in tel aviv palestinian militants overwhelmed israel's defense system with a barrage of rockets it's been many years since residents of the coastal city have been forced to shelter in their cellars the palestinian islam is say they too are ready for conflict. but almost if israel wants to escalate we're ready for it and if it wants to stall for also ready if they want to remove their hand over jerusalem we're ready. violence also broke out between israeli arabs and jews in israel. a state of emergency has been declared in ludd and ever protesters clashed with israeli police and. it's the worst violence since 2014 and there are fears it could become a full scale war world powers now pleading for both sides to put down their weapons . we are deeply concerned about the escalation between israel and those

launching rockets from gaza and we call for restraint and for calm. but now both sides are counting their dead. and hoping for victory. and meanwhile the german chancellor merkel's administration has condemned the rocket attacks on israel by militant groups saying israel has a right to self-defense hamas a mouse and its extremist allies of launched more than a 1000 missile strikes against israel since monday it's used the same is to kill indiscriminately mentions people in israel have had to take refuge in an air raid shelters and some have already been killed by rocket attacks that includes both arab and jewish citizens of israel's the german government condemns in the strongest terms the sustained missile attacks from the gaza strip on israeli cities nothing justifies this violence is the rail has the right to. defend itself against

these attacks. i like to welcome now where daniel kurtzer who is a former us ambassador to egypt and israel and he is currently professor of middle eastern policy studies at princeton university sir thank you so much for your time on the biden administration arguably facing its 1st major international crisis and it is choosing to stay on the sidelines is that a good idea no it's not a good idea at all because we're in a mad rush to full scale full scale war and it's a war that neither hamas nor israel really wants but each of them has reasons to respond to the other's provocations and neither of them has the capability of getting out of this on their own we've seen this movie before 2014 and that war went on for almost 2 months with hundreds and hundreds of casualties and so with

there needs to be an activation of very serious diplomacy and not just words there has to be actions by the united states and others including in the arab world to try to tamp down this rush to a war where arguably the only country really with any significant leverage and the ability to make a meaningful impact and intervention at this stage is the u.s. . well we have the relationship with israel to hopefully have some prospect of success but we don't talk to hamas and much of europe does not talk to hamas and that means that the united states cannot do this alone we certainly can take the lead we can certainly be a major player but we're going to have to work with egypt other arab states including those states that just recently normalize relations that are able to talk to hamas and find ways to reduce this escalate towards spiral now earlier

we for her death from the state department spokesperson who as actually is calling for both sides to deescalate tensions but also saying that israel has the right to defend itself a lot of people are asking at this stage do palestinians have the right to self defense. well there's no question that everyone has the right of self defense and that's why it's so hard to sort out responsibility here the immediate issue to deal with is the escalation between hamas and israel that started with hamas rockets but you have to remember that the hamas rockets were in a sense a reaction to a situation in jerusalem that had been provoked by israeli extremists not the government but israeli extremists who were seeking to dispossess palestinians of homes in their neighborhood and so there's a lot to be adjudicated on both sides simply hiding behind the idea of self-defense

is not going to get us anywhere we're going to have to solve problem number one which is the rocket fire in the bombing that's taking place now and could lead to war but as soon as the cease fire a cease fire is arranged there's going to have to be very concerted action to deal with the issues in jerusalem that started this present process of on the way to war in the 1st place sir this is such a difficult balancing act isn't it i mean you are you've lived in the region you know it and some might lay in terms of you know this violence is almost cyclical homes being destroyed people being killed heartbreak on on all sides really you know what is the way out right now in the immediate future just at to seize these hostilities in the next 48 hours possibly. you know there's a sense all the time that a status quo is sustainable of people get comfortable they go about their lives and

then you have these events that spiral out of control and the problem is that when the status quo is quiet there's no real incentive to do active diplomacy and then when the status quo breaks down you end up in crisis diplomacy ignoring the underlying issue the underlying issue here is that you still have an israeli palestinian conflict united states has tried hard for more than 30 years together with the international quartet the un the e.u. and russia we've not succeeded in breaking through to an outcome but that's still has to be the goal after all these other activities whether they're in jerusalem or gaza are diversions from the ultimate objective of reaching a solution to the israeli palestinian conflict and that requires hard to plough mysie all right former u.s. ambassador to israel daniel a cursor thank you so much sir for your time my pleasure funerals

have been held for the victims of tuesday's school shooting in the russian city of cazan russia has stringent gun control laws but many are now calling for even tighter restrictions according to the kremlin russian president vladimir putin has already ordered the national guard to draft stricter measures well meanwhile hundreds of mourners gathered at vigils and funerals to pay their final respects to these 7 students and 2 staff members who were killed shootings like the one from yesterday are rare morrill sprung up in several cities across the nation police have arrested the alleged attacker but have yet to release any information on a potential motive leaving residents of cazan distraught and confused. a carpet of flowers and emotions running high shock makes to with anger and sadness at the after the tragic shooting in cazan locals come to believe that the high school like any other has come to symbolize senseless violence and that

a former pupil carried out of the deadly rampage. my kids go to the school my niece is in the 9th grade the fire service rescued her with a ladder my son is in the 4th grade and thank god he only goes to school afternoon i'm shocked i have no tears left over. i'm grieving for all the children here i could cry my nephew goes to school he has been acquitted she did it i feel like they're all my children it's just so awful. really managed to protect the. school shootings are unusual in russia but the attacker smutty if it's still not clear people say he was polite and unassuming and to no one in russia would have expected a killing in the city just over 1000000 people live in cars on tourists come here

from all over russia and the city is known for being very beautiful and peaceful so the fact that something like this could happen has shocked everyone here. to have an armed police task force and to the siege exactly what happened inside of a school is under investigation the 19 year old attacker was able to get in with a weapon he obtained illegally he shot dead 7 children and 2 adults before surrendering to police 23 people are still in hospital. the fact that the shooter was able to carry out of the attack in broad daylight using a legal weapon has raised questions over russia's strict gun laws. cook with biscuits how can i send my kids back to school i'm really afraid. to stand speed with. how can we carry on if we're always afraid to let them go i definitely won't

let my child go back before the end of the school year and i'm already worried about next year that it will take a long time for cazan to get over the dreadful events for many in the city of this tragedy has changed their lives forever. yuri rachet are reporting from cars on russia i want to bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making headlines around the world right now republicans in the u.s. house of representatives have voted to remove fellow party member liz cheney from a top position the wyoming republican has been under increasing pressure for her repeated criticism of former president donald trump before the vote cheney was the 3rd highest ranking house republican. ugandan president yoweri museveni has been sworn in for his 6th term in office after winning a controversial election this january all during the inauguration ceremony police around at the home of opposition leader bobby wine who has called him

interview requests we show the images to the united nations official responsible for refugees 70 incidents shouldn't happen and it's important that the conditions of detention are. worked on collectively but at the same time the asylum service has been you know in the but if you look at the past 3 years the systemic change we were ready. to strengthen itself for the refugees there is little prospect of any immediate improvement in daily life this facility near to saloniki is supposedly an open camp a concrete war is being built around it to keep people in ironically construction is being fine. it's by the united nations migration agency. and moments ago we had the opportunity to speak to or just look at a co head of the un the migration agency the i.o.m. in greece and we asked them about campo residents claims that they feel like they
