how americans believe in justice. we could avoid all of us if we just lived up to our ideals. until then, see you in the streets. hi, and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i am robyn curnow. today marks one week of clashes between israel and hamas. some of the details might shock you. plus -- >> a miracle in a tragedy. the story of a 6-year-old survivor pulled from the rubble, and many americans are thrilled about the lifting of mask restrictions and one very important group is not, health care workers on the front lines,

and we hear from one nurse leading the charge to mask back up. >> live from cnn center, this is cnn "newsroom" with robyn curnow. good to have you along this hour. so the intense conflict in israel and gaza is now in its second week and the deadliest in years. at last check the death toll in gaza has climbed to 197. at least ten people in israel died in rocket attacks fired from gaza according to the israeli military. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says over 1,500 targets have been hit in gaza in recent days and right now there appears to be no break in the escalating cycle of violence.

explosions lit the sky early on monday morning, and israel says it struck nine homes belonging to high-ranking hamas commanders. nic robertson looks back at the week of deadly fighting. >> reporter: first, hamas's rockets into israel, followed by israeli's fast response, and a week accelerated war later and fear and suffering on both sides, and gaza's death toll higher, and different this time militants sophisticated heat-seeking weapons and hamas's rockets, more of them reaching further from gaza, but a greater intensity than ever before, cutting deeper into israel's sense of safety.

also different, sudden open confrontation between israeli's arabs and jews, taking israel by surprise. >> we have not seen this kind of conflict. >> on the west bank, anger ignited by the suffering, resulting in deadly confrontation with israeli police. >> if you combine all that together, it is a very different situation than what we have seen in the past. >> before the first rocket fired, a perfect storm brewing, planned palestinian evictions in jerusalem, and collective palestinian pain raising tensions, worsened by heavy-handed police tactics at islam's holiest site that hamas

exploited. all against the background of political stagnation and increasing polarization. >> in the last ten years we have seen a swing in israel to the right, and that pendulum is swinging further to the right and that has enabled this kind of chauvinistic. >> both sides having increasing pressure to end the conflict. >> the question will be do the israelis feel they have exacted enough of a price on hamas and is hamas ready to end this? >> saturday night, hamas signaled they're ready, stopping rocket attacks on tel aviv for two hours, and netanyahu whose political prospects rose over the past week seems less willing. sunday the deadliest day of the week in gaza. >> we're trying to degrade

hamas's terrorists abilities and degrade their will to do this again, and it will take time and hope it won't take long, but it's not immediate. >> with international pressure mounting, too, just possible this gaza conflict will not go a second week. the problems that caused it, however, have no resolution in sight. nic robertson, cnn, israel. >> well, and there have been more air strikes this morning. israeli military's footage, and want to bring it up the warplanes hitting a tunnel shaft, and it's near a kindergarten and mosque. what else are they saying about the video just into cnn? >> robyn, we are 15 1/2 miles from the strip, and all morning

long we have been hearing jets buzz overhead and occasional explosions and we have seen a black plume of smoke, and the israeli military confirmed that overnight and over the past few hours they have struck several of what they say are hamas targets including the homes of what they are saying are hamas commanders and where they were storing weapons, and this has been one of the main targets the israeli military has been aiming for in the most recent conflict and it's a series of thousands of kilometers of tunnels under all of gaza, which they say were used for everything from hiding to storing weapons to operation centers, and over the last few hours they say they have targeted one of those, which as you noted the israeli military was positioned near a kindergarten and mosque. this is one of the constant issues it has with hamas not only firing rockets but they use

civilians as shields and we have seen that as one of the reasons behind taking down some of the buildings in gaza, including the building that hosted the associated press in al jazeer offices, and they were using that building for military intelligence and they said hamas hides behind civilians but we are seeing increasing condemnation around the world over just the horrific death toll and destruction that we are seeing in gaza as you noted, and we're at 197 palestinians in gaza have been killed, and more than 55 of them children. israel said they killed at least 75 militants, and i do have to say that this is the city that according to the israeli military has received the highest number of red alert sirens indicating incoming rocket attacks and since around 9:00 last night we have not

heard a siren which is a rather extended period of call for the city, and whether that's an indication that things are calmi calming down is hard to say, but we know the international pressure and the diplomatic work behind the scenes continues between the u.s., which sent one of the top middle east envoys to this region to try and talk to both sides, the egyptians and qatars are working on this, and netanyahu said yesterday they are planning to fulfill the operation until the objections have been met in trying to degrade hamas as much as possible, and we are continuing to see suffering and destruction on both sides, robyn. >> thank you for that report there. the u.s. is calling for de-escalation of the violence. president biden spent the weekend on the floor with prime

