ah ah ah, in israel and agree to a cease fire ending 11 days of fighting the killed more than 200 palestinians and brought widespread destruction. ah, well again on peter w watching out to the are alive from our headquarters here. also coming up on the thing and celebrate the truces claims the victory and the conflict,

but warns it will react to any violations reports the me and election commission plans to dissolve on sunset cheese national league for democracy policy and the race to protect the object. countries pledge to step up the fight against global warming, which is happening 3 times faster in the far north. ah, it's just off the gmc, that's 11 am in the gaza strip for a new day has come with a cease fire and fresh hopes for an extended break and fighting between israelis and palestinians. the bombs have fallen silent. let's just show you these live pictures close to the garza israel border where it's really tanks have been master course during the conflict. one of the punctuation marks of the past 11 days heading towards being almost 2 weeks was the way that israel massed

a lot of heavy weaponry on the israeli side of that border. is there an expectation on either side of the israel garza border that the sci fi will hold? possibly not. is there a hope that it will hold? absolutely. yes. for the people on the streets of garza, the palestinians, and also for the people of israel on the streets, on the israeli side of the border will that see slide between israel and hamas came into effect over night. it's hope to can and almost 2 weeks of 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 children. 12 people were killed in israel. this is the news of the si. fi was received celebrations broke out in garza, bethlehem ramallah, and in the occupied east jerusalem neighbourhood, which has been at the center of the most recent pension families in garza,

has been sheltering. an un run schools have started to return to their homes after the c spy was announced, many fled to the schools on the outskirts of the city. the un says nearly 60000 people have been displaced. human also, it is in gaza joining us live human. so it's very much the morning after the night before there, i guess people are still absorbing and processing this information that they've now got a c spot in place. yes, definitely peter. i mean, the people here in ga, so as i've seen in the neighborhood, very neighborhood, despite these, most of their neighborhood here have been destroyed. but the people have back home . they're trying to gather what is lost from their life. they're trying to, to pick up what's, what's left from their remains and trying to go on with their lives. they know that the upcoming period for them is going to be extremely difficult in light of the

deteriorating economy condition and that most of the people here live on a daily basis. so they don't have a regular income or a regular salary, but on a daily basis. and now, considering the amount of destruction that has been in the entire trip, that means that most of these daily workers will not have, will not, or vendors will not be able to go on with any of their daily work. and also, what their biggest hopes now are that they would be compensated by at please, ah, renting or renting funds. so that they could be able to take any other apartment or a place that they could be staying out until they find a solution for their destroyed homes. because most of the home fear has been completely destroyed and they are not able for them to live in them in any of them . again, do palestinians trust the israeli authorities not to breach the seashore?

of course, no, i mean the policy and trade here is still saying that there, anticipating what might happen or wrapped in the upcoming hours and even days, especially that they be, they feel that this, this, these fire has come suddenly and they have not, they have not israel has not approved, it would stop its collation a ruse, which might mean that more violence might happen or erupt in jerusalem the coming days. and this might drop the sea like break the and erupt the conditions again hearing because the strip. so people are really interest facing the upcoming days, the upcoming hours, specially that there is nothing that is going to be launched and this sees fire will not be broken. okay,

you know many things human. i'll say reporting live there for us from garza harry force. it has more on that developing story from west jerusalem is really, is 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, both the israelis and the leadership of hamas claiming victory. hamas is saying that it exacted concessions out of israel both in terms of israeli activities in shaquira and on the alex are most compound known as the temple mount to jews. the israelis are entirely denying that saying it is a lie. the israeli line is that how much 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 commanders to in turn,

hamas is denying that saying that their 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 wing 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. well the us presidential biden did welcome the sci fi saying his administration worked tirelessly behind the scenes. gabriel elizondo has more now from washington. 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, prolong 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'm 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 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. while the un secretary general edge both sides to respect the true sandra new dialogue to bring about reconciliation and an end to divisions. i welcome the ceasefire between gaza and the israel. after 11 days of deadly o securities, i extend my deepest condolences to the victims of the violence and their loved ones . i commence egypt and katara for the efforts carried out in close coordination with the un to help restock come to godson the israel. i stressed that israeli and palestinian leaders ever responsibility on the restoration of come to start to see

