza, are now being lifted apart from schools. they're saying the military and placements will stay the several days monitoring the ceasefire. and yes, as you say, both the israelis and the leadership of hamas claiming victory,

hamas is saying that it exacted concessions out of israel both in terms of is really activities in your are and on the alex there must compound, known as the temple mount to jews the israelis are entirely denying that saying it is a lie. the israeli line is that hamas has been put back by years. that's what the defense minister benny guns says in terms of these strikes on the tunnels on missile production on senior come on this to in turn, how much is denying that saying that there are men proudly striding through the tunnels as we speak. so that is the situation in terms of the victory claims, the, there is a political criticism of the government of benjamin that you know, from the right one right when political lead a saying with the advanced military and intelligence at his disposal, the only thing that was managed to gain is a sci fi without conditions, so criticism coming in on that front too. and the core issues were a long way away from any one addressing those

indeed, i mean we've seen these, this kind of cyclical nature of these escalations. the smaller ones, maybe every few months, these very big conflicts, maybe every few years but, but yes, i mean, putting aside the claims of victory on either side, it does look like things of merely pretty much gone back to where they were before all this other things that have changed, i suppose is for us it is a way to say, look, we have the people on our side. there are these huge celebrations, not just in gaza, but also in the occupied west bank in occupied east jerusalem. and in some areas of palestinian israeli concentration within israel as well. and so in its political competition with which dominates the palestinian authority of president with us, you can see after the consolation of the elections by of us just

a few weeks ago that this can be seen as some kind of a victory on sort of bold political calculations, but those calculations has to be set aside what the cost is. similarly with israel saying that it is managed to set us back, we're talking about many people dead, many families grieving and a huge economic civilian cost to what's taking place. harry, for the moment. thank you very much for sitting there for us in west jerusalem, while the us president joe biden, welcome to cease by saying his administration worked tirelessly behind the scenes. gabriel elizondo has more now from washington. president joe biden had come under increase 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 biting did announce a 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 of high level discussions our by our literally egypt, palestinian authority, another middle eastern countries with a name of avoiding disorder, pro long conflict we've seen in previous years when, how still it is 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 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. we're now that secretary of state antony blink,

and we'll 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, oh my battle is a political analyst and member of the national policy council that the arab american institute, he says, washington has been complicit in prolonging the conflict. washington holds the primary responsibility here and 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 fee to a more than $40.00 times to veto or to block resolutions that would hold israel accountable at the united nations. so in effect, the united states is complicit. it is responsible for the fact that nobody can hold israel accountable for its behavior, and that has 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 celebrity, speaking out in defense of palestinian rights and members of congress now from from president biden's own party, demanding that he holds 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 and defensive palestinian 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 paleface.

while the un secretary general has urged both sides to respect the truce and renew dialogue to bring about reconciliation and an end to division. i welcome the ceasefire between gaza and the israel. after 11 days of deadly securities, i extend my deepest condolences to the victims of 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 company. still to come for you here on al jazeera concerns, a growing over the paste of south africa vaccination program. as it enters its 2nd wave of cove it and joe biden will hold his 1st face to face me seeing with his south korean counterpart, can the us help the north and the south mend broken,

thomas? ah, ah, it's time for the journey. the weather sponsored by kettle airways. hello, we got lots of lovely, warm sunshine across the mediterranean. that's the good news. elsewhere is lucky sherry and it's cool as well. well, it just down towards the balkans towards the black sea more. whether to just around the, the axis states just pushing a little further eastwards and we got this next area of low pressure, this dart board low rolling in from the atlantic. that's a sort of thing you expect to see in october. not may disappointedly, wet and windy then across much of the purchase off, over the next couple of days and times as winds creep, guston excess of 100 kilometers per hour, some very wet, very windy weather piling in across the british. charles, it will, we can steadily as we go on 3 friday into saturday,

but still very windy and wet and windy weather will tumble down across the low countries through france, into germany, whether there which was at east side of it. but the re still moscow, find it dry temperatures picking up patriot 21 celsius for the south is where the good weather is, the fine and sunny weather for the most part across the med. it's right in northern parts. if i could see a little bit of wet weather over the next day, or 2, a little bit of weather a possibility to just around northern morocco for a time. but some really heavy showers now started to show the hand across west africa that making the y further north with in the coming days. sponsored cattle airways is a very bleak picture for a lot of americans out there. why supremacy? in fact, all of our confusion, you're putting more money into the hands of some workers taking money out of the hands of other workers. everyone goes to their campus and it becomes the us versus down. this is a deal about constraining a nuclear program. the bottom line off the big question. oh, now to the era,