minister benjamin netanyahu and the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas. >> we're also believed palestinians and israelis equally deserve to live in safety and security and enjoy equal freedom, prosperity and democracy, and my administration is going to continue to engage palestinians and israelis and other regional partners to work towards sustained calm. >> meantime the biden administration is receiving growing criticism from lawmakers from both parties over its handling of the crisis. adam schiff urged the administration to push harder to end the fighting. >> i think we need to do everything possible to bring about a cease-fire and the administration needs to push harder on israel and the palestinian authority to stop the violence, bring about a cease-fire and end the hostilities.

>> also on sunday more than 25 democratic and independent senators released a joint statement calling on a cease-fire. meanwhile, further stress added to hospitals and care workers in the middle east, and two people died and more than 100 were injured when a bleacher collapsed in a synagogue in the west bank and ben weederdeman wn the scene. >> reporter: this unrelated to the current crisis in which several dozen people were injured and several killed in a catastrophe in the west bank settlement. hundreds of worshippers co commemorating the jewish holiday when suddenly the bleachers collapsed. we spoke to one of the first

responders that described the scene as pandemonium with the injured piled on top of one another, and we also spoke to the head of the regional medical services. this is what he said. >> we saw the pictures immediately. we stand around 40 or 50 ambulances, including intensive care units with many paramedics, they arrived over here and treated patients who were injured. evacuate the people, more than 100 people, several type of them were injured and went to the hospital in jerusalem. >> i'm ben wedeman. >> thanks for that. coming up on cnn, officials in taiwan say there's no need to panic and rush out and buy

groceries, and how the island went to seemingly containing the virus to the worst outbreak yet. we have a live report from taipei. that, too, is next. our extended release melatonin helps you sleep longer. and longer. zzzquil pure zzzs all night. fall asleep. stay asleep.

india reported a significant dip in daily covid cases with numbers below 3,000 in nearly a month, and the indian government announced a plan to contain covid in rural areas which is certainly seeing some of the worst surges. elsewhere in asia taiwan is increasing its coronavirus restrictions after a new surge in cases there. all schools will be closed for two weeks starting tuesday in taipei and taipei cities. will ripley is in taiwan. i will get to you in a moment. anna, can you give us an update on the situation in india, and just how folks are dealing with it over there? >> you mentioned the numbers robyn, and that comes usually over the weekend, and for the

first time in 25 days infections have dropped below 300,000. it's inline with modeling that they have reached their peak, and we are seeing is surge in covid in rural areas, and we have to remember that two-thirds of indians live in regional india. the government is finally paying attention to this part of the world and are saying community centers, schools, government buildings are going to be used to care for covid patients, mild cases, and that rural health clinics will be stocked with oxygen and beds remembering there was a short supply of both, oxygen and bed supplies in the cities, and the prime minister finally addressed the people of india last friday where he talked about them being on the war footing dealing with the invisible enemy and said

focus must turn to the regional areas. much of the country is in lockdown despite the prime minister enforcing a nation-wide ban, and in the capital of new delhi, the government has come and arrested 15 people because they put up posters saying, mr. prime minister, why did you send children vaccines o overseas. >> thanks for that update. >> will ripley, to you in taipei, so far up until now taiwan had been doing pretty well. how are people feeling about the new restrictions? >> it's certainly unsettling,

robyn, and just moments ago we got the numbers, 333, and that's a new record for taiwan, and that's why both are now shutting down schools starting tomorrow for the next two weeks, and also suspending operations of some local city councils all in an effort to try and get people to stay inside, and stay away from the kind of large gatherings that are being blamed on the latest spike. taiwan was one of the first in the world in the onset of the pandemic to shutdown, and as a result they virtually eliminated local cases for many months and life returned to normal, and up until a few days ago, people were out at night markets and restaurants and they were gathering in large groups with their family and friends and life felt normal. little did they know that a new infection had occurred and was being spread precisely because of the lack of social

distancing, and the complacency where people enjoyed a relatively quality of life, and now they are in a situation where there's no herd immunity for the island of 23 million people, and they have an acute vaccine shortage right now and the government has almost run out of the vaccine supply, and it's a challenge in part because of the complicated relationship between the mainland and taiwan and you have a shortage of vaccines, a lot of people who are not immune, and as a result we are seeing at least in these early days a lot of compliance here on the streets of taipei, streets that were just full of people just a few days ago, and now all but empty, robyn, people hoping that will be enough to stop the surge in cases, although government officials say they expect the case numbers

to parttick up, and could be a h go for a while. >> good to have you there on the ground, will ripley. thank you, as always. the u.s. is in a different position. take a look at the green you see here, and those states are seeing a decrease of new cases in the past week, and only a few states are heading in the wrong direction. progress against the virus is prompting many places to ease restrictions for fully vaccinated americans. much of britain can reopen for business. starting on monday you can grab a pint at the pub, and even hug a friend or two. a big reason for the uk's turn around is the success of its vaccine rollout according to our world.

