israelis run for cover this time israel's aerial missile defense system into septimus sile. but other rockets have cracked the so-called island and the reach of hamas seems to be extending further and further into israel this is a neighborhood just 10 kilometers east of tel aviv in heavily populated central israel. as a mass launches more rockets from gaza negotiators from egypt held talks with both sides to try and find a truce. gyptian qatari and international mediators are talking with the resistance hamas and the israeli occupation but every time they make an effort to create a situation which allows the impression to start a new israeli decision to destroy towers and kill children the elderly and women stifles these efforts. and in gaza as night falls

where you are residents of fleeing their homes as a new round of shelling hits the city. let's bring in our jerusalem correspondent here tanya kramer tanya dramatic developments there in the past 24 hours how are things looking there the sporting. well absolutely overnight there were massive strikes by the israeli f. host a naval and a tillery mainly in the northern part of gaza the army says that 160 planes were involved in those strikes and bombardments and they say the targets were mainly underground tunnels through the tunnel system that is used by hamas and islamic jihad inside gaza now this has of course caused immense devastation hardship for the residents in this area. which have reportedly not being warned of this

bombing contained according to the army again 55 rockets were fired from gaza into israel overnight there were no buckets overnight fired into central israel and also in a parallel development there were new violence when you try and and also riots and protests and confrontations between. right to his extremists and people from the arab israeli community in those mixed towns across israel that he's seen overnight. israel is making no secret of the fact that it is massing troops at the gaza border is a ground offensive imminent tanya. well we know that there are preparations and we understand from the army that plans of being drafted but at the moment we get a sense that the kind of pain is mainly focused on. the afros naval and attila

re from outside of there had been reports overnight based on a tweet that came out from the military spokespersons office that had granted some confusion but the military can fend dismounting down no ground troops in gaza at the moment. what about efforts to end this fighting tanya how much hope is there for diplomacy here. why on an international level diplomacy seems to move or appears to move this slow we understand that now a u.n. security council meeting has been scheduled for sunday but i think the focus as you also heard in the report is on reaching the efforts and in previous rounds of festivities are doing the war is egypt qatar and the united nations has played a role in meditating between the warring factions but we also have heard again from

the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu last night in the statement that the operation would take as long as necessary so at the moment we have no indication when those mediation meditation efforts will see any results tony thank you so much w's jerusalem correspondent tanya kramer well for more on the humanitarian situation in gaza let's bring in mathias he's gaza director of the u.n. relief and works agency responsible for the welfare of palestine refugees he joins us from gaza city thanks for being with us mr give us a sense of the humanitarian situation in gaza right now. good morning to you terry and thank you for giving me this is over john it's we'll talk about this situation is a mixture of things there is despair yesterday was the 1st day or it often ramadan and i think people are in despair that they cannot celebrate this religious

festivity that is so important there is people terrifying after 3 days and 3 nights of intense rockets from here but intense problem are getting into gaza people are terrified and that's one reason why they're on the move the heart rice there's a rising human cost among the people killed as you mentioned at the beginning there are 8 children that went to all right u.n. schools and then there is homelessness people are on the move that we have the reports i'm getting this morning is that there are 16 schools of all schools where people are seeking shelter in one school 2 is more than 2000 people so the despair and humanitarian needs are growing your agency ordered staff to stay home i understand from its from its clinics in order to keep them safe how are you assisting civilians in the situation. so we we are able to provide

primary health care through our country to health centers on the 1st day but then on the 2nd day my chief of health fantastic palestinian doctor there she was the one who called me early in the morning and said this is too hard as she put it this is too dangerous we have to today at least keep the house centers closed this is coming from a woman who is very proud to say in 2014 we didn't shop one day so it gives you a sense of the seriousness back to your question we've kept all sanitation services open yesterday because of the eat holiday everything was going to stop anyway today we've resume sanitation so cleaning in the aid camps and tomorrow we hope that the situation will precipitate primary house care the next big challenge is to support people in our schools who are seeking shelter so we will do what we can to provide support the most basic support to the internally displaced gaza is under bombardment it's in the middle of

a pandemic how are hospitals in gaza coping at this point. be i believe is my understanding i haven't been in the last 23 days of all the israelis and smiled the reports i'm getting is they're barely coping fortunately they're devastating 2nd wave of the covert and demi was starting to ease off so they were under pressure but it was starting to be manageable so far my understanding is they can cope with the casualty casualties and that of course if this continued if there were a ground offensive the hospitals would very very soon reach maximum capacity and that would be a serious humanitarian problem understand that water is a concern clean water sanitation facilities in gaza there's concern about the fuel supply electricity what do civilians in gaza need most at this point.

