analysts say the disruption could have been catastrophic. whatsapp is tremendously important for communication in a lot of parts of the globe. i mean, it does raise questions around, you know, how important it is for there to be redundancy, but also questions around, you know, should private companies be solely in control of infrastructure. so critical to communications and the outage comes as facebook is under fire for how it does business. us regulator say facebook is a monopoly and should be broken apart. a move, the company opposes a spoke note last week. the senators grilled a facebook official about a whistle blowers allegations the company refuses to block hate speech bullying and other forms of harmful messaging from its sites that whistleblower just gave her 1st tv interview explaining why she thinks this is the case. thing i saw facebook over and over again was there were conflicts of interest between what was good for

the public and what was gave for facebook. and facebook over and over again shows to optimized for its own interests, like making more money. facebook denies francis hawkins allegation saying quote, to suggest we encourage bad content and do nothing is just not true. but the company's efforts to build on the public's trust now face another hurdle hog and testifies before congress about facebook on tuesday, rosalind jordan, l g 0, washington. you the over his prime minister abbey ahmed has been sworn in for a 2nd term. is described the poll, which was held in june as ethiopia is 1st attempt at a free and fair vote. for the poles were overshadowed by the contracting to glide, or hundreds of thousands of facing possible famine. the world's largest association of airlines. it says it's aiming for the aviation industry to reach 0 carbon emissions by 2050. the international air transport association is counting heavily

several provocations. i have prior to any rockets being directed to or from garza to israel, but those provocations involve the evictions from shake ciara neighbourhood in the east jerusalem. and then the were the right wing demonstrations, given police protection in israel that marched through east jerusalem neighborhoods as shouting slogans to the effect of death to the arabs and very provocative for leading to palestinian resistance. and. and then finally, and perhaps most importantly, the entry israeli security forces to the ox, her compound and mosque in the last days of ramadan,

interfering with the worship in this place that is considered as sacred side as posit, this operation is really warplanes bombs and destroyed for tower blocks in kansas city. what palestinians lived and businesses were based these towers were in garza's busy remodeled neighbourhood. brimell is a commercial district and a residential area where media organizations and international agencies also have their offices. a funny didn't get than other with

in the of the mom has done the i full, a british a shuttle graham yard mode and were they cut them at the so we have to do a lot going on in the done is sick. any of that that sounded kind of music. and then when i'm sort of funny about that, i left in the room. that is maggie, ma'am. anyone moved in and i'm one of them. i love open that up in a slightly if zooming to saw either the feel of obama's or does that mean a thought? cuz sheffield assess the element, the particular month to minimal he how your coffee felt. medina, because if i let them asthma, sit that the here on how, how only it obama you on a mostly deal more often in moodle bus to come yet coffee, how they want to i didn't want to cut them tuscan, hey, we're the ada. and you know, help us get to get eminence vienna the thought of cuz we have a lot of them. my father had the jetta year when my father had that a year you have the cassandra gates and surreal. a could have an underground

network underneath the gaza strip. at this point that's been built for 15 years, they have the capacity to keep their military operations and they're planning separate from the largest civilian area in the gaza strip with the least military benefit. because rommel is the furthest from the border who it's, it's the most densely populated area of an urban of the urban environment. and it militarily makes no sense to demolish towers were attractive to businesses because of the services they provided. companies requiring stability rented office space there, knowing that electricity, water, and other essential services were relatively reliable, day and night. with

the handy tower was known for its sea view. it housed serviced hotels, style pumpkins, a health club, media organizations, technology businesses, and residential apartments. al chow had a tower. how's the headquarters of several media organizations, including the palestinian national news agency and other tv stations? there were also restaurants, offices and appointments. i'll sure look tower was in the middle of the busiest street in garza. he contained dozens of shops, import, and export offices, and some local media. ah, and there was algernon tower with a bureau of al jazeera media network. and the us media agency associated prints