this dialogue with the rest the root causes of the conflicts. well lilla bow, whom is a humanitarian worker, and the human rights advocate in gaza. she says, palestinians are used to the cycle of conflict and cease fires. it took us 11 days for us to reach this point and with all was new that we're going to come to it is always come to see via it's always the question on when and what will be lost on something. and we have seen 1111 days what we haven't seen in the last years. what's more of it? so it's really disappointment. that's the only after 11 days and then the community build up some efforts for the fire to take place. i haven't seen in my life any really strong efforts and strong infrastructure for a peace process. i don't know how this would be built on these other messages. we keep hearing every plan after around escalation and aggressions. and we haven't really touched a really strong political will, and actions don't put us through this process. i keep thinking that we shouldn't be

going back to the surface call before the 11 days with the last duration. and i run back by member the memory, tried to remember a year where we had a good life and i can't find the school to go back to. so peace became a dream or even a theory that we try to achieve. and many nations have lost the beauty of the years because of this field that has not been achievable. so i don't know how we're going to because i don't see a good infrastructure for us. dozens of people have gathered in the japanese capital to show their support for palestinians. they demonstrated near the israeli embassy, and sophia, reacting to news of the troops. some carried placards showing palestinian flags while others held sign thing. freedom to palestine. garrison protested planned throughout the day in civil cities around the world. still to come on, this program concerns a growing over the pace of south africa's vaccination program as it enters a 3rd wave of cove it and the us president joe biden will hold his 1st face to face

meeting with his south korean counterpart. can the us help the north and the south mend broken ties? ah, ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by kettle airways. hello. nice to see you will begin in the british isles. were you know, it's really the type of weather that turn. sure. umbrella, inside out we had been warning about some pretty powerful wind gusts. we saw them in ireland, 79 kilometers per hour. i think we'll experience much of that much of the same in london today. low temperatures, just the high of 13. give you a wider look at the united kingdom rate now. okay, let's keep going. keep going, hold it there. and we're also seeing some brain fling into the low countries associated with this disturbance and a good push of rain toward eastern areas of france into switzerland. and also still

orange weather alerts in romania for the potential of flooding. i do want to take you to greece right now because we have a forest fire burning, just west of athens. the smell of smoke is drifting into athens and it has been incredibly dry here over the last month just about a day or 2 of rain. so that's not helping with the firefight. now, we're turkey. we do have some rain moving across the boss 1st, so that's impacting its stem bull will eventually make its way into on correct. so $29.00 in aurora on friday. we'll slice that have pitcher and half by the time we get towards saturday and across north africa. things are looking nice. lots of sunshine in cairo, with a high of 37 sponsor cut on airways. the world of frequency share trading, exposed i had as engine that was basically trading. i couldn't last $30000000.00 was a terrifying experience. how artificial intelligence as rates for stakes and risks

on the money market, markets go faster, faster. we're opening up the possibility for an instability, for no, no use of money bought on our jesse ah, ah, the me watching out of the reminder of our top story so far this a cease fire between israel and some are does appear to be holding. it came into effect on friday, after 11 days of fighting, which killed more than $230.00 palestinians. 12 people died in israel. news of the fees fire has been met with celebrations across the palestinian territories,

displayed families to started returning home. following news at the 1st in the us president joe biden as welcomed the agreement, saying israelis and palestinians deserve to live in peace. she says washington will continue to support israel militarily and he pledged humanitarian aid to palestinians in garza. ok, let's take a look back at some of the events that directly lead to this search of violence. well, 2 weeks ago is ready, forces entered the alex, the mos compounded launched the crack down on protested that laid lead to confrontations between the police and worshippers. one day later, there was more violence in occupied east jerusalem. dozens of people were injured, as is where the police trying to clear grounds. gathering in the area shake, gerard neighborhood has been at the heart of the recent unrest. several palestinian families there are facing forced evictions to make way for jewish settlers. israeli

