dressed up, getting up and down the promenade by the beach, enjoying themselves. some going along in convoys waving palestinian and other flags playing music, celebrating this victory that chanting about jerusalem. they are out of the homes in with a sense of relief and liberty. of course, behind all of that remains is extremely difficult and very devastated situation in terms of passivity infrastructure which has been picked so badly the medically to which is really being crippled, still sending people out through the rougher crossing j egypt just to try and get some of the most severely injured and all these people, as we've reported who are, who have died, many more injured, tens of thousands of had, either that have destroyed or at least some kind of damage to that home. so he had
1:07 am
major, major problems going forward. but there is a sort of side relief in a moment to go out and celebrate at the same time. well as well as celebration families in gaza been returning to holmes. they had to flee during the bombing to find what's left about those. more than 16000 residences have been damaged in the last 11 days. you know, i said reports on this now from gaza. told me family was at home when the walls of their living room came crashing down. the father had actually been watching reports of these really air strikes on television when the house was hit. no means daughters, department of which was only built last month has also been completely destroyed. a lot of the gardening can juvenile west very families living in this home. my daughter came along with the kids to suddenly the power went off and we heard filing bombardment. it was our 1st time to hear such a sound. the rebels suddenly doubted to fall on us,
1:08 am
and the kids were screaming. they were flying around. the family left their home with little more than the clothes they were wearing at the time and were taken 1st to hospital before being transferred to a united nation school. and then when the raids were extensive, we went down because my kids were afraid of the upper floor. we got to the ground floor. my sons home, it was not destroyed. yes. but then the rates got worse and we ran to my brother in those home, right. next to our up we ran from one home to another. it was old, frightening my brother in law's home was destroyed to it was the 2nd day of my kids didn't even get to where they knew cory. the toby's were among the 1st to return to their home after they usually airstrikes the conflict may have ended for now, but many gods and have now to deal with the damage and destruction coast. thousands of homes are gone and the habitants displaced. they need food,
1:09 am
shelter in medical help. there are many scenes of destruction in the gaza strip, but only one. i felt thousands of fallacy in families suffering of almost 2 weeks of lone bargemen. c u l 0. gaza or disease. fire agreed by israel, him as an allied palestinian groups is the latest in a string of uneasy agreements and gods are over the years in 2008, just 3 years after israel withdrew from the strip, it launched a 3 week ariel and ground campaign, almost 1400 palestinians in the 13 israelis were killed. the u. n. fed garza suffered $1100000000.00 worth of damage in 2012. a 175 palestinians were killed during an 8 day offensive in an operation by the israeli army called pillar of defense for israeli civilians and one soldier died. the deadliest defensive in garza was in 2014 more than 2250 palestinians were killed. 500 of whom were
1:10 am
children. $67.00 israeli soldiers and 6 civilians were also killed. half a 1000000 people would displace and $20000.00 buildings destroyed or left uninhabitable in garza, while the international committee of the red cross is urging parties to come to a political solution to the conflict wanting that without one cycle of violence will continue. we need to break the cycle of violence. in other words, we need a credible political process. you mention it some that people in guess who over the last 1015 years have been treat time to those cycle of violence, destruction and trauma. and if we don't want to be here in a couple of a couple of years to speak about exactly the same thing, it's really about time that we tried to address this, this political crisis. tensions remain high across the occupied west banquet.
1:11 am
dozens of people were injured during demonstrations on friday and also been skirmishes between palestinian protest isn't israeli forces illegal settlement of bait l close to ramallah the right cause it has a total of $82.00 palestinians in the west bank and jerusalem have been injured in these latest confrontations with israeli forces. the abraham has more from ramallah, hundreds of millions of gathered here at the manada square and central government. they say that they want to show up the court, those in the gaza strip to tell them that they didn't forget them. and we've seen a large number of flags, the green flag behind me in a box, a woman. why is she here? and she says that have not managed to unite the past. that she feels that this is the moment that she couldn't have been. this is a moment that she's proud of because in the past the p a wouldn't allow her to be carrying a lag inside the westbank. so she says she is proud of the resistance and gaza.
