8:02 pm
. k. as demonstrates, as they call for an end to israeli occupation. while harry faucet is on the ground in gaza for us and says that people are hopeful that the sci fi there will hold. people here are certainly optimistic that the sci fi is for real. there are reports of the egyptian mediators are doing what they can to make sure it is maintained, and that it is turned up towards something potentially more long lasting. the kind of deal that had been talked about for several years now when we've been getting to the end of various smaller escalations but which has never really been fully implemented as far as the people's behavior. i mean, they're out on the streets. people are shopping. people are going to cafes and restaurants, and just many there is still, that's the sort of hang on the mood of, of celebration of the late aid. but beyond that, of course, that's the majority. there are also tens of thousands who have either lost at homes
8:03 pm
or who have had the damage in the 11 days of extremely strong air strikes and devastating strikes from the israeli side. also hundreds of people who've been injured nearly 2000 according to the latest figures and hundreds more who are grieving. we spoke to one family. they were struck at the very, very beginning of this on the 1st monday, just minutes after the initial rockets were launched towards theresa and 7 children killed in that strike one adult severe injuries, some of the other the family as well as one young father. we saw in hospital he had had 4 separate operations, had been in a coma 5 days. he wasn't fully aware of just what had happened to the rest of his family even now. so the people in that kind of situation know ceasefire is going to hear what they're going through right now. well, as i was saying earlier,
8:04 pm
thousands of people are taking part in solidarity marches for palestinians. and cities across the united kingdom on the rest of europe, marches are being held in manchester and london where the port has, according on the government, imposed sanctions on israel office as strikes on palestinian cities. there also calling for a military embargo to cut off the supply of weapons pull, brennan has moved from those protests in london. and in my shoulder, i will step out of the way. in fact, of the coming, one can give you a glimpse of the crowd is frankly enormous. when the organizes actually said that they would expect around $150000.00 after march in london, i had to confess i was due to the evidence of my own eyes. now i can see that this is pretty close to the missions because that is all the way down piccadilly, huge nevada, in the center of london. the crowd is in passing me now for some 15 minutes into into hyde park, which is not
8:05 pm
a short distance away. so there are many more 1000 ready gone into the car and still many more thousands to come. what i'm struck by by the crowd here is the youth all come. i was here last week when a different march by the same organizes went from model arch to the israeli embassy . that was a small gathering and oversee the conflict was still raising at that point. now, what we have is a larger group. i'm the much younger to say that they're in the 20s, early thirties, and bigger proportional them rather than the much wider age because it's only for i'm a sentiment from talking to them is that they genuinely believe that the pressure to say you have to walk through that process helped to bring about the end of the complex during the past week, and that determine that that pressure should not be left off now will. meanwhile, the white house has announced that us secretary of state antony blinkin will visit both israel and the occupied west bank next week. biden has promised extensive age
8:06 pm
on both sides. in the wake of this conflict, diplomatic added, james bass has worn out from western. the key diplomatic moment in the coming days is the arrival of the us secretary of state antony blinking in the region. we don't have any exact details of his trip, but he's going to be meeting is railey and palestinian leaders. clearly the international focus right now is getting humanitarian assistance into garza. a un security council resolution drafted by france is being rewritten to focus on humanitarian assistance. one of the problems there for the us is that it doesn't deal directly with the mass, so there's going to have to work through intermediaries and the united nations. the big question for the blinking visit is whether this changes the calculations of the biden administration for the 1st 4 months they've had in power. they've not seen this issue as a priority. they've been focusing on the nuclear deal on climate change on
8:07 pm
afghanistan and on relations with china and with russia. will they now change that and refocus on negotiations between israelis and palestinians of the u. s. actively pursuing them in the house of the pandemic now. and the world health organization says the global death toll from coven 19 could be true to 3 times higher than official numbers. those numbers show 3400000 people have died from the current of virus. but the w h o estimates the true number of guests directly or indirectly attributed to the virus is actually between 6 and 8000000 while meanwhile, germany has now declared the u. k. a virus very and region. that means people arriving from there will be required to quarantine for 2 weeks. this new measure is set to come into effect from sunday. the curve at 19 very prevalent and india has

8:09 pm
rapidly in sri lanka, scientists, and now looking at another strain 1st found in india. we have a question to see if the indian parent is coming. because again, the indian variant is shown to be even more transmissible than the video. and could also be causing severe disease. so as to plan with the her strategy, the control strategy, the hospital resources to have managements, all or to do all that sequencing is important. with the latest surgeon cases, the need for sequencing is more urgent than ever. but the lack of materials is delaying vital research. that's a global talk to sequencing region. so there's a huge delay in getting the, the agent either because you have a shortage on the conflict orders soon enough because of that these lack of funds has muller begins. team raises against telling senior doctors if called for an immediate 14 day lockdown of the country. this is short term restriction, imposed at the moment. working to do the people come out and people goof over and