the us is always of interest to people around the world. people pay attention to work with on here. and it's very good at bringing the news to the world from here. oh, the me. welcome back. you're watching out just a line from your top stories, this half hour a ceasefire between israel and how does appear to be holding today? it came into effect on friday after 11 days of fighting was killed. more than 230 palestinians. 12 people died in israel. news of the c spy and has been met with celebrations across the palestinian territories displaced families of started returning home solving news of the truce. us president joe biden has welcome to see

spine, seeing israelis and palestinians deserve to live in peace. he says, washington will continue to support israel militarily and pledged humanitarian aid to palestinians. in garza know the other big story. this half of the political party of me in laws ousted liter uncensored, she is being dissolved by the countries electoral commission mass, according to reports, from some local media outlets that now the commission, which was appointed by military rulers following the qu on, in february, accused the party of electoral fraud, florence louis is fallen development source from quite louis florence was saying the electoral commissions, dissolving the party. we really saying, however, it's the military. that's right. and it really shouldn't come as a surprise the military, when they took of a power in february, it justified its position on the basis of electro fraud. so it's following that line. now, one of the 1st things it did after the coup was detain election commission

officials and investigated senior members. then it appointed its people, people that trust it to the election commission body down. there's new jersey appointed electron election commission held a meeting on friday. and it's chad person said that they've made that decision. this was a meeting attended by political parties as well. but many of the pro democracy parties refused to attend, was attended mostly by the pro military parties. now the chap has in his onset that the election commission intends to dissolve the national league for democracy party . this is a party led by all san suji and at 182 percent of elected seats in last year election. the chair also said that the, the leader will consider the traitors and he said, action would be taken. that's as far as we know. now, it has to be said that no credible election monitoring body has supported the military's claims of electro fraud. in fact, quite the opposite. they were to for an election,

observe the missions in myanmar during the polls last year. and they both said that by and large, the voting and the results result reflected the people's will peter and if uncertain. sue chief lawrence has no political party. does that mean that she has no power and also does this kind of democratically disenfranchised all those people who voted for the party? i think we can say that. i mean it's, i think the military has made it very clear in the last few months, but it intends to hold onto power. we can see that from the actions that it's been taking. many of the top leadership of and l d. 's national lead for democracy, the boy the already been detained or in hiding. some of them have joined the shadow . civilian got a civilian party, a civilian government, the national union union government that they say should be the rightful pos, right? for government in power. but we're not seeing the military,

even intending to have any sort of discussions with pro democracy supporters. i think the military is putting its message across quite here just from its action. the fighting it's doing and it's for the lands. the cracked down on its protest is the military did say that when it took over power in february, but it intends to hold an election. but i think from what we're seeing that whatever election and whatever shape this election takes, it's not going to be one that will be free and for florence, many things. so in st. louis, the report in life was on the developing story from qualon. india's corona virus death told is continuing to rise, but the number of new infections is falling. more than 4200 deaths were reported on friday, while new cases fell by around 15000 on thursday, one of the countries local vaccine makers and as plans to ramp up production. india is facing a severe shortage of jobs with just 3 percent of the population inoculated so far.

corona virus restrictions are back in place, in the se shells following a sharp spike in cases more than 60 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. and the government had been trying to reopen its tourism industry, but since visitors started returning in march with no vaccination required cases started to rise. schools and shops had been closed while bars and casinos will close. early south africa has started. the 2nd phase of its banks, a nation program focusing on people over 60 years old. but the government has been criticized for a slow rollout. it is the worst hit country on the continent, and there are growing fears of a possible 3rd wave meter miller has more now from the cause of the natal province . at this vaccination site in peter harrisburg, rupert now lines up with hundreds of people for their 1st of 2 jobs. this is the 2nd phase of south africa, the vaccination program, and the government plans to vaccinate 5000000 elderly people by the end of june.

