10:02 pm
hello, after the deadliest escalation and violence since last year's war in gaza, israel says it's reached a cease fire with the palestinian group is lemay, she had $41.00 palestinians including 15 children have been killed since the fighting began on friday after israel launched what it described as preemptive strikes on gaza. it claimed it was only targeting members of islamic jihad, but proceeding officials at least one 3rd of the death have been civilians to seniors. i mean, you had commanders have been killed in the strikes, including the groups leader in southern gaza colored men saw. the group is retaliated with hundreds of rockets fired across the board at some as far as jerusalem. israel's army says, 97 percent have been intercepted. all this, while food and fuel is fast running out the people living in garza, mr. and getting 4 to 8 hours of electricity a day with crossing points into the strip closed since tuesday. i tell you her name
10:03 pm
is in west jewish limit 1st. let's get 2 separate includes in garza separate. tell us more about to the ceasefire that we're hearing that all i met of the conflicting group, her report re called the one of our syrian islamic jihad leaders who confirmed talk . that is, let me just, we'll wait for the egyptian to announce on submit their proposal for the cease fire . then they will respect that. yes, we have a receiving lots of when you related the news, but the confirm think is why i was let me you had senior official bahama lindy or confirm that they will accept it once they gibson's announcement on the ground that still da qualifying and fighting groups are still firing their rockets on those values are also carrying at docs and civil places all over the goddess, according to hindi. by the way,
10:04 pm
the cease fire should come into effect in 2030 g, which is $1130.00 local time, and less than one hour and a half hour from now. thank you very much, sir. let spring in natasha. go name. he's live in west jerusalem and says what you've been hearing prime minister. yeah. a year le peed at this hour as that the central military base in tel aviv he is conducting what has been described as an assessment ahead of the cease fire that is slated to take effect 90 minutes from now, by all measures, this operation it's been dubbed operation breaking dawn has been characterized by his government as a success. earlier sunday, he called it an extraordinary achievement that the government was or that the military was able to, if not most, all of the senior leadership of the atomic jihad be able to eliminate them. and
10:05 pm
another strategic when, according to the government, is that it was able to kind of create a divide between islamic jihad and hamas, which governs garza because hamas stayed on the sidelines. the only salvos it fired was bombastic rhetoric and not rockets since friday. so that is why your repeat said several hours ago that the mission had been completed. the objectives had been fulfilled and that there was no reason for the operation to continue. there of course was a lingering concern that if the operation continued and the death toll rose in gaza, that perhaps hamas might be, it might be tempted to enter the freight. that is not something that repeats government has said that they wanted. they have said from the beginning that this operation was to target is summit. she had to force an attack planned attack against israel, and that there was no appetite for
10:06 pm
a larger protracted battle. that said, repeat has made clear that israel has 0 tolerance for attacks coming from gaza. right now. israel's also facing a lot of international pressure because the situation in gaza as you've been hearing is quite dire. so israel will be definitely pressed to open up the crossing so that humanitarian aid can get in. and the thousands of workers from gaza who work in israel can get back to work and to ship. and i'm thank you very much indeed . or there is, you know, say it has been that following developments in gaza and that's more on the day's events. israel has carried out the 3rd day of air rates of the gaza strip. message struck refugee counts and destroyed apartment building. eye witnesses say the attacks took place without warning. witnesses the we were praying.