the british vaccine rollout is reaching the most isolated parts of the uk as well. on the islands located in the far north part of scotland, a break in the spring snow finally allowed vaccines to get in by plane. >> where the atlantic ocean meets the north sea, the weather is often dramatic, and always changing. it rolls over a group of british islands 100 miles north of the scottish mainland. in this remote, beautiful place, the landscape feels raw and powerful. these gusting hills are known for their often feisty ponies, and these waters are shared with

their apex predators, and well into spring an arctic blast can blanket everything, grounding aircraft and delaying a potentially life-saving petition. on the islands the weather governs all. including efforts to rollout the coronavirus vaccine. eventually the skies clear and an operation is launched to protect one of the uk's most isolated communities from the regions' only hospital, the doses are dispatched to the airfield. and escorted by nurse, margaret cooper. her job is to distribute the vaccine on an extraordinary place, a tiny wedge of land surrounded by open ocean. steep cliffs, sloping fields and more than a few sheep, and that's it.

people live here. just 45 people. soon we see them striding out, converging on the small building used as a medical office. that's where margaret cooper gets to work. >> you come and have a seat. >> a strong mix of jolly warmth -- >> all the better for this glorious day. >> and no nonsense efficiency. >> sharp scratch. sharp scratch. there we go. >> the residents here are grateful. >> how are you feeling today? >> the sun is shining after a week of snow, and we have had our second vaccines, so pretty good. >> unlike the rest of the uk everybody here is getting vaccinated at the same time regardless of age. >> very happy to have had the second jab, and very privileged.

>> for all the obvious reasons life here is isolating, but especially during the pandemic. for more than a year the isle has been devastated. >> jimmy has spent most of his 77 years on the island. >> it's been very quiet like i was a child growing up here, and there's tourism now with people coming and going, but it's been very quiet. >> getting the doses here has been challenging, but injecting them into arms has been challenging, and now they have some piece of mind. tommy is one of the last. he moved here from upstate new york 15 years ago. >> there are people all over the world that desperately want this

vaccine, and here we are in fair isle and you have got it. >> i thought fair isle would be the last place to get the vaccine. >> it's a rare pandemic success story, but it's about more than just securing enough doses, it's an achievement build through the organizational power built through the experience of committed local staff. >> did you have any side effects after the last one -- >> margaret cooper says it's the proudest chapter of her 50-year nursing career? >> it's an honor to be part of the vaccination program and feel that you are contributing. >> a crucial contribution to a precedential operation. >> thanks to phil for that

and you are watching cnn. it's now the second week and the conflict in gaza and israel shows no signs of ending. the military says it hit a hamas tunnel in gaza, and there was a claim of rockets fired at southern israel. the innocence of childhood provides no protection against the horrors of the conflict. this little girl is six and was pulled from the rubble in her home, and her father was wounded and here's how he described what happened. >> translator: i was under the rubble. i was stuck in a place. my hand was under a pole and my legs under another pole. i was in a bad situation. i heard my son's name calling,

daddy, daddy. his voice was okay, but i couldn't turn and look at him because i was trapped. then i started to say, god, god -- >> the son that this injured father mentioned did not make it, nor did his mother and three other siblings. palestinian officials say at least 58 people have been killed in gaza during the current conflict. in some places anger over the current conflict blends with rage from decades ago and that happened on saturday. >> on a lebanese hilltop overlooking israel they gathered to mark 73 years since what they call the catastrophe. some commemorated with selfies,

and most chose the traditional chants that echoed through these valleys for decades. soon small groups of men made their way down to the border fence to take part in another long-standing tradition, stone throwing. soldiers try to control the youth's anger but a sole remember annual climbs to the top, and a man died doing the same, but with the barrier of fear now broken, demonstrators grew boulder. -- bolder. >> they are throwing, rocks, sticks, anything they can get their hands on over the border fence, and we have heard what appears to be the sound of gunfire. we're throwing stones at the israelis that occupied our lands this man tells me. we wish the lebanese army would

let us cross. then a collective effort to scale the nearly 25-foot call concrete walls began. those that made it to the top hoisted their flags, and others chose to send a more direct message. israel says acts like these threaten its national security, but the mother of one of the men hanging atop the observation tower told me this is their resistance. we are in pain, she tells me. this is happening to jerusalem and the arab governments are asleep. where are their morals. as perch capacity was maxing out, a tear-gas canister landed in the crowds and lebanese troops quickly moved in and dispersed the gathering. the day ended as it began, with loud promises to march to jerusalem from a crowd that knows it can do no such thing.

