no diplomatic breakthrough and no letup in israeli palestinian violence palestinian rescuers pick through the rubble searching for survivors after another night of strikes one of the targets the home of the top hamas leader in gaza also coming out . in the. book themselves another season in germany.

a warm welcome to our viewers around the world i'm michael oku the international community is calling for an end to the latest conflict between israel and hamas militants the united nations security council is due to discuss the violence in the coming hours u.n. secretary general antonio says he was dismayed by civilian casualties in gaza meanwhile there's been yet more bloodshed in the conflict which is now in its 7th day. calling out for survivors rescuers pull the injured from the rubble and retrieve the bodies of those who didn't survive. several apartment blocks were bombed in the early hours of sunday. fish human cost is still being counted. the number of people under the rubble is still unknown. and as we've heard from the

families and the neighbors it's a large number and we're still working here up. israel says it's over not strikes were targeting a senior hamas political leader and taking up tunnels and rocket launch sites the response from hamas came quickly israel says about half of the militants rockets have fallen short or been intercepted by the aerial defense system. but others have hit their targets residential areas such as here in tel aviv one man died when a hamas rocket struck his house others narrowly escaped death. 2 more meters and it would have been my house. coming out. israel's destruction of this gaza building hosting several media outlets has raised international concern israel says it was also used by

a hamas intelligence operation associated press has demanded evidence and says the world will now know less about what is happening in gaza. on saturday she were held for 10 family members killed in an earlier israeli airstrike only a baby survived desperate diplomatic efforts are underway to broker a cease fire and avoid more such tragedies. i'm joined now from tel aviv by paul hirsh on a spokes person for the israeli foreign ministry i really appreciate your joining us a d.j. sure and i want to start by asking why the israeli military is bombing the offices of foreign press organizations in gaza. well thank you for inviting me it's nice to be with you we are not bombing the offices of chris sorrell 'd to syria or any other media what we're doing is bombing military tall gets in. particular case

you're talking about its business building up they get called in which howells. offices for military intelligence it has come us off this is the research and development for military equipment development and installed on the building you know on the building. of the tree. saying it will also separate to become us and didn't is that. they said they were off. they were in. and this is precisely the problem with the behavior of us he said they all did look at the clothing being themselves 'd in civilian populations civilian institutions in mosques and hospitals. and in this particular case in a building which also housed june of this he taught the goal is

the road military infrastructure of. their organization while minimizing as far as possible civilian costs i think that the point that you didn't mention we. which really needs to be emphasized is that. minority civilian casualties in talking about and the reason for that is because we. are now with. in order to make sure that this no civilians would be in that particular attack. if i can just follow up we certainly appreciate the word we're hearing from you but as you well know the israeli military has so far provided no evidence of hamas' activity in the building associated press says it was in that building for 15 years and had no indication a mosque was operating there they also say they actively check because they would never knowingly put their journalists at risk and they're calling on your

government to provide evidence for the justification for attacking the building will you provide that evidence rather then providing the sound bites we hear from you which we do appreciate. i think you can imagine that might be a lot easier if i could provide evidence to you right now. during this this broad cost and i really wish i could do that the truth of the matter is that we are in the midst of a pain and i think you can understand that there's a. lot of intelligence which is not something that we can at this point. the soonest possible and as much as possible that we will i think that there are 2 things that should be also that could be done at the moment in the one off your intelligence services what they think of the credibility of our intelligence services and i think that you will get

a consistent message from almost any intelligence. they will tell you that leaks. pretty good. i'm just interrupt you we just have a limited time there's so many questions i want to get from you the a.p. statement on the attack on the building also says and i quote here the world will know less about what is happening in gaza because of what happened there was that the real purpose of the air strike to prevent international reporting to intimidate before and certainly something as a. journalist like circles. you know. what. israel is a country which is free and facilitates free grace. here . so we meet. very. well but we're talking about military.

forces and. so let me just say what the u.s. the u.s. president joe biden has spoken to your prime minister benjamin netanyahu by phone in express his strong support for israel strikes in gaza as a response to hamas missile missile attacks but he also raised concerns about the protection of journalists and perhaps more importantly civilian casualties and israeli airstrike yesterday killed 8 young children from 2 families the latest strikes in gaza city have reportedly killed at least 23 people do you know how many of those were hamas fighters and how many were regular everyday civilians. you know this. conversation and i'll tell you this to me. being killed on both sides of this conflict and

