i couldn't do this job without the best cumberland, best produces the best spaces and those are the people that i rely on in order to be able to get that message out to the world. the . ready of the come on several, then you get to have you with us. this is the news, our life from the coming up in the program today. hundreds of palestinians are stranded at the border between the occupied west bank and jordan. as the crossing stays closed for a 2nd day following and attack, it's back to school so many around the world, but not for 630000 students in gaza. or 85 percent of students have been destroyed or damaged by israel's sedans, rapids support forces show that
10:01 am
a crowded markets killing at least 30 people, and entering 70 and protests in the mexican capital against the outgoing presidents plans for big legal overall the we started along the border between jordan and the occupied westbank where a major crossing remains closed after a gun and killed 3 is released on sunday. hundreds of people are stranded near the crossing, hoping it will be reopened. these are pictures from the occupied west bank side of the border jordanian police have asked people not to come to the crossing as it will be closed both ways. jordan's government says an investigation and says into sundays, shooting is ongoing. it happened on the western side of the island, the border crossing along the jordan river. that side of the crossing lies in the occupied west bank, but it is controlled by is really forces that the government is said to have
10:02 am
arrived from jordan by truck. he then opened fire and the cargo area under is really control. if i had 3 rounds before being shot dead by israeli soldiers. israel closed all land crossings with jordan in response, but the alan b crossing is the only one link and palestinians in the occupied west bank to the outside world. that means it's the only way for palestinians to access air travel. there's no airport in the occupied west next. the houses here is home best, so who joins us live from the jordanian side of the border. so what is the status of the border crossing right now? we know they're closed, is that going to remain so for today and the foreseeable future, what do you know? will jordanian authorities have released the statement saying that the crossing will still be closed until further notice said was anticipated that it would reopen at 10 am local time, which is this hour, but that has since not happened around 9 am. there were travelers who were arriving
10:03 am
here in anticipation of the border crossing, being opened in order to return to their homes in the occupied westbank. but authorities had turned them away. workers had left and as you can see behind me, there aren't many travelers, vehicle buses or trucks. initially the opening was just for passengers. it was supposed to be all 3 crossings that were reopened with the status of the crossing, both in the north and in the south remains unclear at this hour. but palestinians who we've spoken to say they're stranded and are unable to get home. and this all puts jordan in, in a bit of a bind, doesn't it? because the shooter was from jordan. the shooter is a jordanian national. and jordan is a country that aspires disability and to keep great relations with its neighbors. real. the full authority is, have released the statement saying that they are working and cooperating with these
10:04 am
really is in their investigation to figure out exactly what happened and initial pro by the jordanians, found that the shoot or man had a jersey acted alone and that he was in fact, a jordanian national from the southern part of the country and he was a truck driver. so that's how he was able to ride by truck to the border. now we're also hearing from georgine authorities, but 2 other jordanian truck drivers are still in is really custody at this hour. they say, but after the shooting occurred, all of the truck drivers who came from jordan were detained. but all of them, many of them rather, were released and to still remain in custody. now we're looking at a 106 trucks who were turned away by these really sports to come back to jordan, along with the thousands of palestinian travelers. but the jordanian say they're also working with the is released to try and bring back the body of the shooter for a burial in jordan, there is quite a security cooperation because there are land borders between these rallies and the jordanians. there are 3 of them with thousands of travelers who go through them
10:05 am
every day. and this one in particular, behind me, the king hussein bridge is the only entry and exit point for palestinians from the occupied west bank. so the investigations are still ongoing and the security cooperation is still ongoing at this hour. houses are is on the south end reporting from jordan. thank you very much. i. this is really our strikes of killed 14 people in north western syria. according to syrian state media, the attacks targeted a scientific research center and defense. the bar trees in and around the city of must be off. several people have been injured. some of them are reported to be in critical condition as cost as a, in a folder covering this from the roots. and what, what more do you know about this, or kind of what can you tell us where a serious state media is describing these strikes as the most expensive in years, syria is blaming as well for these overnight strikes that target has multiple
10:06 am
