and that's. why from berlin israel's prime minister says the conflict with the palestinians continues at full force in gaza the desperate search for survivors goes on after another night of airstrikes benjamin netanyahu tells israelis the campaign against hamas militias militants will take time to search for a diplomatic solution being stepped up also coming up india struggles to deal with huge numbers of 1000 dead villagers find hundreds of bodies washed up along the banks of the river ganges and no to the tokyo olympics nearly 2 thirds of

japanese say their summer games should be cancelled. or state of emergency already in force. welcome to the program benjamin netanyahu has told the israeli people that the military campaign against palestinian militants in gaza is continuing at full force and will take time to complete these really prime minister was speaking as international diplomatic efforts toward a cease fire in a 7 day conflict gather pace the u.n. security council is currently meeting on the violence with the secretary general and tony and others calling for an immediate stop to the violence here's some of what the netanyahu had to say. but we will. when we talk about international

pressure there are always pressures but overall we're getting very strong backing 1st of all from the united states i would like to thank again our friend president joe biden but also many other countries that have taken unprecedented steps like hoisting israeli flags on their government houses we very much appreciate this and there's reason for support because after such criminal attacks on jerusalem on israeli cities in an attempt to kill innocent israelis we have international backing. meanwhile medical sources in gaza say israeli airstrikes on the territory have killed dozens more people a mosque militants have been firing hundreds more rockets into israel. can you hear. our lives that are just now. calling out for survivors rescuers pull the injured from the rubble and retrieve the bodies of those who didn't survive.

several guards apartment blocks were bombed in the early hours of sunday. the human cost is still being counted. the number of people under the rubble is still unknown as we've heard from the families of the neighbors it's a large number and we're still working here. 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 of. 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 funerals 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 not for more we have cramer in jerusalem and in washington bureau chief in this poll is standing by tanya 1st to you we've had reports of more attacks by both israel and hamas in the

last few hours what more can you tell us. well absolutely as we speak we still have incoming alerts for incoming rocket attacks and usually arrive on the throne in the area around the gaza strip but also and i ask it on an earlier in the late afternoon there was a heavy rocket barrage also targeting mainly cities and the south like k'naan and start at the same time also asked strikes continue in gaza and you understand what the scene and the report that did rescue efforts to retrieve people injured people what you can bodies from the rubble from distress attentional a building that was hit in the morning are still ongoing it is rather difficult because as strikes are also continuing so we are hearing from gaza also that the hospital situation is becoming difficult egypt has also now reopened its

order it was apparently close to that eat. to let out some of the injured and people who need to travel so the barrage continues enos in washington the u.n. security council has been meeting virtually on the conflict is international pressure building for a peaceful resolution. well those meetings on the israeli palestinian issue michael always have all very often i shall say have ended in conclusively and served mainly as a platform for supporters of both sides really to to add their grievances and that's exactly what we are seeing today and as an earlier years united nations members really share the view that israel's actions are illegal and that it is it's use of deadly force is kind of disproportionately harsh so yes there is building up some pressure on israel on the one side but we just also heard prime minister netanyahu saying that he also gets to let

a lot of support from many countries around the world so as always we have 2 very divided perspectives on that issue. tanya the israeli prime minister said israel's operations will continue but meanwhile efforts at a cease fire also ongoing. no chance of a truce. well that's right i mean that and prime minister binyamin netanyahu has again said that he has a lot of backing by the international community at the same time days the sense here that the window of maneuvering for israel to continue this operation is also becoming smaller but again prime minister binyamin netanyahu not only looking at international pressure he also has to keep an eye on the domestic situation and there's also a lot of pressure from people within his space or from other people that he should continue there's a sense that you know hamas should learn

a lesson that there should be deterrence really after this round off hostilities and so security cutting that ended today we're not really sure whether they talked about possibilities or proposals that might be discussed behind behind the scenes to egypt since our. team together with other countries between hamas and israel of course this also the u.s. envoy is still here in the country trying to mediate but at the moment there are conflicting reports whether you know this means there are actually proposals that are being discussed that a cease fire could happen soon there also are the reports that are saying it could take some days until then and finally in his in the very short period of time we have here the u.s. as you surely know is trying to make that cease fire happen is to bite into administration regarded as an honest broker in this conflict. well the matter of

the fact is michael that former president trump policy is still shaping the current situation we have to keep in mind that the palestinians refused to talk to the us for 3 years so it is a very very difficult situation for joe biden and whatever happened after his phone call that netanyahu doesn't kind of seem that he has a lot of influence in this very moment. in his poll in washington and tanya kramer in jerusalem much much thinks the spread of the grove virus appears to be slowing in india cases have fallen for the 3rd day in a row raising hopes that the worst couldn't fact be over but deaths from covert 9000 are still rising more than 4000 people have again died within a day. bodies strewn along the river