after that, i've done the queue, which was very, very far, very efficiently done. and very nicely, they took care of all the over 61 and there hasn't been any old person sitting around for a long time. so far more than 470000 health workers have received a job, do a trial program. almost half a 1000000 still need to be vaccinated. the government says it wants to be vaccinating 250000 people a day by september. but their concerns, the program is and will be slower than expected. but between now and the end of june, we should every 5th goes with 6000000 boxes. we're trying to get more than that. but because of some of the days we're trying to deliver a research for later on india. and so we're hoping that on the 2nd phase one, looking at 16000000 people vaccinated,

the government says a shortage and supply may delay 2nd doses of 5 vaccine up to 3 months. and some a worry that virus variance 1st identified in the u. k. in india will impact south africa. several cases of both have been identified here. the government has for months, want people, a 3rd wave is expected, and it's not been confirmed in 2 provinces. so electric is also entering winter when more people, especially the vulnerable, will become ill. government says it's focusing on vaccinating the elderly, and it's aiming to vaccinate also the africans by march next year. that's off to saying it will meet its deadline this year. for many watching and waiting for the jap, shifting target is wiring for me to mila ultra 0 quick luna. tell self africa. officials from the international olympic committee are due to wrap up 3 days of talks with the organizers of the tokyo games. there is increasing speculation about the fate

of the events as corona virus case is rise just 2 months to go until the scheduled opening ceremony is rob mcbride, selected to make use of national olympic teams have been going through the usual build up events. while all of them recognise these games will be right now other that's assuming they go ahead rural. well aware of what's going on, you copy and you've as an athlete to know that. and we don't want to threaten the safety and security of the japanese as well. that's really important for us. brazil, one of the country's hardest hit by the pandemic, is vaccinating its athletes and accompanying officials with other national olympic committees doing the same. such precautions on depend the international olympic committees continuing confidence that the games will go ahead. the i o. c has offered to the organizing committee to have additional medical personnel has parts offer the c delegations to support the medical operations.

but a request from japan's olympic organizers, full medical staff to volunteer to help out has been criticized in japan, where a widespread state of emergency is still in place. but you know, they finish the rules in japan. if there's a risk of a view in st regency here, you know, in addition to the people who will also pre variance. so at this point, i believe it's impossible to old olympic 15. that's a view consistently supported by opinion polls in japan. but any decision to cancel the games would be an extremely costly one. the budget has already ballooned to $16000000000.00 with only part of that covered by insurance. and japan knows its loss from a cancelled games will be measured in far more than just dollars. i do think that losing face 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 just 2 months to go. and there's still no guarantee the newly available team uniforms will finally get to be paraded at an opening ceremony. rob mcbride, al jazeera, spain's accusing morocco blackmail over its apparent loosening of border controls. after thousands of refugees and migrants crossed into the spanish enclave a suitor. this week, spanish police detained as many as 8000 people who swam into suitor from morocco or climbed fences, and smith is in suitor. the spanish military standing guard again here at the beach at future, just on the other side of the fence, is mirage. around 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 parties 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 if the only known fatality 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 name as president joe biden, and his south korean counterpart moon. jane will hold their 1st face to face talks at the white house in the coming hours. top of the agenda is north korea bivens,

trying to strike a balance between donald trump's leader to leader diplomacy and barack obama small distance approach. kimberly how kit has the story 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 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 summers between the president, trump and north korean leadership. and all 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 was called the most powerful missile on the planet. stark reminder, appealing yang desire to continue its weapons program as vied 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 a war. moderate bivens 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 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 cobit 19 vaccine. sol needs more and they're hoping that president bided can help. kimberly help hit algebra. the white house, the 8 countries that make up the arctic council have agreed on a new tenure strategic plan for the region. but the conference in iceland has highlighted tensions between russia and its 7 poland. neighbors has pulled brenham . 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, were committed to advancing a piece larger region where cooperation prevails on climate. the environment, science and safety, and where sustainable economic development benefits the people of the region. by 2040 it may be possible to sail to the north pole across 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 bases 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 3 was

a thruster. but of course, we're 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 united states to all, to see a lot of territorial control in the form of military bases. which did not a states have an interest in. and obviously the objective is quite quite clear that would like to use this, 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 far north. but of course, any development strings, environmental impact friction between the natural human worlds and increasingly, the possibility of political and even.