locations in to governor and since central syria, our tools and come up among the targets, like you mentioned the must have a scientific and research center. it's not the 1st time that the center has been hit in recent years now as well does not usually comment on individual strikes, but it has acknowledged carrying outs, hundreds of strikes and syria, with the aim or goals to really degrade the capabilities of the run and its allies in syria to stop, for example, the supply route, the weapon supply route from a, from a run, iraq, syria, at 11 on. so what really we've been seeing in recent months and really since october we've seen these attacks become more frequent. is that as well targets warehouses the arms, the pose, the even airports when they believe that the shipment has arrived all to ensure that the round does not infringe itself militarily in syria. and it's not able to open a new front against israel, from the syria border. so this is
10:07 am
a strategy that israel has used for years now. and it seems that that is employing at 11 on as well. okay. you're looking at these is really military activities and strikes in syria, but of course also where you are in level known and there's increased activity in the southern part of the country. the of no doubt, they are employing the same strategy here. the aim is to be great, has below what we've seen in recent days isn't optic and violence after a relative period of call. really this border which we've been seeing since the since october is for roddic escalation. so an uptick and violence has been lost, increasing the number of rockets that it is firing across the border in response to as rows, intensification of strikes close to the border. so this tit for tat, but has the law focusing on towns damaging a lot of homes and this 5 kilometer deep radius along the border areas which have
10:08 am
been large, the evacuated from civilians. israel and it strikes really has been focusing on targeting has laws, military assets. so despite this uptick and violence, both sides still sticking through the unreturned rules of engagement to focus on military targets. even though we're hearing a lot of rhetoric from these relays, these really prime ministers saying that the situation needs to change. we instructed the army, the security forces to prepare for change along the border, but both sides are showing that they're still calibrating their attacks to avoid a large reward, especially since israel does not. doesn't seem to have us backing a police until the until the us elections in november as a to hold a reporting from be rude. thank you very much. that's all very useful context. i'm going to put all of that note to assemble already professor of international affairs that guitar university. so we're looking at these 2 front, syria and lebanon. so when you hear is really official speak, they'll say that they're, they're fighting 6 or 7 different fronts, right? the one that is probably, uh the,
10:09 am
the most difficult to understand and get accurate reporting on is what's going on in syria strikes like the one we just saw, 14 people reportedly killed. and we don't really know what is real is doing. they're not in a precise way. well, this is not the 1st time as you know. i mean, as though it has been grading c area over the last 2025 years, i mean, even if the pre dated october 7th, and particularly after the onset of the uprising at the is rate is have one objective. there is to prevent the iranians from consolidating their position and in syria. so the positioning over here in, in, in a force is actually a threat to, as well, from the own perspective. so they've been targeting them anywhere and the killing goal of the leaders. and there's one think also conditioning, there's very the behavior visa be the syrians as that the scene is not in control
10:10 am
of serious. so every time there is a kind of at transfer of whipping has the law and this would affect the benefit of part. so these way these things are the best way is to put them back in by attacking these convoys in military installations. iranian officials, they've been doing this, is that on the side of you, it's actually a kind of the preventive measure in order to and in order not to allow as of a law to mount an offensive. i know 1st that would probably bring as best it's nice and there's very little accountability for this, right? because nobody is actually denouncing this. he said this story and authorities are not saying anything publicly about this, so hardly the media reporting is not super accurate. it's difficult to get access to the places where the strikes are happening and to, to get great information up to date information. so these relays and everyone else is operating in syria by the way, can pretty much get away with doing what they want to insure it, as long as it's in syria, they can get away with it. yeah, there's
10:11 am
a kind of control and an arc, and then syria, we don't have the, the government that is in control of the situation in syria. and we have the scenes . we're not saying the truth and we have these raises. are always keeping silent. this is the doing not disclose what they've been doing and that's here. yeah. but do we have an idea of who is achieving what then like is this relieving that you think it's operational goals and syria. doyle. yeah. but, but this is the point, you know, the chief some of those in us, of us by targeting the senior, always say officials, uranium is one of many to many an installation. but this actually does not prevent the best hospital of what can cause a lot. i mean, if they have not succeeded into that, the end, the evidence is that his blood is in a really good position in terms of what it's really capabilities they can mount juliet and attack and his violent so on the fact that it could be even a successful one. so we know that it is believed that they didn't have any other choice other than targeting the syrians and with infinity, of course,