1:12 am
this is the feel involvement, and i'll say that israel didn't win and it's attack against gaza and the resistance to arms factions in god did in fluid. so there is a feeling of victory here, although many here are telling us that they feel sad or the lives that were lost in the besieged gaza strip. a lot in dyke is a distinguished fellow at the council on foreign relations and served as the us ambassador to israel and special envoy for israeli palestinian negotiations from 2013 to 2014. he says he doesn't think the current cease fire is likely to result in any lasting agreement about it by my life, my whole career to try to buy pace, to train of israel and the palestinians. but i have to say that i don't see where the use of the curren
1:13 am
fighting part of the problem is that the conflict just taking the white house now where a president biden is speaking, shift my commitment commitment to the security of israel period. no shift, not at all, but i tell you what, there is a shift in the shift is that we have to, we still need a 2 state solution. it is the only answer, the only answer. and what i'm convinced of is that we can now move as i head did, even before whereas i was able to negotiate wash. and before the cease fire was to go share that i made it clear that i spoke with president of the boss. we were going to make sure that we are going to provide for security in the west bank. and we, since we renew the security commitment, as well as economic commitment to the people on the west bank. i also indicated to these rallies that i thought was very important,
1:14 am
that they stopped in jerusalem. this enter communal fighting. that is why extremes on both sides, it has to in it has to in and i'm prepared to put together and i'm going to attempt to put together a major package with other nation to share a view, to rebuild the homes and without really engaging, without providing mossy opportunity to rebuild our weapon systems, rebuild the gaza, re re re rebuild gaza and they need to help and i'm committed to get that done. and so i don't, and i think that, you know, my, he still supports israel. let's get something straight here. until the region says, unequivocal name, acknowledge the right of israel to exist as an independent jewish state. there
1:15 am
will be no peace. can i ask the question to present man? i am curious if the 2 of you have offered any assurances behind the scenes to taiwan and if president biden has, has pushed you to take a tougher stance when it comes to, to try to posture towards the taiwan. good luck in time to look at the could on some among just had a few miles from president joe biden on the sci fi just reached between israel hamas and i live palestinian factions. we were hearing from him saying that he wishes to offer security in economic support for the west bank. he reiterated his
1:16 am
equipment to the security of israel and the u. s. policy of a 2 state solution. he said that he asked is ready to stop into camino fighting in jerusalem. and also he wants to initiate a major package to re build homes in garza, he said to prevent him from capitalizing on reconstruction, in order to rebuild tunnels. and so kimberly hall kits white house correspondent was listening to that and joined us now and kimberly, we heard the president that appearing to refute the suggestion that he is facing increasing criticism, perhaps even division from within his own party to take a stronger position in line with the security and the rights of the palestinians, and all of this the president decline to answer the question about whether or not he is acknowledging the shift in his party, saying that there is no shift in terms of his position. and that is that he firmly believes israel has a right to defend itself,
1:17 am
but the challenge for joe biden is that many and his party see us support for israel and not also for the palestinians in equal measure to be somewhat of a problem to be somewhat hypocritical and not in line with the sort of social justice lens, the standing up for human rights foundation of the u. s. foreign policy that this administration promised. and so as a result the challenges to this white house are growing by the day. yes, the white house is celebrating that a believe that it has been successful in negotiating a c fire with the help of partners like egypt and copper and jordan. but at the same time, they know that this is far from resolve that those, those channels of communication need to continue. and they say will continue. in fact, we just got a read out of a call from the secretary of state antony blanket. he just spoke for the 2nd time with the palestinian authority president, my food, a boss,
1:18 am
and with it they both acknowledge that. in fact, there was a welcoming of the cease fire. they discuss measures to make sure that it will hold and they still are committed to working with the united nations in order to see the rebuilding of gaza as well to make sure that there is international support for that reconstruction effort. they've also said to each other again for being so instrumental in bringing about the fire. but the concern, of course, is that the root causes as the united nations secretary general spoke earlier, saying is what needs to be addressed in order to make sure this is a lasting piece. so as the us president meets there with the south korean president, moon j, in there, questions that are asked of reporter repeatedly about the cease fire. not only whether we'll, we'll hold whether the us president has a challenge not only in working outside the us, but inside the u. s. within his own party,
1:19 am
that may not share some of his goals in the approach from the strategy between israel and the palestinian. thank you very much. kimberly hall case at the white house moving to some of the stories now and the north american parents, a desperate calling officials in the spanish and gave of so you to concern that children might have broken across the border. and more than 400 unaccompanied miners were among 8000 people who tried to swim to european shores. off to morocco appeared to loose and border controls in his bonnet. smith's report now from suitor for some, it ended in tragedy. this young man's dream of a better life in europe ended before it began. his body washed up on the shores of you to a spanish enclave. morocco's mediterranean coast. he was one of around $8000.00 migrants who hoped to take advantage of what appeared to be a decision by the moroccan authorities on monday to relax. border security
1:20 am
people swam or waded across at the time who caught the spanish authorities completely off the limit. we said we bought it, that it was a serious problem. we're used to migrants going over the fence or arriving by boat, but we have never seen so many people arriving in such a short period of time. and from one place in the moroccan government has been on good by spain as decision to of a hospital treatment to the western sahara independence leader for him. golly, loosening of the border has been widely interpreted as retaliation. but by wednesday, the flow migrant ended not that we came here looking for a better quality of life. we don't have anything in morocco, everything is terrible. we're looking for a better life. with so much suffering over there, we came here without any fear and was nothing. what happens happens most of the
1:21 am
