health officials say the numbers will only rise if the fighting continues below. now they are thinking civilians where they can premises this event areas. nobody knows what will happen in the coming few hours for that reason. this is an appeal effect to extend the helping hand immediately to mr. crating goes us to the chrysler. and you know, of course, the electricity web shortly, christy it's declared now that will be on me 4 hours a day and 12 hours of electricity, which means that we would rely in the huskers on july, 8th of july, 8th will consume, like half 1000000 liters. every month, we do not have this field right now. look at all us guys. this what we have and nobody knows what will happen in the coming loans. the last war has caused a wide spread of devastation, urine, because this trip a year later, almost no reconstruction has been made. the isolated coastal territory is in progress and the people are hardly recovery the fear of another round of

escalation. unit c, else is iraq. gases, city, palestinian islamic jihad is a smaller on group compared to commerce which controls garza, the p. i. j is it's known as reported of carried out attacks inside israel for over 40 years. it was founded in the early eighty's by palestinian activists in egypt. the group same is to create a palestinian islamic state within the occupied west bank. garza and parts of israel islamic jihad doesn't take part in the palestinian political process and said it concentrates on armed resistance against israel, through its military. when we are could brigade, it's active, and garza and the occupied west bank. the group has its headquarters in syria and reportedly received funds from iran is designated as a terrorist group by the u. s. e u. israel and the you came here. him for hon is an associate professor of conflict resolution at the door. her institute explained the goals of the p r. j. atlanta. she had as known to

the peace process, the negro, she ation approach with an autumn struggle against the cube ation. like how the inflammatory had is a close ally, a very close, i would say with iran you can say approx, he'll get on in the region. if, if you wealth ab received funding from it on minute, on the google. and i'd be in that policy meant that it is unlike huh. who paul out of in and that's sponsible for anybody upstairs. this is one of the people . so it's land you had because i think it's linked to it. i'm. we are seeing one of the, all that is, is launching that there is no doubt that the factions, the political factions,

the guys strongly united, fully united. this is at least what came in the very initial statement by all part is a response to the israeli attack. on gaza, however, i think that for the time being, that is the strategy of that list. they had to respond to as well as we have seen this in that missiles that let me jab, filed back with as well as that is it sounds, it seems like that is, is watching very carefully and provide the goal, the support that you had needs. but not o'shelley, getting involved at the moment. nasa shala is a gaza resident and mother of 2 young children. she says, living in gaza is unbearable for many people. before these days

we would wonder how people are coping with, with god in general, how they're coping with this situation. lack of electricity, lack of no make prospects with continued ration with the locates can see in a day live. so people would expect was, would be living again, just like another fortunately very confirm in time with your thing. again, fear and really lack of life where this is going great sense of justice that continues to play again. and again, one time, other generation after after the other in the heart, whenever there is something, you know, my, my kids to the window i would look to search for the smoke. and then depending on how big it is, they would just like 11 bomb or to where they come

from, what their action, this kind of thing. but of course it's very hard. my, my kids are 5 year old aides. and the last me was very hired to begin with, start explaining to those are one, but it's all about and this time it's not the only par planting. jobs has been shut down after running out of fuel. it had no fuel delivery since tuesday because the border crossing with israel's been closed, the electricity supply is expected to drop to just 4 hours a day. it's really rates of continued across the occupied westbank. israel says it's arrested 19 members of the islamic jihad group. troops rated sites in the city of janine and the columbia area south of ramallah. the groups indicated it will retaliate. seeing now is the time for resistance, not a truce. and protests have been held in solidarity with the palestinians. enabling

jordan. crowds gathered outside a mosque near the is really embassy in the capital, a man to condemn israel's air strikes on garza. jordan has demanded that israel stops. it's aggression immediately. and it's called in the international community to protect the palestinian people. form a u. s. president donald trump's giving the closing speech of the conservative political action conference in texas. he hasn't yet said whether he plans to run again for the white house. although he did seem to drop with some hints that he would, the largest and most influential gathering of american conservatives began on thursday in dallas. c packers. it's known as being held just 3 months ahead of mid term election. phony should happen to chance is good, more fancy back conference in dallas. we've just had the results of the straw poll . the c pack always always has whatever they have. one of these meetings. donald trump, one very large field of potential content is the republican presidential nomination