forces launched a 2nd grade on the axa mosque on may the 10th during press. i'm asked by a barrage of rockets into israel. israeli forces carried out and strikes. emerson. com reports now from west jerusalem on the last day, 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 use radio, warned 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 bombarding struck the destruction is self evident use if 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 i mean to go with the we were sleeping inside the house when we heard shouting, get out, get out the whole levy is going to be bombed. we went to the school for sale too, but they were full. so we sat in the street just waiting the united nations that runs the camp is still assessing the damage if they hit the road, 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 it says, arrive for a visit. these ready foreign ministry is calling the visit one of solidarity. he was all smiles at the podium as a german and he's ready for a minister spoke to one question. 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 egyptian broken si, fi. after 11 days of intense bombardment, they hope that things may, to normal. but normal is a relative term for gaza. it remains under israeli lead feet and its problems with food fuel medicine shortages on now even more serious iran car out there. what's teresa? the political party of me and mars i stayed leader and sons who cheese being dissolved by the countries electoral commission. according to reports from some local media outlets them not the commission which was appointed by military rulers fallen coo and february, accused the party of under pro fraud florence louis is falling developments from holland on 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 detained election commission officials and investigated senior members. then it appointed its people, people that trust it to the election commission body. now there's new genta 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. so it was attended mostly by the pro military parties. now, the chairperson is nonsense, that the election commission intends to dissolve the national league for democracy party. this is a party led by on san sushi and it 182 percent of elected seats in last year's election. and the chair also said that the l. d. 's leaders were he considered them 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 intellectual fraud. in fact, quite the opposite. there were 2 for an election observer 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, when 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, whatever shape the election takes, it's not going to be one that will be free and fast center attention nor to india, where the corona virus death toll is continuing to rise. but the number of new infections is falling. more than 4200 deaths were reported on friday. well, new cases fell by around 15000 on thursday, one of the countries local vaccine manufacturers and plans to ramp up production. india is facing a severe shortage of jobs, just 3 percent of the population having been inoculated. south africa has begun the

2nd phase of its vaccination program focusing on people over the age of 60. but the government has been criticized for a slow rollout. it's the worst hit the country on the continent, and there are growing fears of a possible 3rd wave for me to miller has more nor from cause or 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 have in the queue, which was very, very far, very efficiently done. and very nicely, they took care of all the over 61 and the there 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 have received goes with 6000000 boxes. we're trying to get more than that . but because of some of the days we're actually getting deliveries, we ship them for later on india. and so we're hoping that on the 2nd phase, when 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 of 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 was luna. tell south africa joe biden. to south korean count apartment, jane will hold their 1st face to face talks. the white house in coming few hours top of the agenda, north korea, mr. bivens, trying to strike a balance between donald trump's leader to leader diplomacy and barack obama as more distant approach. kimberly healthcare reports now from washington. he was the 1st sitting us president to ever meet with the north korean leader. but donald trump's so called love affair with kim jung and was often shaky rocketman is on a suicide mission for himself. still,

he helped his efforts would change the relationship. washington has with young yang for all the hoopla and all the pageantry with the stomach 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. 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 to help with a long term p. steel to the north and south korea are still technically at war.

water fighting 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 biden can help. kimberly help hit al jazeera, the white house, staying with american politics. president biden has signed an anti hate crime bill into law to address arise and attacks against asian americans during the corona virus pandemic. it seeks to speed up investigations into hate crimes and make

reporting easier for the victims. it will expand public education campaigns and boost justice department resources and police training. mister bolton says the legislation has passed the nation's 1st step towards unity. the 8th nations that make up the arctic council have agreed on a new 10 year strategic plan for the region. but the conference in iceland has highlighted tensions between russia and it's 7, poland. neighbors pull brennan picks up the story. the frozen north of our planet has long been the cause of contested rival race. less than 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 that development is truly sustainable. and that no one is left behind, were committed to advancing a piece of logic, 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 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 the 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, this presence in norway in order to challenge russia and are at the end of the council. the ceremonial gamble was passed on to russia, which intends to use its chairmanship 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 military conflict. pull brennan al jazeera,

iceland, foreign minister says the technicians are working closely to tackle the effects of climate change. i think the most important thing is that a lot over the nations around the world to look into the arctic. i found that my cell phone is a general counsel for a minister of one of the countries for the last 4 and a half years. the most important thing, not to be a day or course, we need to have the arctic as a low tension area based area under all the articles under international orange, the law, the ostrich nations. so if we keep on track when it comes to back to ensure because we are seeing in the doctor, the warming is 3 times higher than the rest of the ropes. but it also means that she open up sheets which are not open now. and for example, on a sheet it's open through the. ready it means the shavings between europe and asia,

short by 4 to accept. and that it's going to be, have similar factors to panama canal and as soon as can out. so there are lots of changes which will be there when. busy if, if and when, because it's going to happen, the shields opens up. the most important thing that we try to do, what we can to i've tried to change because i really feel, especially in the after countries in the house. we're reading focused on working together when it comes to sustainability in the under the after counsel umbrella, i'm actually the corporation between us and russia, which has been a lot because they have been taking low cost husband goods. ah.