10:07 pm
suddenly we found a miss ayla now home. we didn't know where it hit us from. it was so sudden and a little rough. israel says the target was pasting a line you had, and the 2 of the armed groups leaders have been killed. hi, lindman sued a senior member of the goods brigade. the group's motor wing was killed in rafa near the addiction border. israel also, essays, tunnels. i'll post rocket launch sites and weapons stores has been destroyed. islamic jihad responded by firing rockets still with israel symbol which were shot down by the i don't miss heil defense system. other smaller power groups are also believe to have fire rocky separate countries and are going to have condensed the violence. the un humanitarian coordinator for garza said, she's gravely concerned by the civilian death is in injury while another you,
10:08 pm
what official says the israeli attacks are not just legal, but you are responsible and that god stuff is on the verge of the humanitarian crisis. with border crossing, still close, no humanitarian or medical aid is able to enter garzo. a fuel shortage has already forced the sole power plant to shut down, and hospitals are warning of dire consequences if assistance does not arrive soon. you may see al jazeera, gaza city. a machine as a teacher, mother who lives in garza, she describes the trauma, her children of suffered with the latest is ready attacks. we tried to distract him because we know that once they ask questions, we don't have answers or, or we can answer them. but we know in their eyes that may know that we are liars. i've been telling them that it is fireworks. and but this is a new to me because now i have
10:09 pm
a baby girl. this is different from the last were because this girl is 6 months old . this is our 1st aggression. and i don't have my husband, my husband is doing an m e in, in wyoming. so i all hear by my own and i, i know that my situation is not in combat. the other mothers who has waking up finding they are homeless, finding that their, their, their, their children are buried under durable. and to tell you that through, at some point i started to feel that my keeps in the guys and children are some kind of an entertainment material for the world. i mean, i was trending the last warren, i'm trending before. so what then? cases are ill besides tool to plan a warren. it took to launch a, a war like it, america supports it, and nobody stops them. ah,
10:10 pm
ukraine has accuse russia of, again shelling, europe's largest nuclear power plant is parisha. can you says russian forces damaged 3 radiation centers on saturday night at least one worker was injured. the separation of land was captured by russian forces in march. they still run by ukrainian technicians, un atomic observers worn military activity at the site could cause a new friends state emergency services release video, showing the aftermath of shelling in the southern port city of mich elias, emergency personnel can be seen putting out a fire on the roof of the building, it's not known if there were any casualties in the attack. on saturday, ukraine's state security service detained to men accused planning strikes on ship building infrastructure in live. russia denies targeting civilians in what is described as a special military operation in ukraine. the 1st grain ship to leave ukraine since
10:11 pm
russia invaded, has experienced a denay and does not dr. lebanon, his plans, the resume, left a death last monday, carrying tens of thousands of tons of corn. it was due in tripoli by sunday, and it is okay why it hasn't arrived. the delay comes as for more cargo ships, sale out of ukrainian ports in the black sea. they left almost 170000 tons of grain under an export deal negotiated by turkey and the un before the war. russia and ukraine accounted for nearly a 3rd of global grain export party, supplying some of the world's poorest countries come 100, joined his life from ukraine's capital came. and john at present lensky is accused . the russians of nuclear taro tell us more about what's been happening at these bridge power as right zillow, as he wants to have an international investigation, he wants officials from the international atomic energy agency to go to that site
10:12 pm
and to investigate what's happening. he's, he does call it nuclear tear. what ukrainians are saying is that the russians have been firing from the site of that nuclear facility. well, that naturally draws return fire, but ukraine says it wasn't the military that struck that cited insist that russia was the one that did that. and today we had a worker injured during yet another strike on that facility. so there is a legitimate concern around the world. this is the largest nuclear facility, not just in ukraine, but in europe, and it could cause a nuclear disaster, as we saw, ensure noble, back in the eighty's. so this is a major concern, not just as a lensky, but also the international community. the head of the i. e. a raphael grossi said he was extremely concerned. he said there was a very real risk of disaster invite his ass or he doesn't just mean in ukraine. so
10:13 pm
there will perhaps be an investigation. but it's a difficult situation because van facility is behind the russian line. that means there are russian troops around it. russian troops firing around it and inside our ukrainian workers essentially working at gunpoint under the direction of the russians. so whether or not this investigation will come off or not, that is unclear. the, the company that owns that particular facility, it's a ukrainian company. they said it was sheer luck that in this strike today, there wasn't a radiation leave because there were spent nuclear rods and those are left out in the open air in that portion of the facility. and there was a risk of radiation coming out if that actual site had been breach. so that is a concern to be a zalesky concern is who is to blame for this? he says it's the russians and to lead on to the grain shipments, what more do we know about the new grain shipments that are happening?