cnn on the lebanese israeli border. coming up next, bracing for impact. we're tracking a rare and powerful cyclone barrelling up india's west coast, and we'll go live to the weather center after the break.

the hills are on fire in portions of southern california. take a look at these images. the los angeles county fire department says this blaze scorched more than 1,200 acres and 1,000 people have already left their homes, and other residents are being told to stand by for evacuation orders. conditions in the area are dry but arson is suspected in this case. a powerful tropical cyclone is growing in strength, and it's already claimed at least six lives as it moves north towards the peninsula with winds topping 200 kauilometers an hour.

>> the storm is approaching with winds equivalent to a cat 4 hurricane, and the significance of the storm here and really the rarity of it for such a strong storm is this western periphery of india is also worth noting. note two of india's most popular cities are here in the path of the storm system, and landfall will be in the next 18 hours. the storm is paralleled the coastal region and produced half a meter of rainfall, which in some of these areas is impressive ahead of the monsoon season that starts in the next couple of weeks. 85 million people across this western periphery set to be impacted with this particular storm. we will follow this carefully, and because we know of this, the

base can get into problems with storm surge can be high, and we talked about how rare the storm is, and we have to go back to 1998 where we had a storm of a cat 3 equivalent. around you, the population around 55,000 people, that's where the storm is expected to make landfall. they had not seen a single drop of rainfall until the last couple of hours, and a lot of flooding going to be seen here as well, robyn. >> thanks for the update. we'll check in again a little later. and then the olympic torch was carried through japan's prefecture on sunday, and then

hiroshima, and that will be complicated. new coronavirus cases have been spreading rapidly across japan, and anti-olympic sentiment is growing. thanks so much for joining us here on cnn. if you are an international viewer, world sport is next. if you are watching us here in the u.s. or canada, i will be right back with more news for you.

welcome back. so one of america's top health officials is trying to put the public at ease after her agency lifted masking requirements for fully vaccinated people. it was an abrupt change and led to a lot of questions. >> the reopening excitement is palpable, but with the cdc's new guidance out last week, the most vaccinated americans no longer need to wear masks, there's also confusion, and where can they take off their masks and how do we know those taking off their

masks are vaccinated. >> in terms of the honor system, people have to be honest with themselves. you are protected if you are vaccinated. >> with less than 45% of eligible americans fully vaccinated according to the cdc, lifting mask mandates come with caveats. dr. anthony fauci said sunday more clarity would come within the next few weeks about work places and other situations. >> i would imagine within a period of a couple weeks you will start to see significant clarification of some of the actually understandable and reasonable questions that people are asking. >> in the meantime, states and local governments are left sorting out the new guidance in rhode island the government said vaccines are the key to lifting reg regulations. e people who are vaccinated can enjoy the freedom of those

without mask inside, and we are not giving the state of rhode island a pass in terms of not being vaccinated, because it's safe and it saves lives and everybody should be getting vaccinated in our state and around the country. >> the science around vaccination has not changed and experts say more americans need to get their shots if the country has a chance at herd immunity, and that process is slow and maybe will get a boost with new guidance allowing younger people to get vaccinations, and that means all schools should reopen for all full-time classes, and that doesn't mean americans are ready to abandon the mask. >> we can't have mask shaming. if people want to wear a mask for protection they should be able to. >> cnn, new york. frontline workers who have seen the pandemic's devastation

firsthand say the cdc's sudden reversal on masks is too soon. the largest union of nurses says now is not the time to relax protective measures and we are outraged that the cdc has done just that while still in the midst of the deadliest pandemic in a century. jean ross joins me now from bloomington, minnesota. thank you for joining us this hour. why on nurses outraged at this decision? >> well, we are confused. we were a little stunned to see it. we know that we are not out of the woods yet with the pandemic, so as we have been trying to educate people to do all the mitigating factors together, masks and hand washing, and distancing and proper