bank victims of india's coronavirus catastrophe. hot the ganges meanders through a village on the water flows very slowly here so the bloated corpses get caught on the river bank it's turned the whole area into a pile of bodies. as desperation takes hold in the scramble for curve of 19 vaccines and treatment india's 2nd wave is also affecting the disposal of the dead state officials believe some families are unable to afford the costs of commission as demand skyrockets according to official numbers india has suffered nearly $4000.00 deaths per day for over a week but the true death toll may be even higher. wherever they can people are taking advantage of other people's misery i saw it at a commission site where they were charging exorbitant fees relatives a hopeless as they have no other choice they have to pay whatever is demanded no

matter how unreasonable. there are small signs of improvement the rapid spread of the virus seems to be slowing sparking hope that social distancing measures may be starting to have an effect. more vaccines are also on their way a 2nd batch of russia's sputniks we landed on sunday but getting enough vaccine to protect india's 1300000000 population will take time for now indians are left picking up the pieces of the devastation left behind. should the tokyo lympics go ahead most japanese say no nearly 2 thirds favor the games being cancelled according to a new poll a 4th wave of corona virus infections means a state of emergency is already in force in the tokyo area only one percent of the

population has been fully vaccinated. almost nothing has gone as planned ahead of what is still called the tokyo 2020 olympics at a wednesday news conference even by your question please a man posing as a journalist staged a cancel the olympics protest for the olympic committee's spokesman. no. we don't want the olympics and used. that great no i'm sorry to disappoint you that it was me not the president today obviously would have probably made that stance a little bit more interesting and. 7 the stunt though voiced the same disapproval the japanese themselves are voicing in small protest groups and in big polling data that shows 59 to 65 percent favor canceling the games in light of the pandemic.

i was surprised that the number of people who are against the olympics have increased this much but i guess that reflects how bad the situation of the coronavirus is. but olympics organizers are moving forward and one thing that did go according to plan for them a dress rehearsal of what the track and field competition could look like. a mostly empty stadium safe for athletes and officials who've been placed into a virtual bubble. 4 time olympic medalist justin gatlin won the test 100 meters and was a few sivan his praise despite living in a locked down room to sleep to watch netflix to dine and then he was let out to train and compete this competition here was a precursor to see exactly how you know the new picks can go off. maintaining a bubble for the athletes to be able to stay healthy and also the citizens of japan

to be able to stay healthy with foreign athletes foreign athletes coming into the country i think it was a success. definitely different it's going to be hard to adapt but the caution is definitely needed. should the games go off as imagined or imagined this could well be the look world class competitors inside the venues and the athletes olympic village. protests on the outside. well the late basketball great kobe bryant has been inducted into the n.b.a. hall of fame he was killed last year in a helicopter crash with his daughter and 7 others on board brian played his entire career with the los angeles lakers and won 5 n.b.a. championships with the team the 18 time all star is being honored with a special exhibit called coby a basketball life that explores his prolific career bryant was inducted by michael jordan the only other player to receive his own exhibit. coming up after the break

reporter travels to new york to look at the downside of the big apple we'll have more headlines at the top of the hour for now. for me in the entire news team here in berlin thanks so much for watching. chad's. of. extruded. glitter glitter. there against prejudice and. i did nothing just. for

breaking news thanks. to all our little stars on the big stage. it's struck me 17 w. . past. new york a global metropolis brimming with culture energy life and of course money but behind the glitz and glamour there's a different story. one in 5 new yorkers is living through the pandemic in poverty. last year 6 lost her jobs and one of her sons now she ekes out a living collecting bottles.

harris wants to help she collects food donations for people in need because the things wealthy new yorkers throw away are desperately needed by the city's poor. it's payday for 6 tilly on barrio she has an entire week's worth of work in these bags and every cent counts. after that there are $144.00 cans and here each once worth $0.06 what or that's a $0.16 for each bag. so that i get $0.14 and i have 5 days it should be $230.00 total. come out of the emperor thank. since then has lived in new york city for 34 years

she immigrated illegally from mexico her husband left the family and 6 there raised 5 children all by herself. before the pandemic 6 they had 4 cleaning jobs now she only has one in order to pay the $600.00 rent for her room she collects bottles every day. family decade in my hand know what. early in the morning or at night after dark since the pandemic lots of people cannot bottles or even the men can take the supermarket cuts full of bottles yet it wasn't like that before but now with a pandemic it's the only way we can survive we don't get help otherwise they might already be a bit but. we're not the number one graduate or. put another one on top. after all thanks. to. the recycling contractor the. ad buys