were based on its lower floors or a range of business offices. while the upper floors house residential apartments all these thomas unknown i saw in the hospital by sherman holiday localized, but the ledge would mcgee m, as in virginia, a club covered lumpkin, alma, muslin of the how we get those hub id. sure. uh, what will be it? is this them lane hammond, mal math, and let the how one that the how kaufman, how bobby it is to them had the ash oh, how the la without the wa inability example at the it was the compelling crucial fat. while they anathema had that the hold up of yet is the some of the shock was at that local heavy shot was what is the matter than yet? and much hawks could hear. oh, la cathy, could amelia? well, well, i'm going to let the old hubbard wail slightly and having issue up was thought you might. little. alas, ramey abdur heads, euro mediterranean,

human rights monitor based in geneva. he conducted an investigation into these attacks and garza and came to broadly the same conclusion as the people on the ground at the time that the 4 towers had no military purpose whatsoever. however, these railey army disagreed, claiming the buildings were being used for military purposes. so where does the truth lie? why with these towers singled out, bombed and destroyed. this is exactly one of the of the questions that have has to be asked by whatever an inquiry that should be held. ah, what was the primary goal of these attacks? was it really to, um, to damage military objects that were in those a buildings, or rather a show of force to intimidate the gas and population. and if the latter,

and it does seem like the latter, and if the latter, that's an illegal attack and that's unlawful and might amount to a walk on the fact that missiles from israeli jets struck the towers is undisputed. but what isn't clear is the reason behind the attacks or the process of how exactly a building is selected for destruction. one man who may have an idea is younger on both skills. he's a retired israeli military commander who worked as a special operations officer at the central command of the israeli army. when we know the 1st one, we know that there is a terror gonna zation or is there is a tour activity. and one of the buildings or structures, there is a tourist structure in gossum. so 1st we start with our intelligence unit and we

want to find out if there is a civilians and not in all civilians in the building or, or around the building. second, if we know that there is a civilian there, and we use many kind of ways to check this out. so we warn them, 1st of all, we call them and we asked them to leave the house. so the only one that we will be hated it will be only your wrist and the place and not our civilians or any other people that are multiple either some of them. huh. i did it with

i, there was my love, my little one as, as injure me of as, as my dear to those are that as a bad person who had you know, and mom love a smash for ian. and when i was muscle to the john said i had that as fun, i should get him a lot. but the latin anal bob led musical still mad at him, not even in the hunt. i sort of a sort of the letters. and i said i met the ones in that that as most of them, the lesson said, are we low mcwilliam hoodies we it will evolve if he was the 2 up quinlan is that and that as in swan. hi, my lou john israel has always presented. it's military operations as those conducted by the most moral army in the world.

ah, but anyone that's look scrutinized it's behavior from an objective point of view. i understand this to be propaganda or public relations design to convince the world of something that's essentially not true or. and really the reverse is true. the had the law. is it a barrage it what's up with water? with

a, with a cola from the israeli military gave a warning. the imminent bombing of al july tower with the deadline approaching the owner pleaded on the phone for more time to evacuate. a, what does your go to put up for such a

a with the them that the that the them to be a sort of a lead to one of about the alana good enough at a young the for though i'm pretty sure filmmaker and heather i lost most abuse, a couple of others should ago. block them. huh. been with her. what i what albert let you know, but then inside law sort of more and more so about let's put the piece or the previous kid in. huh. what does it look look enough? well, let me tell you how low massa shockey la quinta locust. oh, well monk of granite, back m as hard as scheduled for us back in all honestly i am still here. i got my

husband was m palmer, a good. the lol doyle. as of okay, lemme occurs at the flu. mccarren, i will probably look and even start louis deck in town. so i had up a sorry that kevin apply been better loan the car door had thought of coming mikka . dr. dan sat as low as high as ha ha helemano about an hour when mac phillip, should she la cheap to laugh shocked. that she, that is the a chill, my daughter could cheated our up in the she had a year or a yard mozilla farmer cant must said. ah, these railey army often produces videos about hamas. the palestinian group that has governed garza since 2006. these videos say that her matthews's civilian facilities in garza as what it calls human shields at this claim is used by israel to justify