10:14 pm
well, they seem to be going by and large, smoothly. you've got that 1st ship left last week and on friday had 3 more and on sunday you had yet for more than 8 ships so far. but the problem is they've got $25000000.00 tons of grain, and their goal is to move it at about $3000000.00 tons a month. well, that takes most of the year, 7 or 8 months to move all that and then you've got that was last year's harvest. so this year's harvest is being reaped right now, at least the week portion of that farmers are out there and we were with them as they were mowing those fields and reaping, that we, that eventually will have to go to the port. and that will also have to be distributed, so this will have to be a really efficient system. and these ships are going through water that had to be cleared of mind mines. so it's a perilous endeavor from the farms where there are mines on those farms as well
10:15 pm
into the waters and to their ultimate destination where the world is hoping to avert a global food shortage. john 100, thank you very much indeed. still to come on out 0 the to frontrunner his mind to become kenya's next president about to stand out corruption. but voters question their records. ah hello there. it's known as the land of gelata. so it's no surprise that italy is seeing an ice cream boom, as temperatures continue to rise and that's as heat cleans on. to the south east of europe, we're into the temperatures continue to rise in places like romania. but we've got another plume of hot and moving in from the south west. that's going to knock temperatures up, not just in spain and portugal, and france, but also in the u. k. now if we have a look at the 3 day for london,
10:16 pm
we are expecting to touch 30 degrees by thursday, clear skies and sunshine to be enjoyed. now while it is a hot and dry story, we are however scenes and thunderstorms triggered by a lot of that heat for place like northern italy, trickling down into the south and across from those balkan states like romania a lot of that where, where the edging up into western areas of russia, knocking temperatures down in places like moscow, but fine and dry to the west of that. across the iberian peninsula, just a few showers. the search for northern areas of spain, temperatures continuing to climb. however, for cities like madrid and that's reflected across northern areas of africa, particularly in egypt, temperatures on the up $38.00 degrees in cairo on monday. ah, in a post colonial wo. the scars of european imperialism run deep. nowhere more so than
10:17 pm
in the democratic republic of congo, where her history still shapes the president of this rule. yet infamous insight through the eyes of a whistleblower and the patriotic military commander. witness presents this is congo. honor, j 0 lou ah. from one of the top stories here now to 0 of the deadliest escalation involved since last year's warren garza, israel says it's reached a cease fire with a palestinian group. islamic jihad is due to come into force in just over an hour.
10:18 pm
at 2030 g m. t ukraine is accused russia of, again shelling, europe's largest nuclear power plant in f. a richer keeps his russian forces damaged 3 radiation senses on saturday night. and he's one worker, was injured, firefighting teams from mexico and venezuela, a help in cuba battle flames that have engulfed a major oil storage facility. oil tanks at the facility in returns us have been burning since it was struck by lightning on friday. at least one cuban firefighter has died, and more than a dozen others are missing. officials say a 122 people have been injured and augustine now joined his life from martin's us. and what's happening where you on and is this affecting power supplies in cuba? it hasn't affected paula supplies, as you can see behind me, there's this gigantic clue in the smoke a supertankers because
10:19 pm
each one has 300000 gallons of oil inside the lightning stuck on friday, causing want to have exploded and keep in 5 sites isn't as you mentioned in your, in your introduction now the venezuelan and mexican 5, i'd just like to stop the tank from catching so, and as you can see when, when it unfortunately just picked up in a minute on it flowing straight on to that. so it's pretty critical just to clarify the pilot storing crude oil, not a petroleum products, but keep in mind the power plant is less than a kilometer away from what is the main power, blah. things are very, very critical here in terms of power concept already power cups throughout the country. and this can only so bad news for an already dire situation and how cubans reacting to wish this is
10:20 pm
what this is comprehend the sense of tragedy in cuba. it's just being one thing off for another whole world's lives. upon demik carrying cuba destroyed tourism, which is a main revenue stream. one of the revenue streams for this island. so economic ruin where the trump sanctions before and during that exploding hotels hotel exploded months ago. and now this and it's literally, it's a bull, some lightnings on. it says that the guns were against the islands. and these munson yes, and that's the feeling on the island just overwhelming tragedy. i guess a big question is how, as, as a days and weeks passed and it's, there are more power cuts as i'm, i'm so i will be and i'm just saying that will be how is the population going around? is this going to be a moment where the society comes together and supports the government and understand this is out of the 100 enlightening so you can take the cuban government is obviously, i think, but not the cuban president earlier today was meeting with the victims of the i have 100 people who've been injured front on the fire fighters who presumed dead