single civilian. we're in a situation we. doing what if we can and we're doing a lot to minimize and to avoid civilian casualties. is doing the opposite they've sent 2800 missiles into israel that's 2800 war crimes direct deliberately it's been told that's locates it from civilian locations such as the building which houses the. media offices ok so it's not an easy situation and i will say this to you and that is that history shows us and the numbers and have asked for a point in this direction as well that the same wall of civilian casualties. in relation to those so-called but since. it's been said is the lowest since all the count is in the modern military history now that's still too much and we would

still try and use it even further. so what i can and i mean what i mean again i have to interrupt walter and i feel so badly doing it. but the united nations security council will meet later today to discuss this latest conflict between israel and hamas well is really except any decision the council makes to try and stop this fighting. i think that what we will probably. call on the security council and the international community to join us come us i think you would agree with me any sort from country. whose capital is attacked on the national holiday celebrating the existence of that capital. cannot sit back and see it in such a situation i think we're at the point we all sort of in the process of ensuring that when the senior leadership will come last if and when they move from hiding

underground they will understand that this is been a mistake terrible mistake that they made that they shouldn't make a game i do. finally i would like to just to complete the point from from the previous question all of the 2800 rockets. into israel $430.00 or them have landed 14 short landing inside the court system we know of at least 20 civilian casualties civilian deaths amongst the palestinians killed by hamas rockets i'm not saying that is the total number we know that's not going to be the total number i'm not saying it's the new casualties since that have been caused by hamas rocket but we do know of at least 20 civilian casualties in the gaza strip as a result of that 160 usually high number by the way which would indicate the

issues with their rockets no no gender so far has been no use or their career has been again on both sides there's no question about that but i do want to ask you this other question i mean there are critical voices in israel suggesting that this crisis has come at a very opportune moment for your embattled prime minister benjamin netanyahu distracting israelis from corruption allegations against him and his failure to form a government has netanyahu done enough to prevent tension from rising to the point where we are now which is open conflict in the streets in towers of gaza and in your own country. you know we're all aware of the conspiracy theories that are thrown around and everybody knows what's going on in the internal issues in israel i don't want to get into internal israeli politics. the facts of the matter is that we were celebrating the reunification of jerusalem in jerusalem when some us opened fire on them. and then continued to open fire on almost everywhere in

israel people understand exactly what happened people understand the high. the point that we're in a conflict that we don't want to be in we don't want to be in. so i don't want to speak to the internal politics but i think that if you go and you speak to the the opposition politicians and you will find that they are standing for the government and the military i think we'll have to leave it there so many more questions for you sir in this ongoing situation but we do appreciate your making time for us as the israeli foreign ministry spokesman paul herschel. thank you. and turning now to to some other stories making headlines around the world actually we're going to go to sports now. faced bremen in the bonus league with both teams barely above the drop zone out spur ago came away from the encounter victorious

the state of alaska as the country stands. to split its removal case in. the final preparations for a vaccine flight near the arctic circle in alaska kimberley and on house with her 50 shots of the modernity vaccine she hopes they'll help bring an end to the pun demick which has had rural alaska hard one person gets a hair that's. you know that's 5 percent of the population almost so that one household pretty much can cause for the whole village to shut down that means nobody hauling water nobody hauling fuel nobody you know you're not leaving your house to go get stuff that you need ok thanks don't drive 20 minutes would be despite its remoteness the state of alaska has rolled out the corona virus vaccines faster than any other state in the u.s. today the team of health care professionals will be visiting several indigenous

villages in the arctic wilderness. the village of vienna tie has no mobile phone coverage no supermarket and no permanent doctor. landing on a gravel runway convert with snow all goods have to be flown into vienna time today's air freight is the covert 19 vaccine the village of around 200 inhabitants is only 2 cars one of them is the ambulance. snow mobiles of the most important means of transport here a quick ride takes the team to the local health center. inside around 20 villagers are waiting for their shot. like most of the villagers lawrence roberts belongs to the gwich'in tribe for many years he's relied on his strong constitution but in time of the pandemic he wants

to play it safe. from wherever they go the way you would have to get sick or you know if it would prevent hospitalization this could. take off to the next village it may be one of the world's remotest places but when it comes to the vaccine program alaska is leading the way. community on a shitty town on the southern edge of the truth is what if you are the poorest neighborhoods. people here lack like true city and other basic amenities and the government looks on without taking action. regional authorities and the process of demolishing these houses in. social work a canal he menaces eyewitness to this transition right in front of us is where they