ventilation, and it came as kind of a shock that now the cdc says if you are vaccinated you don't have to wear masks. so people, including our patients and fellow nurses are saying, you know, we're very confused, we finally got people to understand what we want them to do, this looks like a turn about and it seems a little too soon. >> is this about timing then? >> i think so. i mean, obviously there's going to come a time when we can all freely go without masks, but right now in the depths of it we are still seeing over 35,000 cases every day, over 600 deaths, so that might not have rivals when we were panicking about the number of deaths and cases, but it's nothing to sneeze at. still only 36.7% of all of us

are fully vaccinated. people are concerned about knowing if the person next to them that isn't wearing a mask is fully vaccinated or is an anti-vaccer or avoid of being vacced, and they quite frankly don't count on people not lying to them. >> so it's about trust then, trusting other americans to do the right thing? >> it has been about trust. it's about confusion. it's about people who do what we do. nurses on the frontline, health care workers, and other frontline workers and essential workers, it has been hard enough being the mask police, now to be the vaccine police, they don't want to do it. it's already hard enough. it's putting an awful lot of stress on workers, and it's putting stress on just everyday people, too. we worked so hard to get them to a point where they could trust

so that they are more and more of them getting the vaccine, and now this kind of puts a shink in the armour. >> when you say you were surprised, do you think you can perhaps have consultations and conversations with the cdc and get them to reverse their advice? >> well, we're hoping to. we have been in touch. what we did was we likened it to this, as a nurse if i have, let's say you as a patient, and a big part of my job is to educate you certainly before you leave the hospital, in doing my assessment, if it looks to me like you are very confused and don't understand what we just put together for a plan, i would resize it and i would say let's start over. so that's what we are hoping the cdc will do. to that end we've asked people to go to nnu.org/mask and they

can join on a petition to do the same thing. >> many americans, particularly those who are vaccinated, say, you know, this is the reward, this is what you get when you are vaccinated. we have gone through a terrible year. america is ahead of the curve now and handing out vaccinations even to kids over the age of 12, so we want to go to the theater and to pool parties and summer camp this summer. what do you say to those people who say, listen, i have done by bit and gotten vaccinated and i don't need a mask. >> well, i would say you do. i think there's a very freeing feeling, i, myself am vaccinated, and it was a big relief to me but that doesn't mean i am free and clear and it certainly doesn't mean that somebody close to me is either. so those kinds of things that we want to do that you macentioned

we can feel a little freer about it, and if you are outside that's better than in a closed ventilation with poor ventilation, and with our infrastructure a lot of our buildings are, and we told folks to mitigate their risks, and that should still inbound place. >> at last count, we spoke before we came on air, and 400 nurses have died because of covid because of the direct work they are doing, and jean ross, thank you very much for joining us. please, if you can send our thanks and gratitude to all of the nurses you represent. thank you for joining us. >> we'll do. one police officer in charlotte, north carolina, is reaching out to people over airways. diane gallagher has the story of

how he's bridging the gap between law enforcement and the hispanic community. >> reporter: the officer patrols the streets of charlotte with one goal in mind, changing the way the community perceives law enforcement. along the way he greets familiar faces, while also meeting new ones. but for after jimenez the outreach also extends to the airways, a tool proving to be even more effective during a pandemic, and he hosts a weekly show towards the hispanic community in charlotte discussing topics like crime prevention, road safety and -- >> i give out information, and it's truthful information that comes from the source. i answer questions and clear out misconceptions that people have.

>> one of the misconceptions is that people believing his police department works with immigration. but bridging the gap is paying off. >> i have received very, very positive feedback from the community. people are very happy that they have a latino officer who speaks their language and who knows our culture. >> jimenez, a law enforcement veteran also volunteers at a local food bank feeding hundreds of families in need and putting on toy drives. for this chilean native, this is a dream come true. >> i have to learn english and do everything everybody does and work hard to become a citizen and then i became a police officer, and that was my dream, and so i see a need and i think

i can make a huge difference in my community. >> diane gallagher, cnn, atlanta. >> thanks, diane, for that. so india, the tiger that went missing made it to the sanctuary. the man last seen with the tiger and his wife were the owners of the big cat despite what their attorney says. while they iron that out the humane society says the tiger won't have to wear the blinged out collar anymore, and india will be able to live like a wild animal again. that wraps this hour of cnn "newsroom," and i will hand you over to rosemary church in just a minute.

hello, and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and around the world. you are watching cnn "newsroom." i am rosemary church. just ahead a barrage of air strikes overnight after a deadly weekend along the israeli-gaza border. taiwan was once hailed a covid success story and now it's battling a sudden surge of cases of the coronavirus. and then the campaign to cancel the olympics gains groun