. favorite here he won by he got 69 percent of the vote. that's actually 10 percent higher than the last straw poll in february. incidentally, since february we've had the january 6 commission committee hearings in prime time and so on. clearly anything that's just cemented as hold, but still trump is not, not declared he is going to run. but we also have a very good reasons why he doesn't declare. he's raised hundreds of millions of dollars for what's called a political action committee pack. as an see pack, because every political action committee trump has his own what as soon as he announces himself as a counter, he will lose control over those hundreds of millions of dollars. because political action committees cannot be controlled by actual candidates in an election. so i think he's rather loathed to lose control over over all that cash. and maybe it's the same old speech we've heard over the last few months. the whiteness driven the country into the ground. no one, no one respects america anymore. but because of nancy pelosi visit to taiwan, there's actually a new bit now, which is what was she doing?

she played right into their hands. china and russia and other countries would never dare treat taiwan or ukraine in the way that they all. if trump was empowered, buff, but we will have, we will save our nation, and we will respect it again soon again, that suggestion that something is going to change in the next 2 years. and if it isn't, you know, donald trump's return, well a little bit. i don't know what else you might be referring to timelines, accusing the chinese army of simulating an attack, and it's main island on day 3 of beijing's biggest of military drills and surrounding waters. tensions remain high with china, which is furious over us. how speak to nancy pelosi visit to taiwan that she was just talking about. did you go on of time on plus explains why the situations a wider security threat. the cycle outlying islands are the closest point you can get to mainland china. in fact, one of them kenman is only about 10 kilometers away from, for john province. now they're used to seeing this kind of activity around

a military activity from china and seeing that, that kind of intimidation in that area. but this time at china's also focusing, as we know, it's military drills, not just in those areas, but also on the main island. in fact, this morning, the ministry of defense said that there's china's created a scenario with his exercises where it's simulating an attack on the main island of taiwan, which is where the capital is. and this all comes to ass. anthony blinkin has confirmed and the u. s. has announced that china's broken off all communications on certain issues with the u. s. and those issues include military, that of great worry, of course for taiwan. because the u. s. is time, once main ally, and in addition to that, the united states why law has to help taiwan protect itself. should there be a war scenario? so having those communications broken at a time and these military exercises are taking place, it's of great concern right now. the philippines, foreign minister,

and the leaky manada was told to you as secretary of state. his regent cannot afford an escalation of tensions. antony blankets in manila and these met president fretted on macos junior, macos describe ties between the u. s. and the philippines as a special relationship. bonner below has more from manila. after a rough patch under the administration of president, rodrigo determining the philippines in the united states have reaffirmed and enduring partnership. on saturday, u. s. secretary of state antony blanket, met with the country's newly elected leader ferdinand mark was junior. and i reiterated our ironclad commitment to the u. s. philippines mutual defense treaty and reaffirmed that an armed attack on philippines armed forces, public vessels, or aircraft, in the south china sea would invoke us mutual defense commitments. under that treaty, lincoln arrived from non pen, were foreign ministers of the 10 member association of southeast asian nations

discussed the growing tension in the taiwan strait. chinese conducting military drills until sunday in response to u. s. house speaker nancy pelosi visit to the self ruled island of ty, one the total disproportion between a peaceful visit on the one hand and escal atory military maneuvers on the other i think is very clear and very clear. 2 countries south throughout the region. president marcos said the latest moves add to an already tense situation. oh, i see is case in point the south china sea where the philippines and china have had a territorial dispute. in 2016, the philippines won an international ruling, invalidating china's vast claims in the region. but china has continued its military build up and incursions. marcus administration has to emphasize it's the,

here is 2, a one china policy, but with tension high in water. so near the philippines it will be looking to do that is states for a renewed commitment to a long standing military alliance. barring to below al jazeera manila, still had an autism tenures to main presidential candidates hold, rollins ahead of tuesday's vote. and while ukraine's military turn into virtual shooting ranges to train new recruits, ah, richard, he has begun the faithful world copies on its way to the cutter route. your travel package to the hello there. let's look to east asia and it's still a story of intense heat across central and eastern areas of china. and on sunday we'll see temperatures picking up once again in shanghai nearing 40 degrees celsius