will build a regional park. demolition the government's attempt to stop the illegal settlements here but relocation is slow going the trucks can be seen coming and going to the ring sent. the minister and his team off and come to visit they bring families basic supplies and middlemen between the authorities and those who want to leave this place. i think living conditions here i knew main children can't be expected to live like this that's why i think it's important that we all help that way these families can exist in normal housing conditions until they are relocated back. to the fire you have pointed it at least as par as food hygiene and electricity is concerned here in. north of 50. the power has been out since october but cannabis plantations further up in area 6 encreasing need training to power supply families here were once able to get electricity from their own lines across the oh fernandez has been living here for 30 years it's never been easy but now life for

her and her children has become impossible it's sad my children grow up here but i want them to have a good life i want them to have running water and electricity for t.v. set. we put the buckets here then warm the water in them and then we pour it in the bathtub so we can wash ourselves these families suffer most year in the cold months as t w reported this winter feeling forgotten by politicians they found other solutions . is a bit relieved now that she has solar panels and electricity. on installed the panels his charity organization wants to help 70 other families to get started with solar power the most in all this is a community where people live illegally and that's why government authorities calmed intervene like they usually belittlement of put up with this would be asking them to do something highly unusual and at the moment we don't have any politicians

who do unusual thing us because you need courage for that and you have to be willing to take a risk for. the regional government has taken a clear line the more electricity used his them the more that marianna plantations will take they take advantage of these people's poverty. but local police only have limited power as i used to says the central government has to do something but they won't. the minister doesn't understand why not. while insists in the air here it's a ghetto a ghetto for the poor and that generates crime a lot of people using drugs and selling them that's not good it needs to stop. there's a place with many faces this is just one of them. you know oppression supermarket customers can pay by simply looking into

a camera. but some activists are sounding the alarm about potential data protection abuses. cash cards and cell phones os so yes the day to day is the blink of a camera lens is all it takes and under the tap a spate face i did acknowledge it is now operating in the around 50 of the x. 5 retail group's moscow supermarkets just look at him and as. we want to make it convenient for customers they save time and don't need to get out their phone a wallet just press a button the system reach their face and they can go home quickly or sister my. cellphone or facial recognition payment is only available to customers who have accounts with a major russian bank and for that to they have to provide to the bank with their biometric data once studied by credit card institute shows 70 percent of russians

would be willing to use of the technology once because of heard about it. never heard of it before and if you would you do it why not maybe this fucking fat sisters in the so now they're going to recognize our faces to grangeville have to get used to that. to get a facial recognition technology is all. a part of everyday life from moscow costs more than 170000 cameras registered and regulated to public life half of them without a face while it's a blessing for police officers it's a curse for data protection advocates. privacy activist. campaigns against as it must use of facial recognition and is critical of russian laws she says as they are too vague and to don't protect personal data well enough but paul has even sued in moscow city government without success much of. our

biometric data is part of our private lives which no one is allowed to enter with their dirty shoes once it's deposited you can never get rid of this data your voice your gate in your face that's data that accompanies us throughout our lives. that became apparent to during recent opposition protests hundreds involved in her eyes to demonstrations over the last few months have been subsequently investigated and punished by police in moscow. but a doctor protection arguments haven't convinced software developers as they're currently under lies in customer reactions to the technology the goal is to later install facial recognition cameras in more than 6000 self-service terminals across russia.

the 77 percent in young people in uganda are driving a debate in kampala on political apathy among you got as you say the young cast rising up against injustice i talked with musician turned up position leader bobby white and meet young farmers and that's what they're taking a stand against king's. one of these land grabs. 77 percent of. an operation under general anesthesia something goes wrong the patient wakes up feels everything can't tell the doctor the total. more times in the brain during these he is still poorly understood. we receive latest research on the mystery of i'm a sleazy. on d w. these places you know are smashing the records. sticking to

a church it's the treasure for modern globe trotters to discover some record breaking stuff. also in book form. welcome to a brand new edition august 77 percent the show for africa's you with host liz show . this week's edition is all about youth engagement in politics society or in music so here's what we've prepared for you on this week's show. we'll hear about political tensions and as what teenie one of the world's last remaining absolute monarchy. in our street debate edith to money discusses will be young uganda and the challenges they face in politics. and the

bin laden is known as the cradle of buddha we'll find out what it will mean for young people. first reported takes us to southern africa to s. what teenie the country formerly known as swaziland it is ruled by king mswati the 3rd. but right now of the you with have started questioning the absolute monarchy and the massive power that the king has in the low felt region of. it to fight over sugar cane is brewing after toiling it for 20 years local farmers were promised ownership of this land but they are likely to lose it to king mswati the 3rd and his family in defiance of the royal opposition politician to milan he and his supporters staged a march sparking clashes with police their frustration with them on a key reflects a growing attitude among the country's youth.