you know to be honest what they need most is for the fighting to stop of course but that's a given. is needed most is to make sure they have their basic food needs covered for the moment there seems to be enough food in the markets but of course if people flee their homes as they have started doing since yesterday and are in shelters or with relatives food needs will increase you mentioned water at the best of times there is not enough water save or to supply so water will very quickly become a huge issue and then let me say finally that beyond the basic needs food and non-food items there will be mental health needs and we we are in 14 years of located we've had the great marches of return we've had cold and now this mental health needs are increasing and we should not lose sight of that including if there are thousands of people in shelters there's bound to be gender based violence pressure on children so we must also from the beginning think about and address the

mental health or people and well being mr smolla thank you for taking time to talk with us today that was mathias gaza director of the un relief and works agency responsible for the welfare of palestine refugee. and here. within israel itself the conflict is fueling confrontations in some communities as mobs of arabs and jews confront each other on the streets simmering tensions in several mixed cities are boiling over into violence. somewhat less no prude will attack on the streets of. a group of far right israelis pull an arab man out of his car and beat him. mob attacks as well in the city of. surveillance footage shows palestinian youths attacking an orthodox jew. elsewhere clashes erupted between arabs and israeli police. the violence is fueling fears that israel could be headed for civil war. jews and arabs who live side by

side in israel's so-called mixed cities are deeply concerned off on the idea that it was never like this at this scale never that used very small grass small fires. we need to live here together coexistence we need to be partners to each other but . this arab owned ice cream store and bought yom was vandalized by a right wing jewish mob its owner says she was shocked by the violence. shot up most of my customers are arabs or jews we've been mixed together this whole time i never felt like there was something wrong they used to come up and try to talk to me in arabic that was normal i never felt anything wrong i don't want to have that enough and. many in these towns are just hoping the unrest will end soon.

they'll want israel terrorists to this realize that it is they are back. and it's just so. heartbreaking what happened and make that happen again but an end to this conflict on israel streets appears a long way off the prime minister has warned that the violence is likely to increase in the coming days. and tensions from the israeli palestinian conflict have spilled over to cities around the world including here in germany there have been renewed protests in several german cities against israel's military operation over $1500.00 people gathered in the northern city of braman alone and there's also been anti-semitic incidents of vandalism targeting jewish places of worship police arrested more than a dozen men suspected of damaging a cynical and ball and starting a fire at a jewish memorial site in. germany is jewish community is calling for more protection. in all the news protests against

racism and police violence have been held across brazil after 28 people were killed in a raid on a bale in rio de janeiro police say they were targeting a drug gang that was recruiting children rights groups accuse the police of extra judicial killings saying many of the dead were not under investigation. colombia's foreign minister claudia blum has resigned following international condemnation of a police clampdown on anti-government protesters at least 42 people have been killed in clashes between police and demonstrators the protests were triggered by a proposed tax reform but have since morphed into broader anti-government rallies. you're watching to double you know it's still to come how millions of oyster house destined for the waste bin are instead being put to good use and helping oyster farmer survive the pent up.

