israel. also coming up. from inside and slated refugee detention camp in greece we look at allegations of police abuse there. plus communities lagging behind in the race to vaccinate the u.s. population. and. and there are many more people that need to be that. back seen hesitancy in the united states means some shots are going on used our correspondent pines health what's behind people's fears and the hours are ticking down to the kickoff of one of software as big events. are set to fire in the.

martin good to have you with us the conflict between israelis and palestinians is intensifying the hamas militants have been launching hundreds of rockets into israel and israeli forces have been responding with devastating our strikes on gaza . this was the moment an israeli airstrike hit a residential building in the middle of gaza city on thursday morning the 6th ory block was destroyed more than 65 palestinians have been killed in gaza since monday including children in israel at least 7 have lost their lives. the escalating tensions are also spilling over into street violence in several states is really city's home to both arabs and jews. have with us. on this arab man was pulled from his car and beaten by right wing israeli nationalists. it's the 1st act of nationalist violence to receive direct

condemnation from the prime minister to pursue. nothing justifies the lynching of arabs by jews by the lynching of jews by arabs it's unacceptable we will not tolerate this this violence is not us. the conflict can be seen at across the sky line. hamas unleashed a stream of rockets fired towards israel in retaliation for the destruction of a building in gaza by israel. these are the most intense hostilities that the country has seen in 7 years. it is particularly bad in mixed a jewish arab town. with relevant lists rocket fire and dry it saying it was just the palestinians a message to israel and the jewish settlers is loud and clear but what drew getty images i address my words specifically to america and to israel enough is enough to

leave us. we will remain thorns in your eyes we will not leave our homeland we will not leave our country in rwanda for maureen. the u.s. maintained its support for israel in its call for peace on wednesday my expectation hope is that. this will be. closing down sooner than later. israel has a right to defend so if you have thousands of rockets flying in your territory. israelis defense was to target the hamas militants. they say many senior commanders have been killed. but the attacks have also claimed the lives of palestinian civilians. neither side

is showing any sign of backing down prompting the united nations to warn a full scale civil war. will speak to lynn hastings she's deputy special coordinator for the middle east peace process and united nations resident coordinator for the occupied palestinian territory she joins us from jerusalem thanks for being with us ms hastings 1st of all give us your assessment of the situation there right. thanks terry generally speaking i think most of the videos have spoken for that very question but the situation is very alarming and i use that word purposefully because it is something that the world needs to be paying attention to finally that the situation here is going in the wrong direction this latest escalation shows the depth of the problems between the palestinians and the israelis your office at the u.n. has warned that this conflict could turn into an all out war what would that look

like. well that's a good question. obviously the situation right now some could call it to be war what we are concerned about in addition to the situation in gaza is the spillover as your reporter has described into israel that we're seeing clashes all over israel and we are concerned about the regional impact as well. you what are you and your other colleagues at the u.n. doing to stop this fighting because many people do look to the u.n. to broker a peace. sure of course just 1st and foremost in terms of what the u.n. is doing we are of course continuing to provide humanitarian assistance on the ground. and while some people don't see this as connected to the political situation it is very much needed to ensure that people's needs are met in these

times so for example fuel is no longer going into gas which means hospitals water and sanitation plants and access to water itself will be severely limited when the fuel runs out on sunday so that's one thing that we're doing we're responding to try and save lives as this conflict goes on the 2nd thing of course is that the united nations has a mandate to try and broker peace the special coordinator himself has been working relentlessly with the various interlocutors here on the ground the parties others regionally and of course other member states of the security council and the court for the middle east peace process this may not sound like a lot to a lot of your viewers but this is what will bring the escalation down and we need to focus on these types of efforts the humanitarian assistance and working with all the parties involved to ensure that there's an escalation in place. your office at

the u.n. is responsible for coordinating what you continue to call the middle east peace process where does that process. currently it is not. proceeding which i think is very obvious by what your viewers have seen and what we're describing here with rocket rockets flying everywhere and that's again why we need this escalation to stop so we can get people back to the table we're briefing the security council member states who obviously have a lot of influence on where this is going so as it stands now that's what we're doing we're working with all those who can influence the situation and bring this violence to a stop. to the parties conflagration. well again obviously stop the fighting it's civilians who are suffering. as i said no