6 does bottles is waiting a few blocks away. across the east river in manhattan project harris and her team of volunteers are also collecting not bottles but cookies to give to new yorkers in need. these cookies are among the most popular in the city chocolate and peanut butter chocolate chip and walnut $7.00 apiece and the boxes are full. today cookies these are pieces of loaf it looks like a lemon loaf it's almost always there cookie is a lot of leftover cookies muffins whatever they don't sell from them the night before we take them and it's still pretty good stuff that's not stale or anything if the team didn't take these baked goods they'd be thrown away like so much food

in the city. or that's going to be really hairy. let's go 1st i'm going to get that i think so get a bowl we can stop if we need better bridget's main job is delivering meals by bicycle for a delivery app but on the side she collects food donations all over new york city for the nonprofit rescuing leftover cuisine her family's originally from liberia for her fighting hunger is personal but when i was there i was going through a civil war and starvation so ever since then i have hated the sea the amount of food that gets wasted and then just seeing people on the streets hungry right here in america it really hurts to know that people are wasting food when it's hungry people out there. today they drop off the donations at the bowery mission in southern manhattan. it's the oldest christian relief mission in the city . it all gets carefully weighed.

it was a total of $182.00 pounds of our pick up today. very good. here are you proud 50 yeah i know i knew it was going to be over 150 i just didn't know it was going to hit 200 but this is still pretty good. the barry mission has been helping the city's poor for 140 years even in the day. as of the spanish flu it provided food and a place to sleep and today thanks to bridget and her team there's a delicious cookie for dessert 2. back in brooklyn 60 has arrived at the collection point she has fewer employees than usual that's because she's been on a hunger strike together with 14 others she's been calling on the state to finally

help immigrants like her because they're undocumented they're not eligible for most government aid. you remember. i took part because there needs to finally be justice yet there are so many immigrants hired and most of us pay taxes yet but why because we thought that was the only way we would eventually get a residency permit by paying taxes on the border my mom had in the belly of the family but. the protest was an act of desperation she says eventually she no longer felt hunger. that i now what i was we were given coconut water to drink and a vitamin pounded to keep the body killing them i lost 61 days if. i want them i go on to say the it was a success new york state is now promised $2100000000.00 to help people like 16

she's one of more than half a 1000000 undocumented immigrants living in new york city the success of the hunger strike has given them courage. said m m m m m. it was a. very happy because we did it but i mean it's great for us but everything is going to get a much better life country where the money will come don't help us i think people even get residents to. live on a lot of. the money from the state is not yet here and neither are other documents but at least there is cycling contractor has arrived 6 that gets a little less than she hoped for but she still happy. oh. yeah i got he paid me 193 down as we get.

back at the bowery mission i should put on he is making sure everything is ready for lunch soon the clients will be arriving. we're going to start packing up at about 11 o'clock. so in about 5 minutes. they distribute 2 to 300 meals every day impossible without the help of volunteers. so whatever we have out now we can probably just wrap them up and start fantasizing and getting ready to pack up ok thanks guys. you guys are all the time back there so how about this let's start bringing back the crates of living cookies and i'll show you where you can put them. before coated people ate in the dining hall but now it's all takeout for you very very. most of the people here are regulars. and i eat

a treat here and i'm sure. my kidney also comes here on a regular basis. let's see there's watermelon. looks like a beef stew. with some cabochon rice. and some bread. mike is a trained x. ray technician he lost his job and home before the pandemic it's a difficult time to find new work and get back on his feet he appreciates any help he can get. because good love watermelon saved the rest for later. because so many people are homeless during the pandemic the city has temporarily put them up in hotels my friends some of them are in homeless shelters so they move them to whole tells motels and then they lost or they couldn't pay for their phone bills they lost their job unemployment took a long time. so i lost contact with

a lot of people that i consider friends and the baron mission to help me a lot lot of the people that work there just sitting and talking to them for like 45 minutes. just got me out of the deep space you know space and became. optimistic instead of pester mr. he never thought he'd be in this position relying on help from others. humiliating. but it's humbled me because i did have a good paying job and relying on someone i've never been used to that i don't like relying on people. but until you finds work he has no choice but last year has taken its toll for a while there i was really not. doing anything i was just depressed

gave the city was like dead i mean i was just laying in bed doing nothing just get even more depressed mike wants to leave new york as soon as he can to go somewhere where life is easier and cheaper. 6 is also getting a snack the pandemic hasn't just made life more difficult it also took away her youngest son unemployment alcohol depression he was only 30 years old. let the world bank you hear in your mind you i went into the bathroom and died within 5 minutes and i was downstairs and i was going to get the car and taken to coney island and that's when my other son said mom quick my brother reason responding he's asleep i run like crazy up the stairs.

but by then he was dead. my son was dead. i was gonna get oh you are going to leave here i've been here for 34 days until the moment i don't want to be here but i want to go back to my brothers i'll get through this year and then i'll go back to mexico i go to my leg work on the market i mean i'm up there we are going to go to meet their. family but i made it. for many new york is a city of dreams for people like 6th of the pandemic has turned it into a nightmare. a nightmare she wants to escape from as soon as possible.