. now there are a lot of that heat is working its way further east across japan, picking temperatures up in cities like atoka. and while we will see a bit of a brief pause in that very wet weather that's plagued the island, we are going to see some more wet weather coming in by monday that sanks this arc of storms this front brings very heavy rain to the korean peninsula as well as rushes far east before moving on to northern areas of japan, we are expecting those drenching rains to effect a kite o. there was a move across to south asia. we've seen a very wet july in pakistan. in fact, it was a wet of the month in 3 decades. we are expecting not trend to continue through august. it's a similar story for much of india over the next few days. it's central areas that are going to see the more intense one soon rains, very wet weather, lingering around the bay of bengal, bringing heavy rains once again to the likes of bangladesh and me and mark we could

see some further flooding here. but for new delhi, there will be a pause with sunshine on monday, i saw airway official airlines. the john. let's get to the bottom line. what does a new forever proxy war mean for america and nato? it's very hard to say. were the escalation stops, is it a mistake to open up? is that a pandora's box? if you want to be ready for the next pandemic, you figure out this plot the bottom line. you'll weakly take us politics in society . there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit places the state. i'll just really invest in that. and that's a privilege. as a journalist, ah ah,

you want to go to 0 reminder about told stories this are at least 24 people have been killed, more than 200 have been wounded after a 2nd day of israel to attacks on gaza. israel's military says they've killed the southern leader of palestinian islamic jihad, the p. r. j's. it's known as far hundreds of rockets across the border into the israel. most have been intercepted or no casualties have been reported. egypt katara the united nations are trying to initiate talks to deescalate violence. the former u. s. president donald trump is giving the closing speech of the conservative political action conference in texas. the largest and most influential gathering of american conservatives is being held just 3 months ahead of mid term elections. columbia's 1st leftist president elect gustovo. petro has held a symbolic, swearing in ceremony with indigenous groups, is due to be officially sworn into office on sunday. petro,

a form of guerrilla fighter, is promising to reshape the country, is put together a broad coalition to pass reforms, including a $5800000000.00 tax bill to fund social programs. all in techno as professor of political sciences massaro university, she's joining us live from vulgar tough. thank you very much. indeed for being with us. i want to ask you about the influence in the military and all of this. obviously, petro is a former rebel default with the m. 90 non group is be very critical of the military, and yet the military is an intrinsic part of life in columbia. how is the military gonna react to him being in power all? well, i think this remains to be seen, and it's undeniable that there is some degree of concern amongst certain sectors of the military. i think it will be important to know who his military leadership is, which has not yet been announced. but in general, i'd like to point out that the military traditionally in columbia get, notwithstanding its important role, given the long standing arm conflict,

lingering violence on, is a constitutional actor. in the sense that it customarily obeys and civilian authority. columbia is got the highest levels of inflation for about 20 years. and as i was just talking about, am petra's boy aiming to pass a reform including a $5800000000.00 tax bill is a confidence in columbia. do think that he will be able to deliver on this i think the expectations are tremendously high following his election. i would be reluctant to confirm that he's going to be successful on all fronts. notwithstanding this tax reform that he has in mind, columbia has a tremendously high deficit right now. the outgoing government of yvonne duke is basically leaving petro with little funding to be able to promote his social agenda . and i think it will, it will, it will be, you know, in the hands of the congress where there is an important coalition that has been

built to approve this tax reform and allow him to at least push for some of the reforms he has in mind. what do you think a petro government is going to mean for colombia is foreign relations, particularly of course, with the u. s. i think based about what we know now, he is going to promote a shift towards stronger alliances with the countries of latin america in the caribbean. there's been a 1st high level meeting which is in itself very important promoted by the us government, which is keen to preserve, you know, friendly ties with the incoming government. but i think what we're going to see is, you know, less or dependence on the united states and a greater diversification both with the region and beyond in the world as one of the concerns for the us. and of course, for other countries around the world will be columbia as illegal drug industry. my understanding coca crop is about is the highest it's ever been for about 20 odd years. do you think that that is something that petro, or let me rephrase that?

