rockets into israel and israeli forces have been responding with devastating air strikes on gaza now this escalating tension has also spilled over into street violence in several israeli cities home to both arabs and jews. and muslims in jerusalem come together to mark idol fit to the end of the holy month of ramadan is usually a time of joy. but here and in gaza the ongoing violence is overshadowing celebrations. and i distribute chocolate because i want to feel the joy because as you can see there is no atmosphere for ide at all it is all air strikes destruction and devastation may god help everyone. these are really strikes hit targets in gaza.

while hamas unleashes a stream of rockets towards israel. these are the most intense hostilities that the country has seen in 7 years it's also lead to interruption of street violence between jewish and arab residents of several israeli towns. this arab man was pulled from his car and beaten by a mob of right wing israeli nationalists it was the 1st act of nationalist violence to receive direct condemnation from the prime minister. 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 palestinians message to israel and the dri settlers it's clear. my 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 it is. the u.s. montagne 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 itself and if thousands of rockets fly your territory israel is preparing ground troops along the gaza border as as strikes targeting hamas militants continue 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.

that they are mainly strikes by the what they are looking up is that they want to degrade the military campaign that the ok i can pretty continue i'm very sorry. tanya kramer reporting there from echelon and you know what we're seeing happening to tanya there on the streets is really. you know it echoes what we have heard reported about clashes on the streets in the past hours in the past days that the conflict is now not just being fought in the air but also on the streets of israel as well tension very clearly running high there correspondent tonya kramer bringing us up to date with the very latest before being interrupted thank you tonya. some other developments in this conflict british airways has canceled its flights to and from tel aviv amid safety concerns there following many other international carriers who

are currently avoiding the region u.s. energy corporation chevron has shut down the tomorrow and natural gas platform off of the israeli coast as a precaution israel says that energy needs will continue to be met and opponents of israel israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu say that they are freezing talks on forming a coalition to unseat him after israel's inconclusive election. let's get a quick check of some other stories making headlines. there are warnings that over a 1000000 people in madagascar are are in urgent need of food assistance severe drought has brought the country to the brink of famine according to the world food programme the un body says that large numbers of children are especially at risk of starvation. western powers have accused china of massive crimes against the leader

a muslim minority during a u.n. sponsored virtual meeting britain's u.n. ambassador called the situation inching in john's province one of the worst human rights crises of our time the u.s. says that it will continue speaking up until china stops its quote crimes against humanity against humanity and that. all migrants in greece have told you that they fear police detention despite being legally registered in the country w. has obtained footage from inside the party mesti detention center which is closed to journalists he is funny the charge reports now on the accusations against the greek authorities. reza and his friends spend their days looking for somewhere to sleep in. is from afghanistan and it's registered in greece as an asylum seeker. join other about the believing they'll be after beepers 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 i'm going to be able to make it. social worker hope parker shows us this what's worse sign him 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 act so most people don't want to be seen by the police act so we need shut up from our jury yeah who also had documents he was speak to up on the street and spent months in a detention center i have. hunger striking because we didn't know 1st why are we here and for how long it's going to last one incident was especially traumatic marts they brought this group of police. and there's a reason everyone. was really like so many people. complain

or support arbitrary detentions in holding facilities or prisons and human rights violations the authorities tell a different story the government's push backs are nothing but turkish propaganda that so-called secret detention sites don't exist that we are on the way to our and our state which is a free removal detention center yet still inexhaustible to the public eye. surrounded by the right of even this 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 we obtained this exclusive footage from border monitoring violence network an independent watchdog which documents police brutality and the push backs the video was taken inside her nasty last year the

monitor 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 certainly. 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 system has changed ready. to strengthen itself for the refugees there is little prospect of any immediate improvement in daily life this facility near testimony is supposedly an open camp a concrete wall is being built around it to keep people in ironically construction is being commissioned by the united nations migration agency. and funny char is joining us now standing by in the field funny as we've heard greek authorities

others they have been accused of pushing back migrants in violation of international law what more can you tell us about that. exactly human rights organizations have expressed great concern and have said numerous times in the past that greece is involved in illegal pushbacks in fact only on wednesday europe's top human rights body called in the regal sorties to put an end to these illegal practices but greece is saying that this is actually fake news and turkish propaganda not ironically or not the europe's own agency owned border agency frontex is also facing these allegations of being involved in illegal pushbacks and by the way not only to push back on the aegean sea when migrants are coming from turkey over sea trying to rival in greece but also already on the in between the greek and to push border on greek soil so the various allegations accusations and as i say the reaction so far but the greek also reduced to