migraines and now willingly going back to morocco from the risks they took into cross to this little bit of europe on the northern tip of africa is an indication of just how difficult the economic circumstances remain on the other side of the border coordinates i'll just there are few united nation is saying it's alarmed by the violence taking place in northwest and me and more thousands of people have been displaced in chin state between after violence between the security forces and residents who formed a defense force to find the military gin to the on the military to urgently take all necessary precautions and measures, dispersed civilians and infrastructure. meanwhile, me and was election commission is saying it's considering dissolving. unsung su, cheese party and having its leaders charged with treason. military appointed body accused the national league for democracy, of committing voter fraud in november's election despite independent observers
1:22 am
rejecting those claims. earlier this week, fan, the election was by and large representative of the will of the people, me and most minute tracy's power in february accusing su, cheese party of obtaining victory by manipulating the vote. she now faces numerous charges. the most serious is punishable by 14 years in prison. florence louis is in quantum per and says that the military is consistently accused to cheese party of voter fraud without providing evidence. 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
1:23 am
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 non set that the election commission intends to dissolve the national league for democracy party. this is a party led by on santucci. 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 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. 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, 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 this election takes,
1:24 am
it's not going to be one that will be free and fast. now some developments in nigeria military sources saying the head of the army has been killed in a plane crash of tenant general abraham atterbury's plain, reportedly came down during an official visit to kaduna state. the forces confirmed there was a crash close to could do an airport and an investigation is on the way. well, this is my jury's military investigates reports. the leader of book ron might be dead or seriously injured after trying to kill himself to avoid being captured by arrive alarmed group. i will because shake who has been the figure of ball koran and its brutal 12 year offensive. and ne nigeria local media report suggest he's been the victim of a battle with a breakaway group, a line to isolate his death has been announced several times in the past. only him to then reappear. there was a difference between the preview. so now means of his dad was made directly by the military. this is the 1st time that there has been attribute it directly to the
1:25 am
own senior commanders who now form the state of west africa. proven, is that because in 2016 the fact that there is, if i think between a book around is that makes it a province. and rebecca, she calls question. it's a good thing for me because then it's almost like the beast is now getting these all so this is good news. just given me for regional space, for the population and for the world a sprite of krona virus. and india is continuing to flow with 260000 new cases in the past day. but more than 4000 deaths were reported. and on top of this arrest, fungal disease is complicating matters. dr. dealing with a rising number of patients with so called black fungus, which caused his chest pain and breathing difficulties and kills more than half the people who get it. how many mental and new delhi says, there are new measures to try and combat the disease. the rapid rise in cases of
1:26 am
black fungus are musical. my causes have complicated matters in india but quite a lot. 1 at least 7000 people have been diagnosed with mucus. my courses, at least 200 people have died. the government of india has now called this disease in notifiable disease under the epidemic act. what this means is that every time a case is detected, states have to notify the government of india and also follow sudden guidelines on screening and testing and diagnosis. the prime minister also today called it a big challenge in india, fight against coven 19. actually 6 of the states, including coming out to talent garner and roger con, have also called it a notifiable disease under the epidemic act. now the over use of steroids and diabetes make people if passionate vulnerable to this disease, it is a disease with high fatality rate. according to the c, d. c,
1:27 am
at least half the people who do get infected do die. but it is treatable if detected early. so now hospitals are dedicating wards especially to treat black fungus. but there is a growing concern about a shortage off the drug used to treat this disease. 7 hospital saying they do not have enough of this drug. and so the delhi government has now regulated the sale of this drug to prevent hoarding, and the government of india has now off several other pharmaceutical companies to start manufacturing it. when he died 700 years ago this year, dante ali, arie was a criminal and an outcast from his own city. and the century since the writer of the divine comedy is become celebrated, is one of the fathers of italian literature. but it's at a radio reports from dante hometown of florence, efforts and now on the way to clear his name or in the middle of our life's journey,
1:28 am
i found myself in a dark wood. so. so begins dantes epic poem, the divine comedy, an illusion perhaps whose exile from his beloved florence vanished and condemned to death for corruption while serving a brief term and public office. dante spent the last years of his life trying to get back home and writing one of the world's greatest works of literature. because so many things found in the divine comedy i found in today's world as well. he said, just on the personal level, but a political one too. though he died, a convicted criminal, few other floor in time to occupy such a high place in the cities pantheon of heroes. the truth is, many people who come here to florence to pay homage to dante, don't even know he was exiled and later sentenced to death. and those who do know that don't really care if he was guilty or not. and even now, during the pandemic, hundreds of people are coming here like this,
1:29 am
place his childhood home to see what his life may have been like. 700 years after his death. though dante still has a criminal record lawyer, alexandra traverse. he has his way that could change if he shows us the ruling issued in 1302, he'd like to get overturned enough to stay to holly. our suspicion is that the legal court system and the charge is false against we used against dante eliminate him as a political raleigh vote. employee traverse the organizing view the ruling incident on hand leading lawyers and historians presiding over it a supreme court justice. there's a sense at the conference that dante was wronged, punished for being on the losing side of political battles. that royal 14th century florence, one of dante's direct descendants, was happy to take part, but was under no illusions. i find it sort of amusing,
1:30 am
to be here to listen to what they have to say. i think that the revision by itself will have no practical effect. and of course dante dantes memory does not need this other florence may never officially clear dante, his name, the supreme poet, as he's known, will continue to draw visitors here, inspiring them for years to come. adam rainy al jazeera florence. ah, look in the headlines now and a sci fi between israel mass and allied palestinian groups has brought.