these messages connecting those who needed help with those who could provide help. she adds that the reason people started reaching out to them with due to the absence of support from government authorities who seem to have bungled their response to the corona virus outbreak. over the past few years social media has emerged as a powerful communication tool in a country with hundreds of millions of users but the 2nd we have brought forth its immense potential to provide urgent time sensitive assistance during moments of crisis and it's not just content creators let stepped in to assist the 2nd wave of covert has seen other public figures using social media platforms especially twitter to connect with and help those in need. she was the who heads the youth wing of the biggest opposition political party has gained recognition for his school with relief work in the country he says for him and his team of one india's

a gap in india's overburdened health care system dunning her from a media influence to a real life saver. and here's a look at some other developments in the coronavirus pandemic singapore has tightened social distancing restrictions after a surge in factions it's banned dining at restaurants and limited public gatherings to 2 people authorities in china have ordered mass testing in 2 cities in the central province on we are the detection of new local transmission's and for the 1st time since march germany has dipped below a key 7 day threshold of $100.00 cases per 100000 people restrictions can be relaxed if the incidence rate remains below the level. let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the u.s. centers for disease control is no longer recommending face masks for fully vaccinated people but the dea the c.d.c.

a 4th goal on the break with rounding the victory. well joining me now to talk about the german cup final is cress harrington from d.w. sports quest dortmund they were electric in that 1st half what was their secret in the opening round well their secret was asked to leave that's our slogan true love but all jokes aside their dynamic duo jade in-situ and alan holland are among the most talented footballers on the planet right now they're both you know in the uniform jaidyn said show especially has been electric he just scored a brace against army life 5 days ago continues that scoring streak in the final he actually scored 6 goals in the final day the germans. competition the most in the competition in holland was a question mark but you know just the physicality of finishing dorman displayed on the pitch was just too much for the bulls to handle alcohol even jaded sanjo and

not to mention marco rice marco has provided 2 assists i think dorman really had their eyes set on the silver where they had that in the champions league as well jim sensu and holland they both scored twice some both have been linked to transfers this season summer help orton is that dortmund keep them next season i think it's extremely important if they keep both on their roster budget in san siro and ellen holland but the reality is jade and sand show was linked to manchester united last summer but the price tag was way too high i don't mean have slashed the price he's pushed his representatives to make a move happen this summer the sand show holland a different story he's under contract a little bit longer i think next summer will be the earliest they see him leaving because right now the asking price is astronomical no one's going to pay well over 100000000 euros to get out of his contract so i think he secure but i think they'll be good they have such a stable of young talented stars on their roster i think that they'll be successful

as long as they keep up their consistency they've struggled with that but as of late they've been very consistent talk about life so you still no major trophy for them what they do wrong in this game well you know they have the ball a lot of bad passes you know they just look bad but one thing that i took notice of not was mine announce that he'll be joining byron munich this happened at the end of last month since then their form kind of sliding down this always happens the trend continues in the brain as they go a coach announces he'll join a new team the form kind of slacks down a bit they struggle to get to the final versus braving and then you know dortmund have a history a strong winning history against army life that rb lives like you and i was mine. unable to crack the dortmund code we just saw that play out last night in the german final i'm just thinking maybe byron munich fans might be hopefully they haven't lost any faith in you leonardo law because that will be his next big feat

but leipzig it been successful you can't discount what they've accomplished so far just still no trophies present here from v.w. sport thanks so much ok now when the pandemic hit last year restaurants across the world were closed their suppliers saw their stalks go to ruin this post a particular problem for oyster farmers in the u.s. if left too long as there's growth too large to sell to restaurants but some oysters farmers have found a novel way to survive. these and he says had been destined to london meant in a place like keypad with a glass of champagne but the musk the now being returned to the water that didn't date cancelled due to the pandemic. so in march of last year sales basically went to 0 and 90 percent of the oysters we saw going to restaurants and so once the restaurants closed the the our distributors just said we can't take any we have no place to send them. so the new hampshire based deferment decided to

take part in a conservation initiative the nature conservancy a u.s. conservation group is spending $2000000.00 u.s. dollars to buy $5000000.00 sepsis oysters restaurants don't want and it's relocating them to 20 reefs across the u.s. this one in maine belongs to another fama helped by the project. it really has been . kind of a lifesaver to be able to keep the revenue coming in. and to move it quite quickly. and i just think it's a great thing that they're doing. and it's great to be a part of it so for now he's just going to be on the show just yet. but as vaccinations keep being bowled out across the u.s. it won't be to know who the delicacy said back oh nice. just reminder the top story we're following for you today israel says it's massing troops on the border with