a rather blunt saying rejecting of these claims is unfunded now the problem that exists is that human rights organizations can create awareness but they can only make recommendations they cannot inform in force anything on greeks all this is what the european union comes into play they could actually start an infringement process in light of clear indication that human rights violations take place but that has not been the case there is no infringement process whatsoever so far even the european union against greece ok a very interesting funny tell us the greek authorities. what is the situation right now when it comes to the resources that they need to cope with the situation. i would say the question here is not resources the hundreds of millions of euros to tackle the migration challenge the question is how that money is spent if you look at the numbers hundreds of millions are spent on enforcing the external borders of

the european union but only a very small fraction of that is actually spent on improving the asylum system and when it comes to an asylum system you have to zoom into every and each european country almost especially when it comes to all 3 or hungary or greece that all have their own national politics aside in politics that's the problem and on the ground if you look at the situation of migrants particularly in greece there's no obligation to give them even a translator to make them understand what their eyes are because the greek asylum laws says that's no longer over the good story. is funny for char thank you. to the united states now which has made great strides in its campaign to vaccinate people against cove at 19 more than 35 percent of the population is now fully immunized but to really beat the pet demick it needs to reach herd immunity experts say that back goal could be out of reach in the u.s.

in part due to persistent vaccine hesitancy. carolina to travel to the southern state of mississippi currently in last place for vaccinations to find out more about what is stopping people from getting their shots. and here are some of the major developments in the penn demick the u.s. will start vaccinating children aged between $12.15 with the buy on tech pfizer vaccine today after the center for disease control found the job to be safe and effective in adolescence the u.s. state of ohio has announced a weekly lottery system to entice people to get kobe $1000.00 jobs and a weekly $1000000.00 cash prize and full university scholarships are up for grabs for anyone who gets the vaccine plus thailand reported its highest daily number of new coronavirus cases on thursday more than half of the nearly 5000 new cases were

found in 2 bangkok persons. there are over 30 vaccination sites in jackson mississippi a city of 160000 residents one of the locations is at the state university site empty chairs and a waiting staff to shape the scene they have 250 doses of the vaccine available today sometimes we have to waste and that's the shame because we know that there are many more people that need to be that the native people mississippi is last in the united states and cope with 1000 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 the to. everything kind of prayed about it and. i feel like this was the most responsible thing to do be safe with my family and

people around me and i were going on a lot of patients every day so. a tax on his 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 remained slow we'll find in those off the. a lot of conservative weiss. and then a lot of the minority young is not getting what you tried to just give them more and more education. even some health workers are hesitant like patrick who eventually was convinced would you like to look down the fire or to. move as a health worker she was offered the vaccine in january but didn't want to be the 1st in line. it was not that i was into you know backs of nature but my has a to it was because i want to see what are all those would be factors. with every

shot off the backs. the risk of the spread to returning dramatically decreases but this is still not enough the city 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 workers 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 forehead. today it's a church after 2 hours only 2 members of the community come in to get their shots. and i work. in as we may recall. where we come in the community in a big so i can come in and take my i think. this time there 100 vaccine doses available a much needed to all and wanted around the globe but demand here is quite low some

makes me a bit sad. sharman shell my yard can understand very well feeling the frenchman lost his sense of smell due to an accident 5 years ago it's the smell of his children he misses most but mayor does not want to give up his passion for cooking. a bit of color is good we eat with our eyes after all a bit like the great chefs of france are doing it but it is the nose with its millions of factory cells that defines the taste of this element after his accidental my i was angry because no one could help him even if an estimated 5 percent of the french population suffers from a distorted sense of smell but with time his anger gave way to an idea he founded a necessary action and developed off actually training incorporation we scientists

with concentrated sense rose lemon laughs. the sense of smell is a sense that is as important as other senses. many forget about it. most people only discover it once they've lost it or. since the beginning of the pandemic thousands of affected people all over europe have been using his sense of smell training techniques belgian answer feel our count is also exercising her nose her doctor has seen for herself their penny patients are recovering thanks to the training for example because the are factory cells damaged by the virus renew themselves and this gives me hope but my motivation very soon and so does my hope because sometimes i'm just scared i keep asking myself if it will ever come back. even if things are getting better only slowly unser feeler car is hoping these
