7:02 pm
shoulder looking only at one thing, bringing back the security and quiet to the people of israel as the prime minister of israel. the only thing that influences my decision is the safety and security of israel and keeping at citizens and soldiers alive. the main goal of this operation was to hit the terrorist operation hard and bring back peace to date. not everything is known to the public and to whom us, and it will come out in time. at the stage, what i can say is we did brave and new things. or elaine had done muscle allow these 2 are palestinian people into all free men worldwide. i bring to you this good news, good news of the victory, and it is the victory created by the palestinian people. it is a victory carved by the noble blood of the fallen marchers. all resistance groups, joint forces and delta, one heavy blow to the enemy. this blow will leave an indelible mark on these really occupation forces on their political security and military. we salute our

7:04 pm
a strange affair at the moment. it is obviously the expectation is that this will be a devastated place off the 11 days that we've had but, and it is in some ways, i mean we've seen more than $15000.00 homes either destroyed or partially damaged. that means more than 80000 people are affected in that way as well as the desks, as well as the overall medical system, as well as what you can see behind this, which is the one of the many destroy towers. it happens to be the one that used to house 0 building. and if, if it was still there ross, that truck wouldn't have a clear path through to the satellite. that's one of the things that that just struck me now. but at the same time, there is this real celebrate re around on the streets, people celebrating, what am i says, and what many people here see as a victory of israel. it's also sort of a postponed ead because they have been stuck in the homes since the beginning of the confrontation,
7:05 pm
but the conflicts with israel. and so they didn't have the end of ramadan festival . so this is a postpone deed. i've seen one of the way i destroyed building down the next some little girls coming out of the apartments in princess outsets. it's really quite a strange sort of dissidence spectacle here. and to celebrate something that isn't just now it's sunset. it's been going to be ours. as the promise c spy became a reality in gaza. there was a sense of liberation from days of destructive, deadlier strikes and artillery. also a celebration of what, how much, and it's military lead him home a death say is a victory over israel. i bad, they killed young man, so my grandson was born and because in my home a death we called another child, alexis thought they are in good health, they will grow up and be young men, god is greater. the families who sought refuge in school is now able to return to the homes they lead in here. this is a joyful moment for all garza,
7:06 pm
this is the victory for remo. done for eat, for to resume of celebrations to an occupied east. jerusalem hammer said it at one concessions in the sci fi, restricting israeli actions in the neighborhood of shakes euro and on the alex almost compound. israel has denied that saying the sci fi was unconditional. with victorious chanting, spreading across the occupied west bank, how must clearly feels it has improved it standing among palestinians in relation to the rival faction, thomas indian president, would bus the molecule what will come after the battle of jerusalem sword is not like what came before the posting and people have back the resistance and know that the resistance is what will liberate the land and protect the holy sites in television subjected in recent days to the heaviest, most concentrated garza rocket fire. in any previous war, the sense was of where we relief that the fire is good for humanitarian reasons. to
7:07 pm
civilians the relax a little bit on both sides. i'm skeptical though that it will really be kept for a while. unfortunately, i don't feel like we have much time for, for the next escalation. if anything significant will change. like if come up, we'll get to israel says the days of strikes him ga, zone tunnels. miss l site senior commanders have set how much back years and restored israeli military deterrents. president biden said the u. s. would help replenish israel's. i don't. and he rocket batteries and aid rebuilding and garza through the palestinian authority. not how must i also emphasize what i said throughout this conflict. united states fully support israel's right to defend itself against indiscriminate robert rocket attacks and mosse and other gaza based terrorist groups that have taken the lives of innocent civilians in israel. 12
7:08 pm
people including 2 children, have been killed in israel and the 11 days of fighting. israel's army says it will keep its increased military presence in place for some days as civilian restrictions are eased in gaza to daddy, life is starting to resume here. 232 people were killed. 65 of them children. each side's victory claim is at best open to doubt what is certain, the destruction and grief left behind harry, despite the celebrations that you've been describing, and the princess outfits, the issues that under this conflict really haven't gone away. what might that mean? so this is 5 going forward. yes, there is a lot of skepticism, some of which you heard in that piece about how long term this can be because really things. although both sides saying that things have changed as the saying that they have set us back by so far and really destroyed so much of its capabilities. i'm not just saying that it has new power over israel and over
7:09 pm
jerusalem, especially, i mean already interest when we've seen the approximate compound with israeli forces on it. again, we've seen how much say that it has know that it hasn't been unduly affected militarily by what's going on in the last week. and. and so people are concerned obviously that this is just another sign of the cycle repeating because these things have been said before. and a lot of concern is around the fact that it may well happen again, given a few more years. but right now there is a huge amount of reconstruction rebuilding care for the injured to do with a overwhelmed health system. and people, as i say, out of the streets celebrating their delayed aid harry force, they're on the ground floor, us in gaza. thank you so much, harry. well, let's now speak to him, ron kon, he joins us from the shake, geron neighbourhood and occupied east jerusalem. him on, it was
7:10 pm
a push to evict palestinian families from the very neighborhood they were standing, and it was really want to flash points for this particular round of fighting. how is news of the sci fi going over there? well, it began to with fireworks when people drive around in their cars with celebrations, with singing people welcomed the fire. but during the day that actually changed from celebration into classes that took place in the l. x the most going to a few me a few 100 meters away from where i'm standing. what happened is the palestinians went to alexa most. the 3rd scientists long for friday press and they were celebrating where they stayed in the compact. now you can stay in that compound, it's a place where the palestinians go, they picnics that they play football, it's actually a community center of. so it's a very big one, but you know, that's what it is. so there were allowed to be then they've been there before, but this time around these ready forces went in and i went to federal. i would this is told us that they started firing stronger aids and take us into the compound.