and. it's either torture. and even some of our. young people like similar me are angry that the king apparently doesn't care about the law and why should he the constitution puts him above it since 1906 king swati has ruled it's watching an absolute monarchy. but the king likes to portray a different image of himself and his country this latest tourism advert features picturesque landscapes and the benevolent waving to his happy subjects. acting prime minister who was not elected by the people but chosen by the king he maintains that the system allows its citizens to speak their minds freely through

the system doesn't. stop. if you look at the constitution. and the people who have their own organizations in this country and those files on no. i never heard of on paper this is correct but the reality tells a different story veteran politician planted on a show where he spent 8 months in prison and is currently alpha male. he is due to face the high court on charges of treason off the publicly condemning the royal family for corruption and misconduct he says those who call it a swat team and democracy are mistaken news for. the news they say is their need to have a sing enabled. just recently to. a friend in think ok since

the police detained people before people would assemble today piers for you and yet we continue to call ourselves a democratic can't know we can't we cannot we cannot remain that there must be change in this. song isn't a load in the sentiment while at least 60 percent of swazis live below the poverty line king mswati splashes out on rolls royces and b.m.w.'s among the student wing of the national liberal tory congress emotions fly high when talking politics and current challenges facing the country. who voted for that constitution and say that the king should be above the new we have. employed by d. . to do to do to do them in to stop you find old people like 55 year for for india

is they are working but these young politicians don't want to do away with them on a key entirely the king remains an important cultural figure what they really want is for the king to add here to the laws like everyone else and put real power in the hands of the people that's the main reason. those protests were demonstration throughout the country in 2 places. to remind people that this this country was stolen from us that. these farmers may have to wait a long time before they receive the land that was promised to them but progress is slowly being made. it's not just what teenie where the political situation has been tense in the last few months and where a rule i am has been in power for decades. uganda does not have a king but a president who's been in office for 35 years now says the elections earlier this

year demonstrators have taken to the streets and questioned long term presidential it was 7 years reelection in it came and he was in the capital kampala to discuss why young ugandans are reluctant to get involved in politics. the 77 percent is back in kampala and this time we're here to find out why it is that young people seem very not interested when it comes to politics what he's that's how it appears in the foreground and we're trying to find out why is it their choice or is it a choice that was made for them based on the system well to begin this conversation i'm going to start with mr gill but illegal hughes is from generation 7 as you can see and he's actually rallying young people to support him 7 for me to rally young people to support prison receive and it's because of their ideology that he has this because of experience ok so that's your argument i'm just going to turn around

on this side because i'm sure that people who do not agree with you maybe you want to jump in the money in a mission field and no one blocks very many young people i can tell you a moment i shouldn't platform we had so many young candidates and most of them could not afford that nomination fees that i don't look so many young people out then you can give us an idea of how much it costs in a story and media and for it to contest as an m.p. a huge financial restriction when it comes to young people participating most as let's come to you because i know that you had a point earlier i think but young people are actually participating in politics we now have to discuss the quality of participation for example. in the nov 18th and 19th demonstration it was young people who were on the street spending the tires yeah so i think that young people are actually participating but it is not meaningful participation much wonder you have something. say to me i want to cross over to the point of brutality why would anyone show up to participate in

a process where people are being shot by being kidnapped being drawn face i can use that word if i weren't being held incommunicado why would anyone who is saying go to put spit in such a space let in fact let's ask the people who did it why would anyone sane put themselves in such a scenario. you know sometimes the young people who are we keep surprising because of someone speaks about violence see taking drones and all that i think all here people participated in politics and i don't know if in a dentist face to be kidnapped i don't know because these opposition people we are what you could not but you're here but hold on just for just for clarification are we suggesting that only people who participate in the opposition of the ones who are terrorized we think that it's happening all around us think that that's not happening that's what they're trying to paint trying to paint maybe i know you said that you had experienced something of that nature can you share with us before the wrist i was devised by my chairperson of the one that i should go to come back home

tonight because they're looking for me so i told them but why on which account i told me because i was putting on marriage barrier that people power very they came and told me i have to answer a police and i of course i went with them and when i went with them they didn't take me to police they took me to someone's home literally and they were asking me so many questions and they're asking me to withdraw from the race all right gilbert you're disagreeing with this i can hear your head shaking from the back what are you disagreeing with i'm disagreeing with the issue of brutality the ara's but how can you tell me is it that's her that i experience it's unfortunate that she went through that but i want to make this known to each and everyone who ever is aristide you know a that a criminal or you're a suspect i think it's unfair for you to say that maria's experience doesn't count because she's told us that just by. wearing a red berry she was hunted for does this not duction it is artist people are