10:12 am
because the city of the gym is condemning these things. but without doing anything, they all as a place that they would and try and do with the retaliate. but they never did that . so these really is, you know, it's easier for them to target any place on syria and getting away with that other than targeting lebanon for, in a sense when his belie is always in a more, they'll fit for tact. so this is the situation right now. and how basically these really don't even acknowledge what they're doing and syria there. when asked about targeted strikes and syria, they always say we don't comments on media reports this. there's no even official comments on these really military side on what's going on there. we'll leave it at that for, for now. so i'm very, thank you so much for your time to. this is really strikes on the gaza strip, have killed at least 6 people. the child is among the latest victims. the youngster was killed east of gaza city and attacks that left a number of others. wounded airstrikes have been taking place throughout the strip with family homes in refugee camps. targeted bombardment has knocked out home
10:13 am
internet services in central and southern areas with the palestine. telecommunications company saying is working to restore service to you, honey. my mood is in there about in central gaza. honey, i want to ask you, i want to pick up where we left off yesterday and you were telling us about the vaccination drive. we know that you and another health groups are trying to vaccinate of 640000 children across the gaza strip. they've done the central guns or they've got done southern gaza and they're supposed to be moving up to the north . that's going to be harder access to the north is harder and fighting is also on another on a higher level in the north. what do you know of the folder multiple things involved in this whole process that is rather described by the large majority of people here as the arctic situations and starting from the internet destruction as of yesterday, as a result of the is really ongoing bombardment of particular areas,
10:14 am
densely populated areas remaining in toxic buildings, high rise building that there are still in standing in parts of dogs and city, and part of the central area and housing. the hours. the emptiness for internet, like no older the main divisions of the eastern part of the barrier that we have on there. barbara, just flip the entire javascript of the grade for a good 57 hours this will out dizzy, and that extended due to midnight. so there isn't a lot of essential work that hasn't been done because of that when it comes to the vac finish. and a lot of people are not aware of what, what were the latest updates on the vaccination campaign? we know it from yesterday from units. if, as we've heard that there was a date that was requested as an extension, because people in the eastern part of time, union city, but not get their kids backs the native because of all the scripts and the rest, impose by the presence of surveillance to drones. the talk a drones in the eastern part of the upon unit. and this 5 them are many points that
10:15 am
were designated for vaccination. people with list motivated to get out of their homes or whatever remainder of their homes for that matter to get vaccinated. but what we know so far, that's a close to $250000.00 children in the city of hon unit that includes includes the children who were displaced with their families. it from rough i city of from eastern part of con, units and other parts of the southern part of the, the gulf when it comes to know the partnership. that's completely a different story because that's not only of the vaccination and getting it rolling is, is, is the problem. we have terrible experience in the past getting humanitarian aids into the northern part of the strip. and the ongoing is really of restrictions whether the full control of the, the land, the crossing the deliberate attacks on the aid can boy and humanitarian employees. and workers and volunteers have lifted the suspension of many of the human and 3
10:16 am
and effort into another part of the strip. 2 days ago international organization including unit to could not get a permit to cross the mid 3 and the tech warranty. the northern part of district, the setup, and it started preparation for, for the vaccination. what we learned so far, right now, it's the day after tomorrow, that is a tentative dates to start, especially vaccination, and then the other part of the step. but keep it in mind all the challenges influenced by the ongoing bombardment the air strikes, to return the incursions of many of the areas in the northern part of the strip that are going to put the, the campaign at risk and might lead to a suspension in addition to requiring permit for international organization cleaning on or what and units have been health officials from the w h o is, is a really difficult let alone for lucas to get out of certain areas in big rates. do designated points in the northern parts in gauze and cities for vaccination across
10:17 am
this is a quite, it's challenging and many of these are the challenges. unfortunately, because golf into another part is a real war zone. and if we know the return, the incursions have caused many of these of these it's, it's challenges for everyone equally to provide any sort of humanitarian support or assistance to tell us the thing is, remain in golf. and the whole really display from one place to another. the real, it's john, just we've heard of from a honor. well, i'm eunice, if he is the designated sites for vaccination. and how steve, uh, is, are these points are going to be, this is not a clear yet, then whether there is a real guarantee by this really monetary not to attack these. these points are degraded sides that the positive in the fighting within the past few days. when there was vaccinations go out in the central area and the city of han unit, the revitalization of these positive, those of the fighting do are very fragile and did not hold for very long honeymoon