7:11 pm
now it is a world of compounds when take us it's, there's not a huge amount. there's not a huge amount of places you could actually go to escape. i've seen that i've been, when these ready police have been in, on previous occasions. so it is very difficult now the israeli police issued a statement saying there was a right, there was a many protests that broke out and to scuffles and that's why they went in every single pilot sending we spoke to. we did speak to several told us that wasn't the case, but now we're back to shake, draw neighborhood and i'm going to point something out. you can see the police checkpoint just down there, that's relatively new. it bumped up in the last 11 days. that leads into shake your neighborhood. now if you're is right a you just walk through that checkpoint, no problems, no questions off. if you'll palestinian from occupied the streets lemon, you live in one of the houses about 30 seconds away from me. and you've got friends in michigan, your neighborhood, you know, out in. and that is something that's angering palestinians now and the focus again,
7:12 pm
this is shifting to this idea of these forced explosions. yes them us where declared victory. yes, israel may be saying that they've damaged a mass, but the residents of shake draw still have that hanging over their heads. these forced expulsions. they worried that now there is a ceasefire that maybe these false explosions will continue and maybe they'll get bigger because israel is confident that is destroyed, masses, capabilities. this is the conversation. people are having in shake, draw a neighborhood. and as you said, it was this neighborhood, those full st explosions that spoke to this 11 day will carry a lot of unresolved issues that among con, that, and take her off for a. thank you so much him while still i have here here on al jazeera joining forces against cove at 19 italy co hosts a g 20 summit with a pledge to give poor countries more vaccine. ah,
7:13 pm
ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored by cattle airways. hello. want to show you where the heavy rain is falling in china, where we usually suspect towards southern portions of the country. but we've also seen heavy rain across japan. look what he did to osaka, 191 millimeters of rain over the past 24 hours. typically for the month of may, you should get a $146.00. so yes, more than a months worth of rain in 24 hours. now the heavy rain usually meanders between the gang, see and the pearl river, though on saturday it's going to be mostly concentrated over the yangtze river in and around who hon, stretching over the china sea. but the bulk of the activity will be out toward the pacific. so that means japan catches a break and gets a chance to dry out. we have seen some heavy rain toward endo china, particularly southern sections of cambodia and into vietnam that will continue on
7:14 pm
saturday. and devoe has also seen heavy rain as of late. that also continues on saturday. we have the potential to see another severe psychologic storm this time in the bay of bengal could form over the next few days as we get that circulation once again with an impact to india. elsewhere across india, some heavy rain toward the western gods spilling into time on the do bunch. and i will be dry on saturday with a high 38 sponsor cut on airways. i'm harry davies, and kimberly, in west, in australia were involved in this community. the teaming with scientists to create a new approach to marine conservation. first thing you learn, but we even that the, the government about what i'm offering you and reporting from review. if you're going to try is protecting biodiversity pro, defending themselves against the legal invaders. brian: oh no,
7:15 pm
there's 0 me. ah ah, hello again, i'm associate hey and let's remind you about top stories here. the fallon, sci fi between israel and mouse appears to be holding. it went into effect on friday after 11 days of fighting, which kills at least $243.00 palestinian 12 people died. and israel both sides. meanwhile, claiming victory. news of that has been met with celebrations across the palestinian territories. just based families have begun returning to their homes, following news about training and us president joe biden is also welcome to the
7:16 pm
agreement, saying, israelis and palestinians deserve live in peace. he says washington will continue to support israel militarily and has pledged humanitarian aid palestinians and gaza . well, let's now speak try different medic, editor james based more on this from west teresa them. james, after a few failed attempts, i believe another resolution is making its way through the un security council. what should we expect now? yeah, yeah, i've actually just come from new york and i can tell you that diplomat say that that french draft resolution is more thing into a new version. already the existing version that the us didn't like it all. have some of it about the humanitarian situation. in fact, i can quote from the early draft, it cooled for the unimpeded provision and distribution throughout cause of humanitarian assistance will. that's, i think, going to become the focus of a resolution by the french. so they were going to try and put the whole security council hoping perhaps that the u. s. is position is changed because certainly
7:17 pm
prompts would not want to provoke a veto from the united states. the security council clearly wants its voice to be heard on this issue, but when it comes to international diplomacy on this long running call, late, the role of the u. s. is, of course, the absolute key one. and i think the other thing you've got to watch in the coming days is the us that could you state and the blinking, he is on his way to the region. we're told we don't have exact timings. he's going to meet his railey palestinian leaders. now the policy of the by the but it's ration for the last 4 months. so it's been focused on various big international issues. the raw nuclear deal situation did not gonna stop the climate crisis. and this law running conflict has been right down the list. president biden. not pointing a top envoy, no real plans to try and rig the priest process. the big question when secretary of state blinkin arrives here is, has the, by the administration changed its mind. has the crisis we've seen in the last few