arrested we saw them on camera us robot in policeman we saw them on camera saluting people including the members of parliament not you predicted you want police to just look at it like that ok all right just have a cause that you're the one who is shouting falls through what are you what are you saying is false in uganda as a state if you go for campaigns you can be aristide you can be heat you can be a gust so the issues now not about money i had limited but also these points where they saved many people that had money lost these people what hated and if it were possible even the president his office would be shut down as by now but why is the president still there because of what i can't describe to myself because i may live here right now and i'm taken through the drone you understand and what i want to bring to the table on to the world is that you're going to we just do this do it up politics and these are mafia politics that we're having if you people through the

prison so i think constitutes on the country into power that's what i think all right mr causa here has made some very serious declarations and you've said that it's not about money it's just about being hated that's why people are not voted in and one that he was raising his hand to try and get my attention did you want to add to that point said to brutality we have just seen policemen group but in general this settlement policemen it was on the committee so i think that one alone makes the young people to feel who come to be interested into running for for political offices there let's one last one was about the kidnap which my brother was saying you to divide it is this it is that you know all of a set up without feeling good citizen so my thinking is that we needed to come out and you call them without those acts because those acts are the acts that actually compel young people form. but just getting active in the politics all right thank

you very much for your thoughts because he has mentioned you but specifically let me allow him to respond i think what is important for us as citizens of this country as young people is to engage ourselves in economically something that is going to generate money because you're not going to tell an easy everybody would have a job killer but government has a wheel i have to tell you these fantastic and finally i'm going to end with you moses i hope you have a killer point of course i do recall solution is very important in nation building actually it's the 1st step in nation building and we can do it we can yeah i can get solved economy kelly financially the sky's the limit for young people our time is now thank you i really like that point and so that actually brings us to the conclusion of this debate i have to say what passionate debate the ugandans did not disappoint and you did not disappoint for showing up thank you for watching. we asked the ugandan government to comment on the issues brought up in the debate

jacob a ruler who was the chairperson of the national youth council got back to us saying and i quote my view is that the participation of young people should be guided by the intentions of long term good governance and formation of synergies that are generational in our pursuit of political influence and the space nevertheless it became clear in our debate that people in uganda are afraid of getting into politics because they may be harassed by authorities well opposition leader will be why knows all about that he ran against with 70 in this year's election and faced all kinds of issues but intimidation has not stopped but the wind from speaking out in fact giving a voice to the voiceless is what he has been doing even back in the days when he was just a musician and not yet politician now he's using both his platforms as an artist

and a politician to get his message across let's listen in to his current selves. we . detected from. here far. back then. well the man you just heard bobby wian is joining me live from uganda where we wind welcome to the 77 percent. thank you for having in the seventy's and seemed to be here and we're happy to have you so the last few weeks must have been very intense for you what has happened since the election results were announced maybe the question should have been how is it been for you the people who. have been helping has been such a challenge since the election which turned out to be the most frightening tillage

. and there have been great but i think you should be. hungry. young people young men and women supporting the people who are mostly in the imagination that the movement and by people i mean i've been abducted by the government many have been modified. others have been. you know voted with me the feeling that in rape and others. i see many that tell others about has been castrated saida been have i will promise also say that the mode of operation the mo the resistance to get a look at them that i've turned up to be more resistant and more assertive in my name for bad right in my name for their election victory but most important it might mean for freedom what you're telling us is really horrific what is happening

to the people of uganda and you say that you will keep pressing on and keep resisting now let's take a look at the whole of africa we reached out to our people on facebook and asked them what the political situation is like in their country so let me just take a look at one comment here that we have from frank eelam he is from ghana and frank says it is time to let our politicians know that we gave them the power to serve the nation and not food our money and live posh lives while voters are drinking dirty water and schooling under trees and then he says they use of africa. i have to wake up now you're also a relatively young politician what do you say about some fortunate that in many parts of africa in particular in uganda being in a position of. power or position of government government has been reduced to steps on the ground i mean enrichment which must stop and which will stop and that will

only stop when the young people to africa. and uganda in fact if you actually rise up to do and. they are right not only by me but practice well you say that the young people of africa have to rise up but do you have any tips on how they can really get involved in politics because we heard in the debate that many say that they are fraid of actually being harassed it is to. this harassment when the young people of africa rise up and demand for what's right for libya and demand for accountability it is dangerous but it's still been most dangerous to people saying it's not dangerous to beside. the young people of africa you have down and if they rise up and down no doubt sit down so that way there's only one option for the people of the young people of up to rise up to the
