flare up after a period of relative calm in gaza and the area surrounding the now that came after. after egypt and the u.n. had brokered some sort of understanding spitter in israel and hamas in the lead up to the israeli elections so that period has been relatively calm but lately tensions have been flaring up in especially this week on friday during friday protests two demonstrators have been killed by israeli sniper fire as well as by sniper fire from gaza two israeli soldiers were wounded and that has led to an airstrike on a military post in gaza by the israeli army or army where two. people where apparently killed so in addition to that and all the statements that the militant factions put out today that's reference to the lack of implementation

understanding set certainly have also added to devising tensions and how israel responded to this so far. has said that there have been over two hundred and twenty rockets launched into southern israel into civilian areas and the numbers are rising and so the defense system they aren't them has. shut down dozens of it at the same time the israeli army responded to the with over one hundred twenty s. trikes mainly what they call an targets related to hamas or islamic jihad but also getting reports in from gaza of some residential buildings so tensions are really high because those attacks and counterattacks are continuing as we speak and it may be very difficult night for civilians in gaza as well as in the south of

israeli media quoting an israeli official saying that the he does know of any such mediation talks so it depends now i mean both sides have said they're prepared. for a further escalation with the militant group saying they could increase the range of the rocket range but also the intensity of asteroids so we have to wait and see how the coming i was with what they really bring right tanya kramer for us in jerusalem thank you so much to thailand now where elaborate ceremonies have taken place in bangkok to crown the country's new king might have a hero a long card the sixty six year old ascended to the throne in two thousand and sixteen after the death of his father who was widely were feared and much beloved saturday's pageantry is the start of a three day ceremony that formally invests and with regal power symbolizing his consecration as the up holder of buddhism in thailand.

been reading the research so explain these findings to us these are drugs that have existed for a while right that's right these are now the standard treatment for people living with hiv aids or cold antiretroviral drugs and they basically suppress the levels of h.i.v. in the blood and basically what these findings show you is if that everyone in the world had access to days everyone in the world without chinese around just under forty million people if they had access to these drugs then there would be no. new cases of hiv in this study looked at a thousand gay couples one of whom in the partnership was hiv negative in the other one was hiv positive and was taking maize drugs and over and you period when these when these partners were having sex without a condom there was no not a single instance of hiv being passed from hiv positive to the hiv negative and now the study authors say this means people living with hiv aids who are on

effective treatment cannot pos on the virus to this sexual partners and they can say this definitively now because these backs up existing research that was done on heterosexual couples does this mean there's a cure for aids hiv now or is that something that people can't say i know you cannot say there's a cure like i said these drugs these antiretroviral drugs they they suppress the virus to undetectible levels but it doesn't mean that there is a cure or these drugs are things you need to take on an ongoing basis so you mention this a little bit but what does this mean for people who are living with hiv going forward now this means basically around the world people with hiv suffer from stigma and discrimination and i guess the stigma hasn't caught up with the advances in modern medicine that have taken place over the last thirty years where now in twenty nineteen you can take these antiretrovirals and expect to live

a perfectly normal healthy life and not worry about having to try to pass the virus on to your partner and if this this helps stigma if you know that people know that if you're on the drugs and i can't receive the virus then then that helps to reduce stigma and that's what these study authors are so this sounds so simple why can't we just give everyone at h.l.v. the proper treatment what's still standing in the way so are they there are these social issues like stigma and like just. but there are also very practical reasons too about access to testing and treatment it's estimated that of all the people with hiv the only fifty nine percent of them have access to treatment and so i guess what these findings show is that it's time to to put things into gear so that everyone with with the virus can can receive the treatment absolutely jared read a reporter for us on the story thank you so much. to the bundesliga now where