7:18 pm
days decided that this should be much further up their agenda that they should actively try and start restart peace negotiations on sunday. be watching that visit very closely. indeed here on out there at james phase, there in west, through some 4th automatically editor. thank you so much. when across the wilds, there have been demonstrations in solidarity with the people of palestine. have a look. these are the scenes and neighboring jordan where people have gathered at the border and in indonesia more than a 1000 demonstrators rally is outside the u. s. embassy in the capital cost. they've washington to support palestinian and ask guns have also been purchasing in solidarity was talestine. they say they hope for a long lasting see spot in gaza. meanwhile, pakistan is smoking it's officials health science solar doris day, of course will come on hind is at a demonstration in the capital of some of them hard for palestine. gabriel
7:19 pm
and psyche of most focused on it. and it doesn't matter where you are from the religious part, right. although far less people all agree that there has to be adjusted to the indian issue, i guess on has always supported the palestinian. been aware of outraged and overwhelming you go, boys against civilian population than god. the people are focused on their been watching that on their screen. there's no surprise that thousands of them have now come out on this trade show their scholar data day with the people of palestine. we have been talking to most of the papers to ask them what had brought them to rotate . this is the brutal murder of the united nation is also a boarding days which are demo langley. and there was a good deal who have gotten i, they say we also condemned them. and we did the message to the
7:20 pm
senior denied by the revision by region. even though some of the muslim country and do have a separate drive. but we want to say to the muslim country that we need to stand together to deliver and send a message. a strong message was rela, we're ready by listen, you know, the women and we have all those muslim budgets on the foreign ministers already in new york, where he had already met with the turkish foreign minister in important message from buggers on that day has to be more action than just diplomacy when it comes to the black and white lation of international law by their state of age, and i am moving on now and a major conference on how to beat the corona. viruses kicked off with a pledge to give p countries more vaccines. if lee is co hosting
7:21 pm
a g 20 summit with the european commission to try to address the global health crisis, the european union says it will donate 100000000 corona virus vaccines by the end of this year. while leaders are also expected to discuss scaling up vaccine production and also avoiding national export bands. natasha about the joins me out live from paris. natasha. can you talk us through just what was decided at the summer? f. d 20 leaders discussing the coven 19 pandemic. and the focus in this global health summit was very much on vaccines. how poor countries can be helped by wealthy nations, with their vaccine rollouts and access to faxing doses. now there are a number of commitments made at the end of this summit. many countries committed to boosting the amount of doses that they shared with poor countries. the european union, for example, has committed to 100000000,
7:22 pm
says shared with poor countries through the kofax scheme. we also heard from pharmaceutical johns, including bon tag fives, the maternal johnson johnson, who will pledge 1300000000 doses for poor country, for the much cheaper rate than which they've been sold to wealthier nations also help from wealthy nations to build a covert vaccine production and development hubs in africa. we know, for example, in africa few than one percent of people have been vaccinated. there were some countries that have had no vaccine doses at all. however, nothing in terms in terms of vaccine waivers g 20 leaders actually decided that they would not waive paintings on the vaccines, nevada, as seen as something of a snub to the united states. jo biden's administration in may and he did the calls of countries like india and china in pushing for a waiver on vaccine payton's,
7:23 pm
the way to help boost production in the poor countries. but at the summit, many nations said that they were actually against not because of the because of innovation because of paint and rights. and they also said that in the short term, the actual real urgency sharing doses boosting production of doses, doing things like taking down trade barriers rather than actually focusing on lifting payton natasha about to they're following that for us from paris. thank you so much, natasha. while meanwhile, india is official current of ours death toll is continuing to rise. but the record number of new infections is falling. more than 4200 deaths were reported on friday, while new cases fell by around 15000. india itself is facing a severe shortage of vaccines with just 3 percent of its population are not elated . and meanwhile, an alarming new health problem is complicating india. the baffle against the
7:24 pm