8:17 pm
them. i don't know her or i south africa, the mammal thought apartheid on a just oh the me watching al jazeera, let's remind you about top stories here the fallon as the see 5 between israel and continues to hold. humanitarian aid has begun arriving in garza found these heading home and business owners are getting back to work despite severe damaged buildings and infrastructure then launches in support of palestinians are taking place in several european city. demonstrations are pointing on. government imposed sanctions

on israel after the strike on palestinian territory. they also want a military and vulgar to cut off the supply. sri lanka has now employed as the travel band in an effort to cab a surge in corona virus infections. and the way this comes as the islands key medical associations demand of the country locked down. now, israeli media reporting allegations that pilots and bombed some tower blocks in got out of anger rather than strategic priority. several anonymous pilots told the israeli website mockery that they felt frustration that the military operation was failing to stop him ass from firing rockets over the border valley. i spoke to y'all. nathan shapiro. he's a former israeli rescue helicopter pilot, who was discharged from the army back in 2003 for then organizing a group of air force pilot 2 public. he refused to obey orders and participation the oppression of palestinians. he says he, israeli government military strategy is counter productive i think this frustration
8:19 pm
. ready is not just the frustration of these pilots is the frustration affair of a giant beast. that is their multi superpower that has no limit to is their weaponry and strength, and military strength. but it's just impossible to kill the desire of millions of people to be free. there are lots of life that the leaders and their commanders and the pilots and all the soldiers are telling themselves. it's a big consent manufactured by a big, big system for years. and years and decades to plant these ideas in the minds of people that you can bump people from the air. you can bon buildings from the air in the most densely populated, placing the world. and in some way, you can tell yourself it's morrow. there is no way something like that can be
8:20 pm
morrow. and i think what we hear about this discourse of these pilots that are frustrated and talking about yeah, maybe it's helping or not helping it's irrelevant. it's like listening to bunch of nazi soldiers sag exterminating the gaza, ghetto at the warsaw ghetto. debating what would be the best way to to kill the jewish resistance. there. there is no way to kill the resistance of millions of people to, to be, to be free. now, more than a 1000, moroccans who crossed and failed to earlier this week has not gone back. several 1000 migrants swam or used boats to reach the spanish enclave, sparking one of the biggest diplomatic spots between madrid and rebecca in recent years. now, many are still hoping to make it to the european mainland as bernard smith reports from theater. when these moroccans arrived in future, it was the start of a journey they hope will take them across the mediterranean sea at
8:21 pm
a new life in europe. the rock of gibraltar is only 30 minutes away by ferry, but only if you have a western passport or visa for the rest, they'll try to get into the port and hide somewhere on a laurie. we're going to do it by any means necessary. not something i would you know, trade my life for, but what if you could fix that? that the bahama told himself english and his learning code that he recognizes morocco as little too often see the people on the internet. how they are living in europe. they have human rights. they don't have human rights morocco lot. if you live there, you will see what i mean. oh, my country, over to this old flight for a war, if it takes that. but i cannot stay in a place that does not want me to know what i'm saying. almost a quarter of 24 to 35 year old in morocco, unemployed, but
8:22 pm
a record. and because of koby 19, the economy is in decline. towns and villages across morocco lot. the one behind me on the border with few to have really felt the impact of the pandemic. 5000000 in formal sector jobs have been lost, according to the moral consensus policy analysis, which makes it easier to understand why so many people are looking for a better life in your the latest a 10 by the you to manage migration is being blocked by hungry a trait accord with african caribbean and pacific countries would bring more migrants, according to hungary, nationalist prime minister, the e. you said it needs more skilled migrants. i can would, i can connect because i can look at pretty much computers. i just, i was beginning to learn how to code for my laptop. i mean i have a lot of stuff in my in my arsenal, but without illegal routine people offering those skills and willing to work,
8:23 pm
we'll keep risking their lives crossing the mediterranean. bernard smith, i was just a few to on the north african coast now police in the us state of louisiana high released body cam footage of the violent arrest of a black man. after being accused of a cover on this video that we're showing you now is ronald greene being hated, punched and choked by the watch offices. he then died on the way to hospital this isn't 2 years ago, but the footage has only just been released following an investigation by the associated press. i understand that the green family is grieving at any loss of life. is tragic regardless of how i realize there is a great concern with regard to the incident. we share that concern. anytime the actions of our employees are calls into question and even when use the 4th encounters are handled within the law and policy,
8:24 pm