attacks like those on the 4 towers in garza and other palestinian targets. the 1st responsibility is on the commas. ones, the commas using the people there as a human shield once he hiding behind the people. so the main things that you should, those that may be the bold isa a smart we use a smart bomb. but the bombs have no values in they have no moral, and she don't want to distinguish between terrorist and non terrorist people. especially when the terrorist use the people as a human shield and hide behind them. ah, i had blocker isn't culpable. it's sleepy shalon is the definitely within welcome shape pizza was full of dwarf actually on the phone with dr. assembly. the homes of seems to lack of sleep. he was a lacrosse near guzman quickly, while chrisman or her home. a doyle bershard here will i and my then he a latina,

the co bichon at this did there from about olivia and the quantity of coma. mr. fidel got the question there is a wider argument that the is being presented by israeli spoke peep spokespeople. and that is, that goes and general was taken hostage by the hamas. and that i, you know, and, and, and, and that we are, are fighting an enemy that is, ah, that is hiding in, in any civilian areas. let's take that argument face value. let's, let's talk about a hostage situation. if guns are hostages, then you should allow yourself to do what you would be doing. if is rallies were hostages. would you target a whole house with several combatants or terrorists,

ah, and kill, or the israelites that are being held hostage is there. i mean, if israel really wants to say to argue that that line, that the godson's, the guns within population was taken hostage by the hamas. well, it should treat this situation as a hosted situation after bombing, the hannity, al gyla and al jo, how to towers these railey army, gave its justification for the action. it claimed those towers house a mass intelligence offices. it also accused her mass of using i'll shut up talent for the cold terrorism purposes. the born, the dj a civilian without going to look at the latest stick butter hamas ala thought. i did. i mother cannibal necka. what year is the son in law, amazon, at the salon,

they last very young. ah, israel has claimed, at least in one case, that i know that a mass offices and to be precise, thomas intelligence was housed in one of the, of the towers. however, there is another principle of international laws of warfare, and that is the principle of proportionality. it's not enough that the target is legitimate. ah, if the expected result of an attack is massive ah, damage to civilians and civilian objects. that outweighs the military advantage of. um, ah, of for erasing the military target, then the attack is also legal.

in military terms, the principle of proportionality concerns the obligation to weigh military objectives against the risk of harm to civilians. armies around the world have the use of advanced weapons technology. some guided missiles are able to limit the damage they cause, while others are highly destructive. and that includes those used to bomb the residential and commercial towers in gaza. this choice of missiles gives the attack of the option of creating a targeted explosion in one part of a building or launching a high impact missiles strike, capable of destroying an entire tower block. israel has precise munitions and bombs that make the notion of

a mistake and strike almost impossible to believe. in other words, these missiles and bombs are so sophisticated in they're targeting and are linked to gps systems as to guide them precisely to their intended targets. israel in the past has shown that it has this capacity in no assassination attacks or what is called by israel targeted killings. ah, we had seen instances where misses were shocked at a specific window specific her apartment specific room ah, implant to the human and financial cost of the aerial attacks on the gas towers. ah,

this is one of the most astounding technological revolutions in all of the through make our planner great. we have to me, youthful emissions. i like to cause a major message. i'm in motion many to be mindful where people are just talking about wind in solar sake that's going to solve the problem. it won't, the world of business and commerce is driving the energy transition. each the promise of keen energy and illusion. the top side of green energy on al jazeera trans once had a vast empire spending several continents. but by the 1940s, the french were forced to confront reality and demands for independence. in the 1st part of a documentary series al jazeera looks at how the colonial unrest grew. conflict to no diarrhea and full scale war and indo china blood and his french tea colonization