access to watch her sanitation electricity health care is already suffering because of the. pandemic so that's the 1st thing there obviously needs to be a deescalation the 2nd thing is we need humanitarian access into and out of gaza that our staff needs to be able to get in that and we need to be able to bring goods in. and of course stop that unilateral actions that are taking place many of those have already been described by a number of the member states before the security council and in other media. briefings those include things like evictions in east jerusalem increasing settlement expansion and such their violence demolitions of palestinian property in both east jerusalem and in the west bank and the inability of palestinians to be able to build on their own land in east jerusalem and in parts of the west bank as well those actions do not serve

a peace process at all and they need to stop as do of course rockets from gaza and other violence throughout the palestinian territory and now as i said before we're seeing in israel ok but hastings thank you very much for your time today was lynn hastings deputy special coordinator for the middle east peace process at the u.s. . thank you to. catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today thousands of colombians have demonstrated in the capital bogota for the 15th consecutive day of unrest protests were sparked by anger over tax reforms but quickly spread to fury over police brutality the country's human rights and bugs man says at least $42.00 people have died and more than $160.00 have gone missing since the protests began. republicans in the u.s. house of representatives have better to remove fellow party member liz cheney from a top position the wyoming republican has been under pressure for her repeated

criticism of former president donald trump before the vote cheney was the 3rd highest ranking house republican. western powers accuse china mass of crimes against the we are muslim minority during a u.n. sponsored virtual meeting britain's u.n. ambassador called the situation. one of the worst human rights crises of our times u.s. says it will continue speaking up until china stops its quote crimes against humanity . like roots in greece have told e.w. they fear police detention despite being legally registered in the country w. has obtained footage from inside the power in this detention center which is close to journalists w.'s funny reports on the accusations against greek authorities. reza and his friends spend their days looking for somewhere to sleep in to saloniki he's from afghanistan and he's registered in greece as an asylum seeker join other

about the believe in the we have to be person we have to hide when the police catch us they beat us and forces out then we have nowhere to go we have to live on the street you know we're going to give a little going to be able to make it all of. the social worker who barker shows us the plots were asylum seekers can find shelter in testimony the city used to be safe for refugees but more and more are hiding from the authorities if the police pick them up they're looking at either likely detention or a violent perspex so most people don't want to be seen by the police after we meet shut up from a jury are also had documents he was speak to up on the street and spent months in any tension centers i haven't. thought hunger striking. we didn't know 1st why are we here and for how long going to last one incident was especially traumatic might they have brought this group of police.

everyone. else really but like so many people. complain or support arbitrary detentions in holding facilities so prisons and human rights violations the authorities tell a different story the governments that push back are nothing but charge propaganda that so-called secret detention sites don't exist that we are on the way to her and our state which is a free removal tensions and yet still inexhaustible to the public eye. surrounded by the right of even the official detention center it's hard to find. an aerial view shows a facility that can hold up to 500 detainees surrounded by barbed wire fencing inside there reports of police violence real pain this exclusive footage from

border monitoring violence network an independent watchdog which documents police brutality and in the push backs the video was taken inside her nasty last year the monitors say violence is systematic the greek government has not responded to our 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 the concrete war is being built around it to keep people

in ironically construction is being fined. but the united nations migration agency . who filed that report joins us now from the greek authorities have and others have been accused of pushing back migrants in violation of international law you mentioned that in your report what more can you tell us about the fact that council of europe. the council of europe's human rights commission of it talking here about the top body of youth in europe the top human rights body that has urged in a letter of greece to put an end to these illegal taxis of putting off pushing migrants back because it could be speaking about migrants coming from turkey trying to get to greece but they never arrive to claim the asylum status to claim asylum in greece because they've been pushed back on the no several human rights organizations have pointed this out they have mounting evidence about illegal

pushbacks but here comes a problem here comes the dilemma human rights organizations can only make recommendations to greece greece is a sovereign country they have to make these investigations within their country but of course greece is paul 2 of the european union so this is where the european union comes into play they could start an infringement process they could basically as they have indication and as if they have evidence from the human rights organizations stop infringement process and make sure that greece is abiding by international law but these processes have not been started by the european union it should probably also be mentioned that the european union's own external border service frontex stands accused of pushing back refugees as well but greece is on the front line of this crisis do greek authorities have the resources they need to cope with this situation of so many migrants and refugees coming to their shores.