it can be such as it is critical that we get it right. and when we don't get it right from a holder, ourself account, well, alan fish has worn out from washington, dc. the family say there has been a cover up. it's taken that long for this video to emerge. louisiana state police only releasing their version of the dash cam and the body comes after the associated press leaked, a copy, the state police initially reacting with anger to the fact that the associated press had leaked that the family were told that ronald greene was killed in a car accident, what we can clearly see from the video is that that is simply not the case. he was stopped because of what the police say was a traffic violation. he put one hand up, he was comply with the police officers. yet he was still teased, dragged out of the car violently arrested at one point, even with his feet shackled. he was dragged by the police. now i really pro and on
8:25 pm
the ground. and we've had a lot about that over the last few months about suspects being left to lie. fleet faced down on the ground, he was complaining and he was morning, but the police, they ignored him for a full 9 minutes. when medics arrived, they found he was unresponsive, and within a few minutes of arriving and hospital, he was declared to be dead. know the family are demanding answers. they say this is simply taken too long. and as i say, they alleged that there has been a cover up by the louisiana state police. what is interesting is that none of the state troopers have faced any sort of criminal action. they faced internal discipline, but no charges have been raised. now a surprise surgeon, house prices and stars the pandemic has put home ownership out of reach for many. while investors are making huge profits in valence house prices of shot out by 20 percent. and the government is now paying a $1000000.00
8:26 pm
a day to house the homeless and hotels when he reports not from oakland in the 1st of our series on the rising cost of housing. i sell it. you welcome to freemans, by $2400000.00. another quick successful auction results in another high price sale in new zealand largest city oakland were looking for probably 45 months. it's pretty crazy. prices have gone up a lot in the last sort of 6 months or so. so i was trying to get a handle on where prices are, it was probably the, the 1st part of the l genie. in fact, those prices have searched more than 20 percent in the last year. among the 37 nations that make up the organization for economic cooperation and development or cd new zealand has the most affordable housing markets. the new zealand government has taken steps to cool the market, but there are limits to how far it will go. because a strong boy and property sector is good for the economy and in the middle of
8:27 pm
a global pandemic. when so many other industries like tourism a struggling, the government will take what it can get. it's a similar situation in australia's major cities where prices have defied economists . predictions of a 20 percent drop to increase by 10 percent in the past year. fueled by cheap money and government subsidies. we've got investors who are saying that housing is going to be a much better investment for them than money in the bank. and we're saying 1st time buyers and is always encouragement from the government. the 1st time buyers to get into market in new zealand, the property boom is exacerbating a wealth gaps that was already widening at an alarming rates. not only is there a shortage of housing at the top and further boosting is. but there isn't enough emergency or state funded long term housing to help those at the other rains. the government is trying to catch up with the bond, but there were more than 22000 people on a growing waiting list for social housing. some experts believe new zealand needs
8:28 pm
to rethink what housing means. we have new housing, very much as a commodity. that's something that can be bought, sold, traded the seat of a social good. when we think about how do we really need to start thinking about housing? is something that's critical for people well being for people to function for people to thrive on communities. the treasury is predicting a shop slowed down in price growth, but at the moment the only people who appeared to be thriving, those already on the property lead up $1900000.00 appreciate the offerings so welcoming wayne. hey, al jazeera, oakland, holly and bailey is a global head of research at night. frank, i global real estate consultancy firm, and he explains just why house prices are increasing. despite this pandemic, as price arising quite rapidly at the moment. i think the, the biggest driver behind the price rises as being cuts to interest rates so that the cost of money has fallen. that does create risks around affordability in the
8:29 pm
longer term there any kind of difference i suppose compared to the global financial crisis, is that the banks are much better capitalized at the moment. government saw encouraging banks to be consider if that's the right word with any borrowers. we get to difficulties during the pandemic, and i think also banks have been much more careful of the past decade because of lessons learned from the global financial crisis to ensure they're not lending incredibly high multiples to income they've been to controls than they were in the run up to the global financial crisis. one of the biggest problems we've seen through the pandemic is the fact that construction in many countries close down g, c, d, 's, a lot downs. and she has construction begins to re open places, new, even though the u. s. or other countries, you have issues with labor shortages, you got issues with material shortages. the cation of lockdown has been a real problem. so i think there's
8:30 pm
a real input of the main government policy to try to encourage construction volumes to try and increase supply and seeing in many parts of the world. places like berlin at the moment. truly live debates around rent controls rent caps to try to alleviate the affordability issue, but the biggest problem seems to be had a delivery of of stock. so actually there is more supply that people see either rent or to buy the me hello, this is alan rivera. these are the headlines, as the face fire between israel and her mouth continues to hold, humanitarian aid has become arriving in garza, families are heading home and business owners are getting back to work. despite severe damage to buildings and infrastructure that harry faucet has worn out from gaza.