is this something that patch was showing signs of being able to deal with, to the satisfaction of other countries? well, the war enjoy the, both in columbia and in the world, i would say, has been an utter failure. so what petro is promoting is a transformation in the ways in which elicit drugs are addressed both in columbia and worldwide. and i think, you know, based upon empirical evidence in countries such as columbia, we have an interesting base from which to promote alternative strategies to address this issue in a more effective way. again, i think it remains to be seen how successful he isn't going about doing this. but i think it's clear both here and, and other countries that produce both coca and other crops that the strategies that we're implementing today have not succeeded in addressing the problem in an effective way on the ticket. we appreciate having your thoughts on this man. thank you. very much for joining us and i'll just 0. thanks so much. king is leading

presidential candidates and making their final appeals to voters ahead of elections on tuesday. i don't think is making his 5th attempt to take the country's top job. his rival is deputy president william maluso, widespread corruption and the economy a dominating election campaign. other important issues include unemployment, inflation on foreign debt. morgan webb has the latest from rayleigh, bingo valley in nairobi where the presidential hopeful has addressed the crowd. these message sounds a lot more mild than it did the last couple times when he ran for president of those songs. he was leading the opposition. but following a seismic shift in political allegiance is near kenya. he's now being backed by his former arch rival outgoing president. who kenyatta room, it's been a government for the last 9 years with william router. he's the other main contender

in the selection. still holding his final rally right now. not government seed mod, with corrupted scandals as was the one before that, the stated them and writing it was prime minister. i say for a lot of kenyan both is these promises of my thing. corruption from people that have hold held very senior roles in government known for corruption on entirely convincing motels has sent this update from rival canada, william ros election valley, which was also held in the capital. oh has been saying that no king is going to be left behind because this country is being raised following me. are you going to wait until people won't be pena, but most people. oh, you said this. felix, in between the hustler and the dentist, is that he close and i did come from a port background. this parents struggled to brittany. my dad,

he's on weight. my siding chicken under side of the road. he says the understand identified the struggling of the pool. he gonna be able to come to the main rival, right? a privilege. he's a dangerous bother with my president. he hasn't been identified with getting himself born. is the man, even though he's right now he's, he's, he's come up with how people are struggling. you know that people, the king, i mean, so to make it and that's why you say microphone for him. but you ins nuclear watch dogs condemned shelling at the zill parisha planting ukraine, saying it shows the risk of a nuclear disaster cave and moscow have accused each other by firing on europe's largest nuclear power station. it's occupied by russia, but it's still operated by ukrainian employees. ukraine's nuclear agency said a nitrogen oxygen unit at a high voltage power line of being hit ahead of the i. e. a has called on all sides

to show the utmost restraint around the plant. so when you, once today, the occupies created another extremely risky situation for everyone in europe. they fired at the separation nuclear power plant twice in one day. this is the largest nuclear power plant when our continent and any shelling of this facility is an open, brazen crime. an act of terror. ukraine is supplied largely by western weapons and it's got little ammunition to spare. so it's military's teamed up with a video game makeup in the past month. soldiers have been training on virtual firing ranges, john 100 reports from keith. ah, this is modern warfare, ukrainian style. it might look like a video game. in fact, it is made by a ukrainian gaming company, but is serious business since july ukraine's military. he started setting up arcade style centers to train its troops soon they hope to have a virtual training center like this in every brigade. a lot of shooting range has,

has been targeted by russians, rockets, so, and these are very mod, while you can set the set them up in any room or on the wrong facility. and it saw a lot cheaper. this next generation light anti tank weapon, for example, cost more than $30000.00. and it's a single use item. use it once it's finished. when i was training that i it, it took me 4 shops to finally start getting into the target. ah, which is a lot of money. it's not used expensive. ukraine's army doesn't have that kind of ammunition to spare. so more time on this range, reeves more accuracy down range weapons designed to take out large targets like this tank are often expensive and require a lot of space to fire. so laser training makes sense, but when it comes to urban combat with close up small arms fire, there's really no substitute for the real thing. live fire on

a shooting range. these ukrainian territorial defense for soldiers are aiming for constant improvement. they have for very high motivation. this is a volunteer hours all of them. ah, and this is not a conscript like taken from the street, but ross is a everyone can hear. aah! on jag, good vill to protect our homeland. they are battle hardened. having proved themselves against the russian army here in keith and in the russian occupied eastern ukrainian provinces of lou hahn's can don't. yet, for some of them, it's maybe hard, especially when they come back here through the civil life. but they're all member lives in the lives they perform well. yeah.