10:18 am
reporting from darrow balance central guy. so thank you very much, connie, in many parts of the world, is the time of year when children head back to school. but in gaza it's of course a very different story for youngsters there. more than $600000.00 palestinian students faced another year without education because of the war. among them are 40000 high school students who couldn't sit exams this year. the policy and ministry of education says nearly 10500 students have been killed and 16700 injured by is really a tax. more than 500 teachers and professors have also been killed. as of the 10th of july 2 thirds of u. n. run schools had been attacked with 76 directly targeted public schools suffered a similar fate with 285, a 448. that's more than half destroyed. nora han has more with a tearful greeting,

10:22 am
to some sense of a normal life 800000 students heading to their schools today. and we're talking about more than $2400.00 sea scouts as a scaffold across the occupied the west bank. but there's a lot of uncertainty and people here remember the counterparts, the loved ones and the disease caused us to can not go to schools. we haven't been seeing students going through me, the 3 checkpoints, and in places like jeanine into cutting, walking through the ruins of the destruction that has been closed by these really mid city reads. and did you need, or you can even do people there, started working right the way up to these really forces withdrew from the account after a 10 day rate. they could not get this pulled ready for the children to go to their classrooms today. but here enough this in part of you, it's village, particularly where we are. it's 13 year old was supposed to be in the slough behind
10:23 am
the band that beckett has been shot dead by his way. the forces on friday. now her school students. soon as we came here, we so the ministry preparing some sort, the psychological support for them and we've been speaking to them and they say that, you know, usually they see a lot of sadness in these situations. but in this case, they're talking about affairs where you don't want to smoke their 1st or 2nd a last 2 days after the school. or just this is, you know, here a reminder that they lost their loved word or classmates. we were supposed to be here with them today. instead, what happens is that he's really sucks. there is have rated and storm village and then confrontations ruptured with palestinians. so the father of the 13 year old by no choice get her to a place of safety. she gathered all the silver in one room,
10:24 am
but she was close to the windows on his way. the forces who soon came to the village full away, he subtler attacks have shot her dead. we heard from the principal of the school saying that the sister had had to go back home. she could not handle hold this was this the wise, you know, we're talking about more then or at least 79 pages in the occupied with bank who have saying to me in the last 11 months, doing the work on gaza. so why we're talking about how the students do this, trying to plan for the future. so the continuing their education, they're looking at a very on certain future a minute. thanks a lot for that lives. look at the classroom on back to school day. there are where
10:25 am
you are, a novelist let's, let's bring it out from the classroom to the wider occupied westbank. because in recent days you've covered the largest is really military rate in the west bank in 2 decades. just yesterday we saw a very rare attack that came from jordan on the border crossing between the occupied west bank and. and jordan, where does all this, this? what really seems to be sharply escalating tensions? leave the occupied rest bank, right? yes indeed we're yes, we're talking about escalating pensions wherever you're looking, closing these really governments discussing the fact that they might be imposing even more and more restrictions in new york supplies the west bank. and it comes with a time we're palestinian and have been seeing not only and their loved ones here it'd be occupied with bag. and that was these guys are still under attack, but also for an international accident. today we have a ceremony, a funeral, the procession that is a going to be heading from nap list for the american activist who has been shot
10:26 am
dead in a village and you have not missed when we are right now. after the service, we're trying to support the palestinians who often protest against their land drops . so people here feel that the danger is becoming more and more imminent and more frivolous. here the occupied westbank as these really forces, not only raising palestinian towns and refugee camps left right and center. but the subtler attacks are increasing against palestinians. again, we were talking about the students not having time to be, but also thinking about who you are thinking about what is going to happen to them when they cannot be safe in their own homes and their neighbor, him reporting from inside of school and novelist and the occupied west bank. thank you very much. i. so there's plenty more head on. this is our, including allegations of widespread sexual violence during a jail break in the democratic republic condo. and also this in