current of virus doctors are now dealing with an increasing number of patients diagnosed with. so called black fungus, it typically affects people whose immune systems have already been compromised. or an ant bond is a specialist in bioethics, and also is a public health for such again, a play university. he says this fungal epidemic is piling, the pressure on hospitals that are already struggling. it was getting a fairly serious in fact, it's already being characterized as an epidemic with an abandon makes now cases being reported from many states and india and the problem of the shortage of the medicine, specifically and put edison b is the cause for body. now remember, a lot of these patients are patients will be discharged post recovery from cobra 19, but they have probably gotten the fungal infection during their stay in the hospital once they've gone back home. steroids, which are a mainstay of treatment. and there is enough evidence that state or it's a useful but the problem is that it's all supposed lowered immunity and fees and sugar levels. and given already that many people in india have diabetes,
7:25 pm
that can be a double whammy. so the lord immunity and the highest levels are a sort of an invitation to this find this to say, and this is now leading to an increasing number of patients being identified with the disease. obviously, early identification is a key requirement because then management is relatively more easier, but it wants cases can be very complicated to treat. it can be a long treatment. it can also while a lot of surgeries and require a lot of specialists who are in short supply, so especially with the spread of disease to little india. i think this will be a major cause of body over the next few weeks. and hopefully we'll see some control happening well, moving on and the political party, me and was asked to be the on some sushi is being dissolved by the countries electoral commission. now that's according to reports from some local media outlets . there. the commission, which was appointed by military rulers following february's crew, has accused the party of electro ford torn 3 as following developments for us from
7:26 pm
calling them full. 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 who trust it to the election commission body. now there's new genta appointed electron election commission, held a meeting on friday and it's chat 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 attendant mostly by the pro military parties. the, the chairperson is non said 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. now the chair also said that the end of these leaders were he considered them traitors, and he said, action would be taken. that's as far as we know. now,
7:27 pm
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. while, meanwhile, japan's foreign minister has warned that it will have to rethink its assistance to me on law. if the political system, the political situation, i'm sorry that does not improve davidson. if this situation continues, there is a possibility that the official development assistance will have to be revised. or even if they want to, the private companies will not be able to invest the memo me going to, i mean, as
7:28 pm
a country that has provided various kinds of support for me and mars democratization. and as a friend, we believe that is necessary to clearly convey these points to me and more. and we have been doing so much. i'll still a situation for john unless you've been covering that military crackdown in me on law has grown increasingly dangerous. many have now gone into hiding or escaped the neighboring countries thought highly has more now from bank all night rates like this. one of the many dangerous journalists are facing in myanmar calling me at ly was live streaming for the democratic voice of burma, known as the v. b. when he was arrested in march a few days earlier, he'd reported on a deadly crackdown by security forces. since the coo, on the 1st of february, more than 70 journalists, have been arrested. many independent media outlets have had their licenses revoked, including the v b reporters face intimidation, torture, and are in constant fear of inform. it's turning them in. i spoke to tom, went to db, be in an undisclosed location. he escaped through ethnic rebel held territory. all,
7:29 pm
most, all the people who know you will be at the same time, you know, or informal secret informants of the police, the military around you. you know, we're going to install us to the military. he says he suffers from survivors, guilt he's left, but many of his colleagues remain. the need to continue their work is paramount. he says, and he's not alone. many other journalists have gone into hiding or fled to neighboring countries, including thailand. but 3 d, v, be journalists, and to activists were arrested in the city of cheng my. earlier this month for entering thailand illegally, they said they had to escape me and mar, fearing they might be killed. they're being held in jail awaiting a trial that could lead to deportation. so with thailand, they had law played host to many displaced communities. and so we're really urging the time already to continue providing safety not to court,
7:30 pm
these journalists and activists, or anyone really from me and my who is coming for safety for ty, foreign ministry is said they are concerned about the case, but they are seeking a humanitarian solution for the group of 5, but it's a very delicate situation for the administration here. tie prime minister pro 10 or a former general who initially came to power through a coo, has a close relationship with me in mars. jones leader gentlemen, on line for the journalists still in me and mark they have a decision to make almost every day stay and continue to report. or if they have the means go into hiding or leave the country and continue to work in exile. got either al jazeera, bangkok ah, hello, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines, sci fi between israel and mos appears to be holding. it went into effect on friday after 11 days of fighting, which killed these $243.00 palestinians. 12 people died and israel both sides