well greek resources also european union resources i mean hundreds of millions of yours are spent on safeguarding the external borders of the european union what only a fraction of that is actually spent on improving the asylum system improving the fact that these migrants who are arriving from turkey or through turkey to agrees that their cases are heard that there's a fair process and not just a quick process but of course also there's a problem of political will not only on the greek level but on the common european level there is no such a thing still since 2015 that we can call a functioning collective asylum system in fact if you look at the recent example just over the weekend more than 2000 migrants have arrived in up to the only taddeo island italy asking for help asking for solidarity from other european countries to relocate these migrants to disprove this tribute to him among other european

countries but nobody wants to take them in here in australia the clear message is for example that the solution should be in africa but not to tackle it in the european union so you have different versions of politics be the also the hungry i'm version the polish version but there's no common collective version to tackle this problem the migration problem funny good to see you that was funny charles there our correspondent joining us from rather rainy vienna. now the united states which has made great strides in its campaign to vaccinate people against 19 more than 35 percent of the population is now fully immunized but to really beat the pandemic the u.s. needs to reach herd immunity and experts say that goal could be out of reach in part due to persistent back seen hesitancy carlina chinoy traveled to the southern state of mississippi currently in last place for vaccinations to find out more

about what's stopping people from getting their shots but. there are over 30 vaccination sites in jackson mississippi a city of 160000 residents one of the locations is at the state university say empty chairs and a waiting staff say to see they have 250 dozes off the vaccine available today sometimes we have to waste and there's the shame because we know that there are many more people that need to be that. the mississippi is last in the united states and cope with 19 vaccinations only 26 percent of the state's population is fully vaccinated some have changed their mind but vaccine hesitancy still poses a major problem i was very is that to put. everything kind of prayed about it in and. i feel like this was the most responsible thing to do we say for my

family and people around me and i were going on a lot of patients every day so. at jackson hence health center dr chapman and her team offer daily vaccines for free with no apartment required but also at this site the traffic of patients remain slow we find in the. a lot of conservative weiss. and then a lot of that minority young is not a good thing and we try to just give them what education. even some health workers are hesitant like barbara patrick who eventually was convinced would you like to look down the fire or to. move forward as a health worker she was offered the vaccine in january that didn't want to be the 1st in a live fire one day and. it was not there are those into you know backs of nature but now has a to was because i want to see what the at home all those would be factors. with

every shot of the vaccine the risk of the spread returning dramatically decreases but this is still not enough the city ringback of jackson has decided that if people don't attend the vaccination centers they are going to bring the vaccines into their communities. in a mobile clinic packed with vaccines and supplies the health worker strike 4 to 5 times a week to the suburbs the goal is to make it as convenient as possible for people to get their vaccine or having one. today it's a church after 2 hours only 2 members of the community come in to get their shots. i work at night and as we may recall. when we come in a community in a day joe i can come in and take my i think. this time there 100 vaccine doses available a much needed 2 will and wanted around the globe but demand here is quite low some

are still hasn't there are some who are barriers like transportation we don't require a performance so it makes it more coming. to test it and see it's not only about come fenians maybe they're trying to you as people of color to get the bags and to really do some research. that's one of the things even our 1st. facts and statistics convinced her that this is the only way to return. to normal also in their church. so we have a few other developments in the pandemic staying with us to begin with the united states will start vaccinating children between ages between $12.15 with the biotech pizer vaccine today after the centers for disease control found the jap to be safe and effective in adolescence the u.s. state of ohio has announced a weekly lottery system to entice people to get covered $9000.00 jobs
